This week has been another interesting and different week at the club.
Thursday i was told about new ideas to bring more vistors into the venue on nights that werent so popular, 1 idea is everybody who is involved in the emergancy services and so on.
So on thursday i was required to research on the net numbers and addresses for hospitals, ambulances, dentist, highway services, nursing homes and add them to the databased which already contained police and fire services.
After doing this research i was sent around town to do a final leaflet push for our easter sunday event.
Friday i was required to go around the services i reserached in the nhs and get social sectarys/human resource teams names/numbers/emails, so if this became popular we could send information out to them. I was also told too look for any advertising space in the building.
This proved hard as i only new where a few places were with not being from leeds myself, so i went to the hospital for some info and a wonder, i also spoke to the shop owner there to see if he could give out information if this was to go ahead. I also headed up to the dentist building but this was shut due to easter.
So i called the police station who managed to give me a name for there social secretary, i also called the fire station but they lacked info as it was bank holiday.
Sunday night i was sent out PR-in for tonights event with one of the management team, town was very quite but there was also a massive competing monthly event on at the corn exchange and everyone seemed to be heading for there. So me, another girl and the manager for that night headed up for headingly as we heard through the grapevine it was busy, but by the time we got there there was not many people about as we would of liked. We did a quick round of the city centre again to check out the competition then headed back to the club.
This week i have learnt about the different markets of people that we could attract to the venue, i have also learnt how hard it is when you have major competition close by and how much you must plan for this, even then it is not guaranteed that you will get the numbers expected in your venue that night.
