2013 upcoming Focuses
SPECIAL FOCUSES
Every issue of ED Club Bulletin will contain two Special Focuses—the Mainstage Focus and the Sidestage Focus—where we do an in-depth analysis of specific industry topics, trends and market segments. They will each address different areas of interest and responsibility for a club operator, and are designed to give club owners, club general managers and other club personnel the information they need to increase revenues, decrease expenses, find and retain excellent staff, and keep old customers while bringing in new ones.
Our Mainstage & Sidestage Special Focuses go beyond just passing along how-to tips. We also tell our readers which companies and industry professionals are the best ones to contact for products and services within a given Special Focuses area. We do the work for our readers and point them in the direction we know will yield the best results for them.
TO CLUB OPERATORS: If you liked or disliked a Special Focus, or if you have suggestions on Special Focuses we should do in the future, please email your comments to Associate Publisher Dave Manack at dave@EDpublications.com or call him at (727) 726-3592.
TO INDUSTRY VENDORS: We will only be doing a Special Focus on a specific industry topic or market segment once every two years, so if we are targeting an area that you work in, we encourage you to get involved now in that Special Focus. Don’t miss this opportunity where we are focusing the eyes of the entire industry on what you do. Contact Lacy Empkey or Ryan Davis in our Marketing Department at lacy@Edpublications.com or by calling (727) 726-3592.
*Although the entertainers at many adult nightclubs are treated and classified as independent contractors, for editorial purposes, we will include entertainers in the "staff" category of our Special Focuses.
