In this video, filmed in November 2023 , I was at an event organised by VES, which is the Association of Quality Clubs in the Netherlands. I was delivering a presentation on staff retention but at the point in this clip I'm talking about what I call generational clubs. And the question I was asking was have we been around long enough now where there are different types of clubs that different generations are attracted to, as opposed to what's closest or what's cheapest?

#8 Market Enthusiast Diary: Reviving Pubs and Bars with the Euro Cup Fever Are you on your way to a pub or club, or settling in front of a giant TV to watch the semi-final of England versus the Netherlands? Today’s Euro Cup match is a prime example of how pubs and bars are attracting crowds once again. Last Sunday, I watched England’s thrilling win at a local pub, and it was amazing to see the place packed with fans. Here are some observations: - Electric Atmosphere: The pub was filled with excitement, with multiple projectors showing the game and fans cheering loudly. - Special Offers: Attractive deals like three beers for ten pounds or four shots for eight pounds drew in many customers. - Innovative Strategies: - Sharky Sportsclub Bar: Focuses on quality screenings with great sound, indoor games, and a variety of beverages and food, making it a hub for sports fans. - Evelyn Cafe Bar: Targets youth with new cocktails, mocktails, and a space for gatherings. They incorporate technology, like scanning for easy orders, transforming traditional bars into vibrant, modern spaces. - Government Support: The recent move to allow extended opening hours on match days and create more spacious seating areas is helping pubs and bars attract more customers. - Lively Bar Attendants: Bar attendants dress up, support teams, and create a lively atmosphere, acting almost like cheerleaders. - Community and Gathering: Pubs and bars are now more about creating a sense of community and gathering, with special offers for groups to enjoy together. Recognizing the decline in traditional pub and club attendance, the hospitality industry is focusing on the secret ingredient of creating memorable experiences and fostering a sense of community. This approach is helping them reconnect with customers and drive engagement. #EuroCup2024 #HospitalityRevival #PubsAndBars #CommunityGathering #CustomerEngagement #SportsMarketing #InnovativeStrategies #UnitedKingdom #Jobseeker

Hospitality has played a great game over recent weeks, and it seems to be winning. But as we know after experiences in recent years, anything can happen in this game. So, is the hospitality sector winning or losing and will it see a bigger difference through the knockout stages of the Euros? With the added blessing of a mini heatwave in the UK and the Euros being held in Germany (hello to all our German colleagues) it means games are being shown at good times for us fans and hospitality providers in the UK. The Men’s UEFA Euro 2024 Spending Report by VoucherCodes.co.uk (see the link in the comments) also reveals that 14.4m Brits will watch at least one match at a pub, bar, or restaurant during the competition – a 115% increase from the last men’s major international tournament. UK hospitality venues are predicted to make £217.3m from food sales and £396.5m from drinks sales. That’s 110.3m pints of beer and cider, 36.1m glasses of wine, and 10.9m Aperol Spritz, roughly. That’s an extra 20M pints and an extra £94M in revenue. Giving a much-needed boost to the Hospitality sector over the period of the Euros. All of this is a bit like bringing on Ronaldo, Mbappe, and Bellingham off the bench, all at the same time with 20 mins to go and needing a winning goal. UKHospitality has said that the Euros group stage could give a boost of £340m in increased sales, and up to £800m if England reach the final! (And yes, we know, it doesn’t happen often but in the name of Hospitality we’re keeping our fingers crossed). So, whether England do eventually bring it home or it’s another nation lifting the trophy, let’s hope hospitality wins, with bars and restaurants across Europe buzzing with fans eating, drinking and enjoying the beautiful game. One thing is for sure, it seems that venues in the hospitality sector need to make sure they’re staffed up, their glass and dishwashers are in good form and make the most of the coming weeks. The hospitality sector deserves it. Whoever you’re supporting in the knockout stages… we’re supporting you.

What message is your club sending? The dark spot in front of the main entrance where a logoed welcome mat SHOULD be. The empty cart placard where a promotional piece COULD be. The missing nametag on your Pro Shop staff - the lack of warm music in your building - the empty sand and seed bottle on the golf cart - the lack of wedding packages or membership information on the table in the lobby - these are all clear messages. They say, "We weren't expecting you." "We didn't consider you." "We don't want you." Is your club in "ready position?" #hospitality #countryclubs #clubs #customerservice #golfmarketing

🇲🇹 SBC will return to its hosting duties on Tuesday with the sixth edition of the CasinoBeats Summit in Malta. 🎉 For those of you based on the island, the good news is that there’s still plenty of time to get your tickets. 🎟️ Personally, there’s a lot I am looking forward to: 🕹️The John Romero keynote is one of them. Have you played DOOM (who hasn’t?) Well, to have the chance to meet the guy is just major. John did an interview with my colleague Ellis Davis recently, and it was a fascinating watch - he does such a great job connecting his experience to the casino industry - so there’s definitely a lot to learn there. 💬I’m moderating a panel on Thursday morning about monetising traffic beyond ‘traditional’ models, so please do come by - there’s a lot to uncover there and it will make for a fascinating discussion. 🎮This event is focused on all things #casino, and we’ve tried to ensure that apart from meeting a bunch of game studios on the expo floor, you can come away from the event with practical solutions and takeaways on how you can stand out in this competitive landscape. We have creativity and design workshops and hackathons lined up, so do take a look at the website to find out what this event has to offer. And! We will have streamers on the expo floor testing new releases, so make sure to stop by and watch them in action. 📈Another fascinating thing to look forward to is the market-specific #roundtables. #Regulation is complex, but we’ll try to walk you through it market-by-market in a direct, digestible way. ❤️ And of course, there are multiple activities designed specifically for the women in gaming, which I’m personally very very excited about and think makes for a great addition to the event. See you there? 😊 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 - https://bit.ly/3QMnTvb ________________________________________________________ Where: InterContinental Hotel, Malta When: 21st - 23rd May 2024 #sbcevents #CasinoBeatsSummit
