Pretty doesn’t pay the bar tab.
Promoters, free entry should have a strategy behind it.
Comping people just because they look good might help the room look busy, but if they don’t bring friends, buy drinks, book tables, or help build the energy, what did it actually create?
Comps are not bad.
Random comps are.
The right comp list should help you:
bring energy
bring groups
increase spend
support VIP tables
reward loyal guests
build the room early
Free entry should create value for the night, not just fill space.
Use comps like leverage, not giveaways.
DM me COMP if you want the comp list strategy.
