Can you think of great ways to scam the drinking public out of their hard earned income?

Answer 1

Promotions,2 for 1,happy hour ,quiz nights,open mic accoustic nights,under 18,s ,over 25,s ,singles nights,salted foods on the bar ,fun nights (sumo suits ,karaoke ,bungee runs) if you have a good imagination it will be a success,having the right thing on the right night is the key.

Answer 2

Take a perfectly good pub. Rip the guts out of it, along with most of the seats and install a really loud sound system and flashing lights. Give the place a stupid name (It's important to call it a BAR). It helps if it is part of a chain so that the chavs know what to expect. Puts bouncers on the door. Make sure all you sell is eurofizz beer and bottles of flourescent coloured fluid made from e-numbers and industrial alcohol.
Works every time!

Answer 3

Yes! Circulate a voucher that is allegedly only for a select few suppliers that gives 40 % discount off the wine in your shop. Send people into a frenzy via the internet thinking they are getting a bargain but what you neglect to tell them is that your prices are usually 40% higher than supermarkets and that the whole "the voucher was only meant for a select few and has got out of hand" is a clever marketing gimmick!!!!

Answer 4

Oh yes.
After your customers have had a good few beers, convince them that they really need something that looks really amazing, too good to be true, then get your own premium rate number and tell them to call em. calls cost £1,50 p/m and keep them on hold for 2 Min's, then have the system cut them off , see haw many people ding back, the idiots, but when they see an offer to good to be true, the drink will tell em, "Go on, call 1 more time. You'll be rich
Best of all, this isn't that illegal

Answer 5

At the last pub i worked at, we took 1 bottle of vk alcopop (about 4%, not even as strong as wkd), then devided it up into shot glasses, addind a tiny amount of vodka on the top. We sold each shot for £1 each (to drunk guys who never drink vk on its own). This worked for 3 reasons; one because we had a hot bar maid selling them, 2, because the first thing that toutched their lips was the vodka their sub concious told them it was strong (let alone the anticipation of it being a shot) and three because they never drink vk, they cant compare the 'shots' to anything. So from one bottlle of vk the pub bought from suppliers for 27p, we made 12 shots out of it thus making £11 pure profit per bottle. We sold 50 shots ever saturday for about 2 a months before a guy gave his shot to his girlfriend, but hey, you do the maths.

Answer 6

Open a pub where the bouncers are friendly and have never been known to be hostile, all the while making sure that idiot louts, chavs and general good for nothings are kept out so decent people can eat, drink and socialise without fear of being murdered.

Answer 7

yes here is a belter...
take a drink that is taxed at a lower rate than say beer or lager or wine or spirits
bottle it
create a glossy advertising campiagn aimed at teenagers and early twenties
ensure that the product is served with lots of ice (hides some of the unpleasent flavours) and serve chilled
double the cost of the product

...and you have a surefire technique....its called Magners Irish Cider...

Another one could be:
take some spirits, add water
add lost of sugar,
add some wierd garish coluring
create a glossy advertising campiagn aimed at teenagers
...and you have a surefire technique....its called alcopops, WKD, Bacardi Breezers...you name they'll advertise it.

Answer 8

Yes. Produce a beer that tastes like urine, then develop a clever advertising campaign, subtly aimed at teenage and young adult consumers, who don't have the experience, good taste or sense to look for a better product.

Answer 9

Open a BAR. Seriously man they are rip-offs at the rate they charge.

Answer 10

Yes.
