Episode notes
One night you’re busy. Next night? Dead. No pattern. No consistency. All you can do is hope that people will show up. Most bar owners think it’s a marketing problem. It’s not. You just haven’t given people a reason to come in. In this episode, I sit down with Bryan Carr from Geeks Who Drink to break down how programming, like trivia, bingo, and weekly events, actually drives consistent traffic and higher spend. If your weeknights are unpredictable and you’re tired of guessing what works… This will change how you think about your bar.
