Newcastle Bar Promoters Spamming Facebook!

If you are a promoter of a bar, event or basically anything on the internet please take note. PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE SPAM!!!

I am a member of lots of groups, forums, websites, Facebook groups and pages on the internet. The correct and best way to utilize this marketing is not to spam people, not to piss them off…You should want them to keep reading the things they have decided to opt into. It seems like some people forget that these services are an opt-in, which means we can leave and then they will have 1 less person on their mailing list.

I get LOADS of messages from Madame Koo from a person in charge of their Facebook page/group…The problem is, i get multiple messages, all the time!! This is very annoying, and instead of getting people to go to the place like its supposed to, it just annoys people. Dont they realise sending 3 emails/messages which are EXACTLY the same in the space of 10 minutes will make people unsubscribe/leave their group. I have noticed people leaving all the time, more than half the people who were in the Facebook group have left, probably because, like me, they are sick.

It is a great tool if it is used correctly. If it is not, it is counter productive, i dont think they even realise how much damage it could do. They might aswell stand outside and shout at every passing person COME IN OUR PACE!! COME ON!! I have not left yet, but they are doing a good job to drive me away.

Check out this screenshot below…These are messages sent to me all within the space of 11 minutes; The Same Message!

Yes, I know its Koosday. Stop bugging me!!!

Koosday too big for Madame Koo

koosday-bigger

Koosday, Madame Koos flagship event is now too big for its venue says its promoters. Koosday is the new word for Tuesday if you hadnt heard.

They have now extended the Koosday experience to next door, Floritas, so there is more space for you to get in and enjoy the party. With its mix of cheap drinks and VIP style table service and full bottles of spirits available, it is the place to be in Newcastle on a Tuesday night.

If you want a reason NOT to go check out the video below. This is Charlie who was in Big Brother. Why does Madame Koo want this as a promo? Tup Tup gets people like Alesha Dixon, and Koos has BB Charlie?!?!  He tries to cling onto some sort of ‘celebrity’ status, but his ‘douche’ status shines much, much brighter. What a twat.

They have an offer on every Monday where you are able to get a drink for only 1p. No, Not £1, 1p. You can get a shot for 1p with every drink bought (99p or over).

Every week Linekers has a different theme. This week at Linekers its a foam party :)
