provide tips and valuable information on what you can do
right now to help protect your club and fellow club owners
in your state. This “team” of speakers will offer their success
stories in regard to defeating negative legislation in their

COAST Training Seminar
A
detailed, hands-on COAST
(Club Operators Against Sex
Trafficking) Training Seminar
will be presented at the upcoming
2016 Gentlemen’s Club EXPO in
New Orleans Aug. 7-10, and all EXPO
attendees are invited.
Mike Ocello
The COAST Training Seminar is
from 3:30-5:30 pm Aug. 7, and will be
presented by ACE Board Member Micheal Ocello, President/
COO of the PT’s Showclubs chain; Kate Reilly, Special
Agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and
Homeland Security Investigations; and Trooper Justin Berry
from the Louisiana State Police.
Club owners and their key staff are urged to attend
because:
— Receiving COAST training educates club staff on how to
identify and report possible human trafficking incidents.
— Receiving COAST training demonstrates to community
groups and local authorities that your club is part of the solution
and in some states can impact the renewal of your license.
— Every seminar attendee receives an official COAST
Training Certificate of Attendance.
— Saving a person from the maltreatment of human
trafficking is an important thing to do.
Ocello reports that Indiana recently passed a law that states
“in determining whether to revoke, suspend or refuse to
renew the permit issued for a licensed premises” authorities
will consider “whether the permit holder has provided training
... to employees ... to increase the awareness of human
trafficking and assist victims of human trafficking” through
a training program that has been approved by “a nationwide
association made up of operators who run adult entertainment
establishments.”
For more information on COAST, visit Acenational.org/

if employees are better prepared for an
emergency, even a terrorist attack, they have
a much better chance of helping your guests
and surviving that emergency.”

“This may not be a fun topic to discuss, but
I can’t stress enough how important it is to

ocial media, text messages and email blasts are all
among the ways in which adult clubs can promote
themselves, either for free or for a very low cost, and reach
potential customers directly through their smart phones. Are
they effective? Absolutely! But what are the strategies clubs
must employ to ensure the success of their digital marketing?
Is Facebook actually “dead”? Has Instagram replaced Twitter
as the number-one social media platform for adult nightclub
promotion? These questions and others will be answered by
social media experts, who will offer specific tips on how to
maximize your social media and digital presence, while turning
those marketing efforts into butts in the seats. At EXPO 2016,
speakers will include Kelly Shibari of the PRSM Group (Public
Relations Social Media); Jenna Gross of Moving Targets; and
Duffy Franclemont of J Dog Media.
“Social media marketing is not something you can ignore,”
says Shibari. “You can’t start a social media campaign, work
on it for a month, then walk away from it, expecting those
posts to somehow become viral, or even retain any sort of
traction. Once you’ve started, you MUST work on maintaining
momentum, so your customers know they are being heard. It’s
not just about putting a few ads on a few social networks and
then forgetting it.”
“All too often, adult nightclubs struggle with a consistent look
and message delivered through their social media channels,”
adds Gross. “For these types of businesses, a consistent look
needs to be conveyed in order to maintain higher clientele
numbers. They must capture the environment that they want
customers to come to in a limited frame. A club’s social media
presence must remain focused; it’s as important as a club’s
website.”

For the first time ever at EXPO, a T.I.P.S.
—Training for Intervention ProcedureS—
Seminar to train and certify club owners,
GMs, bartenders and servers!
“tips” training sEMINAR!
Monday, 1 - 2 pm, presented by Trevor Estelle, VP with TIPS
S
erving alcohol isn’t a problem ... until it’s a
problem. When it comes to serving alcohol
service, club owners should be aware of two
trends that can affect their bottom line. First, there has
been a significant increase in the number of legal actions
being taken against clubs for serving alcohol to intoxicated
customers. Many of these cases are being settled out of
court for millions of dollars. Second, there is a growing
prohibitionist movement that is making it more and more
difficult to sell and consume alcohol. If you’re like most
club owners, alcohol service accounts for a large portion
of your revenue. You need to be aware and concerned!
What can we do? It is imperative that you keep your
customers safe, while protecting your employees,
establishment, and franchise from lawsuits. By becoming
certified in a responsible alcohol server training course,
you are making a reasonable effort to prevent underage
consumption, drunk driving, and intoxication. In addition,
you will improve customer service, receive discounts
on liquor liability insurance, and you demonstrate to
the community that you and your establishment have
zero-tolerance policy when it comes to selling alcohol to
underage and/or intoxicated customers.
Whether it be ignition interlocks in every vehicle,
increased taxes on alcohol, and/or decreasing the legal
BAC limit to operate a motor vehicle, it is getting to the
point where customers are scared and confused when it
comes to consuming alcohol in public. This apprehension
will eventually eat into your bottom line. To combat this
movement, we must arm ourselves with education and
training.
A reputable training program, such as the TIPS
Program, will train and certify your staff on how to
recognize signs of intoxication, effectively intervene to
prevent problem situations, and handle refusal situations
with greater confidence. This will, in turn, protect your
assets and quell the prohibitionist movement.
Trevor Estelle, Vice President at TIPS, will be offering
a session during this year’s EXPO that you won’t want to
miss. The session will cover everything from effective
measures clubs can take to prevent underage sales,
intoxication and drunk driving to developing a sound
alcohol service policy to jurisdictional laws and regulations
that govern the sale, service, and consumption of alcohol.
Establishment and governments across the country
are requiring TIPS training. To learn how you can get
TIPS certified, please visit www.gettips.com or be sure to
attend this year’s EXPO.
“You will improve customer service, receive
discounts on liquor liability insurance, and
you demonstrate to the community that you
and your establishment have zero-tolerance
policy when it comes to selling alcohol to
underage and/or intoxicated customers.”

Also for the first time ever at EXPO, the “Urban
Club” panel ever will address the differences
between traditional clubs and urban clubs, and
what club owners need to consider if they’re
contemplating an urban format.
The “URBAN CLUB” SECRET
Monday, 1 - 2 pm
I
n several cities across the country—Atlanta, Miami,
New York, just to name a few—“urban” clubs are among
the most popular adult club venues. But what exactly
is making them so successful? What aspects of their format
can a traditional adult nightclub adapt? And if a club owner is
considering changing their format to that of an “urban club,”
what are some of the critical components of club operation
that need to be considered?
Our panel of “urban club” owners and operators—D.C.
Glenn, formerly a DJ at legendary urban club Magic City
in Atlanta and former club executive for Strokers, also in
Atlanta; Jack Pepper, an industry veteran who now owns
Club Babe’s in Atlanta, a club which adopted an urban format
in 2012; and Ryan Weaver of the Club Onyx clubs—will
discuss the differences between their clubs and “traditional”
adult nightclubs, why these clubs are so popular, what needs
to be considered before any a club adapts a more “urban”
format.
“You have club owners that are good ole boys, and it
shows with their clubs; and then you have some club owners
that know what is popular now, like black clubs, but also
know that they have to have someone, like a GM, to run it
for them because they know the culture,” says Glenn, Glenn
became well known as a member of the hip-hop duo Tag
D.C. Glenn
Jack Pepper
Ryan Weaver
Team which wrote and recorded the famous track, “Whoomp
(There It Is).” “A white owner just can’t open a black club and
expect it to work if they don’t know the culture. Perhaps a
good example of this would be what (the Galardi South club
chain) did with King of Diamonds down in Miami when it
opened. Same goes if you have a Spanish club. If it’s a white
club owner, they need to have the right people to run it and
that starts with understanding the culture.”
“One of the reasons I’ve had success in the ‘urban club’
market is because I took the more traditional operational club
practices and brought them over to the urban club industry,”
says Pepper, the former VP of Marketing for the Galardi South
chain. “In my experience, it’s 50 times easier to market urban
clubs than traditional clubs.”
“Urban Club of the Year” Award
added to 2016 ED Awards lineup!
In addition to our first-ever EXPO seminar devoted to “urban clubs,” ED Publications has
added its first-ever “Urban Club of the Year” Award. This category will recognize the eight top
“urban clubs” in the country, and will be included as a new category on the pre-nominations
ballot at the official ED Awards website, www.theEDawards.com.
“We recognized that there was an entire niche of adult nightclubs—a very successful
niche—that was not being properly recognized by our Annual ED Awards,” says ED
Publications’ Associate Publisher, Dave Manack. “To this end, we have introduced the only
‘national’ award for the nation’s top urban adult clubs.”
The “Urban Club of the Year” Award will be presented, along with several other ED Awards,
at the EXPO’s Official Opening Night Showcase Party and Pre-ED Awards on Monday, August
8th, at Republic NOLA.

bottom line.
But what
are the tips
to doing it—and doing it right? Our food service expert—
David Simmons, Director of Operations of the “Bombshells”
breastaurant chain and an executive with the RCI Hospitality
club chain—will help clubs with the information and insight
they need to either add bar food to their club’s repertoire, or
improve its profitability at their club if already offered.
“People go to adult nightclubs for the entertainment, but
food is an additional element that can not only help bring
customers in, it can help keep them there,” says Simmons.
“They think, ‘I’m here for the entertainment, but I would love
a great burger.’ People will order food if there is good quality;
it always has to be about quality. In clubs, food becomes
something extra, but we find if we put out a good product,
you aren’t selling just a few burgers a day—you’re selling 100
a day.
“Incorporating food into your adult venue is going to take
a lot of planning,” Simmons adds. “You see people say, ‘I
want to do food’, and then just throw it together. That doesn’t
work. Food is very different, and there are a lot of elements
to food. Even with a burger you’re talking about the right bun,
the right meat, the right cheese, the right sauces, the right
tomato, lettuce, pickle, etc., and that’s just one product. A
lot of planning needs to go into it. Don’t just throw together
a menu and put it out there and end up with items that aren’t
right. It’s extremely important to sit back, take your time and
not rush to do it all.”

“I’m not the kind of person
who can micromanage clubs or
‘call the shots’ from 100 or 1,000
miles away; I need to be in the
trenches with each individual club
to know exactly what works in that
market,” says Reardon, an industry
veteran and Vice President with
Warren Colazzo
the Christie’s Cabaret chain of clubs.
“Club owners should be listening to the guys and girls
in the trenches every day, and managers should talk to
customers to make sure they know the pulse of what’s
really happening in the club and in that market.”
“I’m in the trenches six days a week—I have to be,”
adds Fusco, another industry veteran who is the General
Manager for the Hustler Club in San Francisco. “Today, the
biggest challenge in the day-to-day operations is keeping
up with the daily social media requirements and staying
relevant. The ‘old school’ promotions that clubs used to
do simply don’t work anymore.”

Legal Panel &
2016
Election Special
Wednesday, Noon - 1 pm
A
s yet another Presidential election year is upon us in 2016—
one that promises to be one of the most controversial in the
past 40 years—our panel will discuss and debate the potential impact
this election can and will have upon the adult nightclub industry, from
judicial nominations to national legislation. They’ll also discuss what
power adult club owners, operators and staff wield via their ability to
register voters and promote specific candidates or political agendas.
Set to discuss the legal aspects of the upcoming election is
esteemed First Amenedment attorney John
Weston, who offered this prose on behalf of the
seminar:
“‘These are the times that try men’s souls,”
wrote Thomas Paine on December, 23
1776, adding, ‘Tyranny, like hell, is not easily
conquered….What we obtain too cheap, we
esteem too lightly.’”
“Two centuries later, Merle Haggard sang,
John Weston
‘I wish a buck was still silver / It was back when
the country was strong / Back before Elvis/ Before
the Vietnam war came along / Before The Beatles
and ‘Yesterday’/When a man could still work, still
would / The best of the free life behind us now/
And are the good times really over for good?’”
“The words of both men have an eerie
poignancy for this election season, and, once
again, we must try to make some sense out of
Joe Redner
the senseless,” Weston adds. “Please join my
distinguished colleagues and me in our quest to
characterize America, liberty, the omnipresence
of tyranny and the price of our ceaseless
vigilance. We will hold a mirror up to all and ask
‘are the good times really over for good?’”
Joining Weston in a debate-style capacity will
be two club owners: Joe Redner, the famed
Mons Venus owner who also ran for Tampa City
Jerry Westlund
Council and has always been very politically active,
who will be presenting the “Democrat” side; and Jerry Westlund,
outspoken owner of the Fantasy Showclubs/Pony Clubs chain, who
will be presenting the “Republican” side.
“[Former President Bill] Clinton judicial nominations have left us
all in the cold and simply fattened industry lawyers’ pockets,” says
Westlund, boldly. “It’s time to try something new for this year’s
election!”

eing the top DJ not only in your club, but in your
entire market, is the aspiration for many adult club
DJs/emcees. But what does it take to become known as
the best of the best? As any successful club DJ knows,
being the best extends beyond the booth. What type
of relationship do you have with club management and
entertainers? How do you conduct yourself both inside
and outside of the booth? This seminar, presented by
PANDA, will outline the critical components to becoming a
top club DJ.
“Being an adult nightclub DJ is a competitive
business!” says Dane Hansen, President of PANDA and
DJ with the Paper Moon clubs. “There are only a few top
positions in most markets, so how does a DJ become the
‘top dog’ in their market? What separates the good DJs
from the great DJs? How can a DJ improve or add to their
skills? How can managers, staff and entertainers make the
club’s DJ better? What trends are the top DJs following
that other DJs should learn? How will a club benefit from
having the top DJ in their market? These questions and
more will be answered by our panel at EXPO.”
Speakers will include Hansen, as well as Ilan Fong,
PANDA Secretary & Board Member, also resident DJ at
Kahoots, Columbus Ohio; and Danny Meyers, Chairman
of the PANDA Broadcast Committee and also of The
Harem in Dayton Ohio.
