A Couple More Tips for Your Bingo Concession

Monday, I discussed how your bingo concession should keep its bingo supplies' prices low in order to keep your current bingo players and bring in new ones. Some more obvious, but sometimes overlooked, things to help your bingo concession are:

1. Customer Service: Make sure that your concession staff is friendly and courteous to your bingo players. Don't let a negative minded concession host drive your bingo players away.

2. Cleanliness: Always keep your bingo concession clean and tidy. Nothing turns people off more than a dirty or unkempt selling area. Take an honest look at your bingo concession and ask if more can be done to remove the dirt or clutter. Make your bingo concession look professional!

3. Food Quality: Bingo players, like everyone, want their food to taste good. Instead of looking for the cheapest menu options, try using a higher quality bread for sandwiches and adding better ingredients for other items. Your bingo players will appreciate great tasting food, and you'll likely see some of them arrive early just to eat. These bingo players will then frequently spend additional $$$ in your bingo hall playing pulltabs, raffles, and more. Good food will keep bingo players coming back.

Remember, to treat your bingo players like gold when running a bingo hall and/or bingo concession. Try to make the entire bingo experience a fun event that will make your bingo crowd strong and happy.
