Rocco Venue Managed Events

Does your business provide entertainment commiserate to what your client's spend?

The real question should be "do I really need entertainment, because my place is totally the bomb?"

Yes, were sure it is. But bombs land in clusters, and your place has to compete the "bomb" two miles away. And that place might have
a kick entertainment schedule. So if your NOT having fun events for your customers, and the OTHER place is, well you can guess the
way this goes.

Remember this one thing, these are tough economical times, people want to relieve stress and feel YOU have given them a fun night out.
Offering them a bar stool and and you and your bartenders magnetic personality, will certainly get them in the door, but for how long?
Your customer's are spending their hard earned dollars in YOUR establishment, providing them with a diverse entertainment venue is an
excellent way of telling them you appreciate their patronage.

Do you have the time to find the best entertainment and is a managed program worth your ROI?

The first sign of how "entertainment worthy" your business is the ring on the juke box. If people are pumping dollars in the box, it is
telling you, yelling at you, " your folks love music, do something about it." Rocco Managed Entertainment herein after known as RME,
not only feeds this need, but works closely with your beer/alcohol reps to get you the best prices and latest promotional products.

ROI, or Return On Investment, is a key factor in your decision to decide what your willing to spend to make. One thing for sure is "spend
nothing get nothing" but this does NOT mean you have to leverage your granny's gold crowns. In fact, entertainment is one of the
best ROI's going. Why? Because, you use the "gate" or entrance fee for the payment of the band. RME guarantees band's they will get
our agreed price, but we only give bonus of 10% of the gate should they pack the place. This works out great, bands know their getting
paid, and your not going to take a bath because we use every promotional tool at our disposal to ensure a good turn out.

RME has a strong belief in diversity in music and entertainment program, this is not to say we are going to turn your business into
something that is was not meant to be. We are going to give YOUR crowd the experience they came to your place for, be it clubb'n
tropical, jazz or country. Dan Rocco is EXCEPTIONAL at feeling out the needs of your customers. He has made a career out of it!

Is your speciality club ownership or entertainment management?

Believe it when we say the two, are as far apart as they can get.

As an owner, you knows how to find the business, hire staff and procure supplies to keep said business running. And make no mistake
that is SUPER important! Unfortunately, that does not leave a whole lot of time working on your entertainment & events. Things like
searching out the best entertainers, a highly time consuming endeavor, spending QUALITY time with your beverage reps, creating
promotional materials and blogging them on social networks.

Consider RME your third arm, ears and eyes. To have Dan & staff, is a seamless part of your management . We take your success personally
and quite frankly, we're not making money if your not making money. And we all need to make money.... The general public rarely knows
how much time and work goes into the running of a bar business, and we'd like to keep it that way. When a crowd perceives the staff as
"having fun" they will naturally follow. Usually, Dan takes over "bouncer control" when coming aboard, having a well mannered and polite
security staff is an ESSENTIAL part of the guest experience. Especially at closing time, No one I repeat NO ONE likes to drop a boat load
of cash and be assaulted at closing time! Period. If it is done properly, a bouncer should never even have to raise his voice! Remember,
their called CUSTOMERS not CATTLE! Dan can't tell you the times he's seen a business go under for just this very reason.....

Do you a lock on promotional, distributor incentives and local and national talent needs?

Here is the 'look in the mirror" question. If you can answer yes to the above question, great! Thanks for your time to read this! If your
not sure if you got it all down, perhaps we'll look into what we do precisely.
