See a need, but HOW?

Maybe you all can help....

I see a need but not sure how to go about laying the ground work to see it through.

I'd like to be able to offer couples an opportunity to get away from the kids, maybe rekindle a little romance, but basically get out for a night of dinner and dancing without the bar scene. I've noticed that there really isnt anything already offered locally that provides this option instead of "dinner and a movie" or the bar scene.

I know there are couples out there that could benefit from having some place to go to enjoy dancing together, either upbeat music or slow dancing, but something away from the bar scene that keeps them from going out.

My problem is in the planning and how to construct such a presentation to someone to possibly implement something like this. But then, I see that I also need to identify whom I want to present this idea to in the first place as well as is it a profitable concept worthy of interest for a restaurant or banquet hall?

I'm not interested in hosting a dance or anything like that, the legistics are just to tangled up to want to go there. But maybe if I can somehow collaberate with someone, an entertainment alternative can actually give people another option and have a farther reaching effect???

Thoughts?

Sponser a romantic dinner dance at a local banquet hall and in a seperate room have an extended bubble party for the kids.

I think setting an Ad campaign focused on Church's, and Fraternal/Social Clubs would be where I would start. Offer 3,6 7,8,.......multiple event packages where they sign up for several programs up front maybe on a bi-monthly basis, and you offer a multiple event discount.

In addition see what you can put together with a local "day care" provider, to watch the kiddies....................??

Just a couple of thoughts........

You may wish to contact local VFWs, American Legions, Elks, or any other organizations that usually have free-standing halls, and are allowed to serve meals and liquor. They may wish to sponsor ( partnered with you ) a monthly or bi-weekly "Couples Night Out". to include those outside their membership. You can use the idea of a possible increase in membership as a result for a way to convince the clubs.

One big point: Leave the kid care to the parents. You do NOT want any part of the responsibility or any parental hassles... Been there, done that. NO

I agree with "not getting involved" with the "Kiddie Care" situation. That's why going in with a local "Day Care" center will solve the kiddie problem.

Experience as taught me that if you can't offer a solution to the "Kiddie" problem................You won't get the parents!

That is probably the #1 reason young married couples w/kids to not get out socially.............anybody know what #2 might be...????
