Description: for many people
games as a social event are a pleasant way of spending free time
with friends. In many countries there are very few places that
organize and provide clients with this type of activities, which are
primarily a very good way of socializing. A business of organizing
games might prove very profitable and it could manifest a great
interest among people of any age.
A strategy
for achieving this business could be collecting a fee for
participation and giving prizes to the winners as well as a greater
degree of care about the different games that can be organized every
evening. These games can be: card games (poker, bridge), with games
(chess, Backgammon, Rummy), board games (monopoly, risk, etc.) and
many others.
A big
advantage of this business is that you don't need to have a
space/room with central positioning, this makes it quite accessible
to rent. One very important thing is fitting with the furniture
needed, consisting in the required number of tables and chairs that
can be rearranged daily by organizers for the type of game that will
take place in the evening, this furniture can be found at used
furniture stores or if you follow the ads and you can even catch a
great deal. Prizes can be calculated as a percentage of fees and
profits can come from fees or from serving/selling non-alcoholic soft
drinks. Also the room can be separated into a space for smokers and
one non-smokers. A simple approach would to make the whole activity
look more of a meeting place between friends rather than a bar.
