Keane89 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I was thinking about this while watching Food network's show on hot sauce of the month clubs. I thought what if someone like tangiers or smiley set up a shisha of the month club. Membership would be around idk $70 for the year and the member would receive a 50g sample of the flavor for that month of shisha. Also maybe they would have a page on their website that allowed people to rate the flavors on different categories such as falvor, thickness of smoke, and cut. I understand we have a review page, but they tend only to be certain flavors on their. This would allow people to try unknown and new flavors and be able to talk about them in forum style. I just thought I'd put it out there seeing how we have members who make and sell their own shisha. Also if someone really liked a flavor they could order a bigger bag/tin of it.p.s.-Great way to attract new customers.p.s.s.- I chose 50 g samples because it's not a huge waste if someone doesn't like the flavor, but they can have more than one bowl of it if they do.

Erica Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 thats almost like 6 bucks for a 50g pack hahahaI would say like 48-52 would be more reasonable...Just because of shipping and whatnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not actually planning on doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAKCuMG Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I would def join something like that!Although I'm not entirely new to hookah, I've been limited to only a small number of flavors/companies, and am yet to try most of the shisha out there. Alot of the time, when someone tries a new brand (or flavor) of shisha, they might get an old, dry batch and judge the brand (or flavor) accordingly. With a fresh sample sent every month, the person would at least be guaranteed a posibility to taste the flavor the way it is supposed to be (ofcourse proper settup is up to them). If they like it, they'd order more of the same.I really like the idea of being able to try something out before investing alot of money into it.Keane, I hope other members take notice of this.

Keane89 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Also another thing i was thinking about was if whole hookah companies (social smoke, hookah-shisha, nazarhookah) took notice of this not only could they send different flavors but also diffrent brands. Then people could order directly from that company or from the certain brands company. It's a win win either way. The company can get money from membership and the shisha company could get a lot more orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason you join to discover new flavors and discuss them. Also members could get a chance to try new flavors before they hit the market. So the brand could decide if they want to sell it or not. Edited May 8, 2007 by Keane89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke69 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I would join. I would like to get the samples maybe more often like a 50gram pack every two or three weeks. I would pay around 60$ for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Knight Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 we do have a website (lazydayzhookah.com) but no where to sign up for it online yet. we wanna work out all the kinks before we go national with it... also one of the big things with it is an in-lounge and retail discount, which you wouldn't get the benefit of unless you were in the Hampton Roads area. so basically the pricing wouldn't be as fair for the non locals, and i don't want to do that. however, i'm pretty flexible, and if you're willing to deal with some growing pains, pm me.

Where would you be willing to ship it? I live in Dallas TX so I don't think that would be a problem. But say someone in Canada or overseas. Also I looked at your site and saw that you offer different brands of shisha at your lounge. Would you be offering all brands or just a certain brand?If all matches up I'll consider sending you my address and payment to join.ps. I love your lounge. I love how you offer different styles hookahs. I think I even saw one of those all stainless steel mini hand held hookahs you get at SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be his moral duty as this point to ship samples of the gigantic pile of shisha he has been accumilating. - misterbeetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freepain Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 There are 2 ways you could go about thisUs being a community could set up a monthly brand to buy and a type to buyand just go from themOr you could have a company set it up But if you have a company set it up you could have it set up diffrent tooyou could have everyone getting the same flavor that month and a new one the next but they would all be the sameor you could set up a waiting list almost say i know i want to try Strawberry Mango Mintext...but i dont want coffee at all and coffee is this months.You could be able to select the brands and types that you wanted that month.But that does kinda take the fun out of the whole everyone trys new stuff sorta deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it sucks, oh well...write about it. Also if you don't like it it's only a 50 g bag...toss it out. ps. I think the Forum should start it up with maybe Sonthert/Tangiers (sp?) heading it. Then we could just open another section on the forum titled Shisha of the Month Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freepain Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah and if we as a community do it It takes out the need for a company to push a certain product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
