theshishahouse Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Guys, I am looking for ideas of events to promote shisha In South Korea.they do not really smoke shisha here yet, and I was wondering what you guys did at your lounges.In my case, I hade a couple of BBQ parties. Next week, a Peach party with Peach shishas, Peach tea, Peach Beer. (the same will go with the "X on the beach" flavor soon)Any other different Idea?

theshishahouse Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 I already sell hookah and tobacco, but more at a wholesale level.For individuals, It seems that the Koreans are not ready to bring a hookah home. To much a burden to prepare.The lotto stuff is a good idea. here people dont invite each other at home. home is a sacred place. I need to find a way to attract people to come back or to smoke. people come in to look at others smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SammyDDS Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Fill the place with hot asain women, get some Dj's, and put glow sticks in the base of the hookahs. And make some kind of alcohol in the base of the hookah as well. That is what happens at some of the hookah bars in America, that I have been to.Good Luck,-Dr. Sammy DDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookahbiz Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I've heard Korea is a great place to open a hookah lounge, especially with so many US solders who have been to Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshishahouse Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 In Korea, 30 000GI's, mostly in Seoulf for more than 50 000 000 people. That's not THE market. Amd I am not in Seoul. Getting the local, that's where the money is. Thsese days, i am getting some Kashmir Peach to get the heavy smokers.Koreans like Hookah, but see it a bit pricy, since tobacco is really cheap here: 2.5$ a load.

Allia22 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Can't really suggest anything, sorry. I think the best idea for any place is to offer the best service and products possible, and let everyone know by word of mouth. Maybe take one outside and let passers-by try it out?
