Houston Our Thoughts On Club Coppia....;)
| Last I talked to the owners, they were trying to switch it to a venue hall business model. Catering to special events, weddings and such. They still have the website and it still ranks #1 for anything houston swingers related. I told him to try to find a buyer for the website, ideally sell it to another couples club, the site gets about 500 Unique visitors / day, and has a maillist of over 3000, and a textlist of over 1375 . The person who buys it would pretty much dominate google for the niche. If TMZ was smart they would buy it. After all Temptation's website pulled people to the strip mall, just so they could park in front of TMZ. The second that website goes down, or another club buys it, all those customers will no longer be drawn to that strip mall, and TMZ's crowd will start to shrink. |
| Yes Coppia is very nice. The only place they could use some improvement is with their light show. I only say this because I do all the Intelligent lighting at the Ritz for the bigger DP parties. Programming your lighting into sequences that will match the mood and beat of the music can make a huge difference. Other than that they do a great job. As for the On Premise, there is a problem with that. As far as I know the only way to be an on premise club is to be a private BYOB establishment. BYOB clubs have to charge a higher cover, and membership fees to make up for what they do not get at the bar. This is not a big deal for lifestylers who want to party every weekend, but from what I have seen the trend is couples don't go out as often as they used to, and when they do they would rather do it at a moments notice and not have to worry about bringing bottles and supplies to a club. Lifestyle couples are not immune to this down economy. Everyone is looking for ways to save money, and for many this means sticking to house parties, instead of going out to bars. In case anyone is really serious about building a club. I know the owner of Temptation Lounge is trying to sell his domain and website ( which currently ranks #1 on google for "Houston swingers". It averages 400 - 700 Unique visitors per day. |
