pub puzzle
Popular with a Variety of People
The pub quiz can be said to be a British institution with a massive number of people up and down the country taking part every week. This means that there are a massive variety of different people that participate. Young and old, those who take it seriously, right down to those who play just for fun. Many quizzes are played just for fun and there may simply be beer tokens available for the winner. Some have small cash prizes available whilst the more serious quizzes may have relatively large jackpots. It can be argued that the pub quiz is becoming a more difficult event to stage thanks to recent technological advances and this has meant that some landlords have banned the use of the mobile phone whilst the quiz is taking place. This is because people can simply call or text others for the answer who may be trawling the internet. Further to this, the advent of the mobile internet has made this situation even worse. This means that people could simply use a search engine such as Google and the answer would appear almost instantaneously. This was a far more preferable option than ‘phoning a friend’ who could not always be relied upon. |

Pub Quiz Adventures
At the heart of every good pub is a regular and well frequented pub quiz. A good pub quiz question can get people talking for hours, and more talking means more drinking in the law of the pub. With the price of beer becoming ever more extortionate thanks to heavy taxing and reduced public transport making it more difficult for people to get out and about effectively, the pub trade has taken a huge hit. While gastro pubs have found a means to get people in to eat rather than drink there are still alternative ways to bring in trade without resorting to turning your establishment into a “wanna-be restaurant”. The pub quiz is one of the most effective ways to bring in trade on the quieter nights within the week. It gives people a reason to come to the pub without having to drink for one, this means that even people who have work the next day will get involved. Where as other methods to bring people in, like showing the football is focused only on a small demographic, the pub quiz can be enjoyed by everyone, and as it is often a group activity, it can attract large number of people if successful. |

The advantages of a Pub Quiz
Drumming up trade in the mid weeks lulls of your pub can be quite a task. While the pub may make a reasonable amount of money during the weekends, it is the popularity of the place during the quieter times that turns a normal pub into a great pub. To bring in the customers during the working week has a number of difficulties with the paramount one being people not wanting to drink when they have work the next morning. One way to get around this is to stage events that are friendly towards people who prefer not to drink alcohol mid week. A fun quiz is the best way to achieve this as it engages the customer and puts more emphasis on activity than consuming alcohol. A pub quiz is often a team affair also, meaning that greater numbers of people will turn up to this which as consequence means better sales. This type of event can be done on a weekly basis attracting a regular trade and is a lot more consistent than alternatives such as showing sports on the big screen. |
