I've only been here for 2 days now but the offers they put we put on for Sheffield Hallam students are fantastic. We offer an RS card for a £1 which gives students great discounts on food on drink. For example students can have a big meal for only £2, last night we had drinks for just £1.00 and we have offers on everyday

 

 

Have you thought of just lowering your prices so everybody benefits rather than a group of people who are only here for six months of the year

unfortunately offers are all well and good but i wont venture into a pub that has two tier pricing. Offers should be for everyone or at least based on regular custom at the pub.

I do apologise if I upset or offended anyone. My comments were lighthearted and meant as a joke. Again I apologise if I upset anyone

Don't apologise Big Sam, you wouldn't want some of these Forum Muppets in your pub anyway. Good luck mate!

if you are polite and maybe give a subtle hint, i have found that most places with a discount card scheme will allow you the lower prices without the card.

[Sharp87]

seeing as you are getting some free advertising here, how about letting people have the offers if they mention the sheffield forum?

Hate the 2 tier pricing, being a local resident, it's rather annoying subsidising someone elses drinks.

I think I'll carry on walking my Dad into town for a pint and a scotch.

 

But congrats on stocking decent Ale and good luck in your venture:thumbsup:

Many places offer the same things at different prices. It's good business practice if you can get away with it. I bet if you asked a carriage full of people on a train how much they had paid for their seat, you'd get dozens of answers, for example.

 

Next time you are in a supermarket, look at the bottom of the shelves. That there is the same product as you have just picked up from a higher shelf, but at a lower price. Supermarkets know most people are too busy to look around for things and just get the item that is at eye level - but they also know that some people are more price sensitive and will look more, so the cheaper things are there for them too.

 

Look at it this way - the students buying the cheap beer means they get to use full barrels without wasting much - and if the barrels weren't being emptied, you'd end up paying for the wasted part, or the pub would lose money.

 

That said, if you're describing the scheme as a loyalty scheme it ought really to apply to all your loyal customers.
