Piranha Promotion

Last night me and my friend were asked to do a promotion night in The Field Bar, Kilkenny. We were asked to promote the drink Piranha, I was delighted when I heard this because I'm a big fan of this drink and I also love doing promotional events. The Field is a pretty small pub in Kilkenny and we weren't sure what to expect but when we got there it was packed with people of all ages, there was live entertainment and a great buzz in the place. We were given outfits which consisted of a blue and black body-con dress, belts to hold the drinks and a pouch for our money and also a sash to hold the shot glasses in. You never know what you have to wear till you get there so luckily enough this wasn't too much of a shock! I done a promotional event for Centra once and I had to dress up as one of the Centra family with a big bobble head and massive shoes, it was hilarious! We were also given free merchandise for the customers when they bought a drink, piranha t-shirts and Santa hats! We got to work straight away selling shots of piranha for €2 and even though there was already free shots been given at the bar a lot of people still bought the shots of us which was good news for us because we were promoting the brand and making profit for the bar. I think these promotional nights are a brilliant way of promoting brands and making them more well known, it is also a great way of socialising and interacting with different people and it's a very easy job to do!

I got into this job through a friend of mine who was doing it for a good while, so if you know anyone and you are interested in doing it just get them to have your name mentioned, they are always looking for people because there is promotions going on all the time, not just in bars. Also keep an eye on the jobs.ie website as they do be advertising it under the merchandising section. 

Until next time,
