Most clubs think they need to post more, spend more, or try the latest marketing trend.

But after analysing hundreds of club campaigns, I've discovered the real issue: you're treating your club like a restaurant when you should be treating it like a community hub.

Your members and locals don't just want cheap drinks and pokies. They want to belong somewhere. They want experiences that make them feel part of something bigger.

The Three Marketing Mistakes I See Every Week

1. Generic Content That Could Be Any Club
Walking past your socials, I shouldn't be able to guess which club it is. Your content should scream YOUR personality, YOUR community, YOUR unique vibe.

2. Promotion Without Connection
"Steak night Tuesday $15" isn't marketing - it's a menu item. Marketing tells people WHY they should choose your Tuesday over staying home with Netflix.

3. Inconsistent Messaging Across Platforms
Your Facebook says one thing, your website says another, and your in-house screens are showing last month's specials. Mixed messages kill trust.
