An Outdated Sales Technique

Have you ever gone to a strip club where they bundle merchandise with lap dances? For example, if you buy two lap dances, you also get a t-shirt thrown in for free or free admission passes or a shot glass or some other free thing.
I have noticed many dancers try to hide in the locker room or washroom when these specials get called. They don't want to peddle merch to every guy, and it must be kind of insulting that they need a gimmick because their body is not good enough at regular price. Customers who do the blue light special dances discard the shirts and other merch from what I've seen. They have wives and girlfriends they need to go home to, plus wearing a Deja Vu t-shirt in public labels you as a creep.
So if the dancers and customers do not care for this sales technique, why do clubs still do it? Why not just take the $5 they spent to print up the merch and knock dance prices down $5?

I don't see the point either - I assume there may be a minority of PLs in the club that would want the free thsirt or hat but they're probably a minority - I assume almost all PLs would do a dance-special w/o the gimmicks; and most probably don't want those gimmicks.
i think the idea behind this is simply to advertise as much/any way possible
In that case it has some value - but there are still many PLs that don't want to be carrying around something that says "hey I"m a strip-club junky"
Give a third lap dance for free cheap bastards
"must be kind of insulting that they need a gimmick because their body is not good enough at regular price"
A club I frequent does random 2-for-1 dance specials. More and more I've noticed the better dancers disappearing during the specials... started to realize they don't want to give discounts.
I always thought the t-shirts were dumb. Aside from one tow truck driver, I never saw a guy wearing a "Foxy Lady" t-shirt. But I suspect that a few were found by angry wives in back seats on occasion.
I also have one from Follies for just being a regular. I didn't have to buy anything. I took it to one of those places that will put anything on a t-shirt for you. So my follies t-shirt now reads "Vagina Inspector" . :)
I worked at a club last night (Saturday night) when beforehand I had only worked there on weeknights. And apparently on the weekends they do the $30 two dances with a t-shirt or hat three times a night. Discount gimmick is on the prime weekend wth? 🤨 It gets plenty busy enough without it and I actually had to quit dancing for somebody because the manager told us to get out of the lap dance area. Save the souvenir offers for the bottle service customers ugh
I do work at a club in NC where they do golf towels, which is a not terrible idea. Also at this club, if you did dances for the special and the customer didn’t want the shirt, you could turn them in for free house fee once you had 10. That was cool to me too but not as cool having ten xl tshirts in my locker.
I have one of the shirts laying in the trunk of my vehicle. XL is too big on me. I think I am going to cut it in half to be cum rags when I bang one of their dancers OTC. We can both use the shirt to wipe our cum and sweat.
xl... safe average.
