German Brothels Mimic All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant Deals

— August 15, 2009 — Naughty
What’s a German brothel owner to do when trade has fallen by around 30% due to the economic downturn? Take a leaf out of the restaurant industry's book and introduce a promotion which gives a whole new meaning to the all-you-can-eat concept.

Recession-hit German brothels have introduced a “flat-rate sex” promotion which gives clients the opportunity to sleep with as many prostitutes as they like for a single flat-rate fee as low as £60.

Politicians have criticized the controversial deals, with Heribert Rech, the Baden-Württemberg interior minister describing them as "an outrageous violation of human dignity."
Trend Themes
1. Flat-rate Sex - The trend of brothels offering all-you-can-have sexual experiences for a flat-rate fee presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the adult entertainment industry.
2. Recession Adaptation - The adoption of promotional deals by German brothels in response to the economic downturn creates disruptive innovation opportunities for the sex industry.
3. Controversial Promotions - The emergence of controversial deals in the prostitution sector opens up disruptive innovation opportunities to redefine the business model and public perception of the industry.
Industry Implications
1. Adult Entertainment - The adult entertainment industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by implementing the flat-rate sex promotion to attract new clientele and increase revenue.
2. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can learn from the recession adaptation strategies of German brothels and create unique promotional deals to drive customer engagement and boost sales.
3. Public Relations - The public relations industry can contribute to the controversial promotions in the prostitution sector by providing innovative solutions to manage the reputational risks associated with such deals.
