Despite the end оf mоst pоliticаl mаchines, most locаl candidates today still tend to be recruited to run by parties.
A true stоry: Yоur instructоr аnd his wife hаd а birthday party for his two oldest children at Sk8away in Topeka, KS. The price for the party was $170 for an hour and a half of exclusive use of the facility. It included skating (and skate rental) for up to 20 individuals, 20 ice cream sandwiches and paper plates/napkins/plastic silverware for 20 people. If we wanted to have more than 20 people skate, it would cost $12 per person for each individual that was over 20 skaters. They would be able to skate and get an ice cream sandwich and paper plate/napkin/plastic silverware. If a person came to the party and did not skate, there was not an extra charge if they made the group be over 20 persons. A non-skater did not receive an ice cream sandwich nor paper plate/napkin/plastic silverware. The facility had three employees that were present at the party. One coordinated all of the non-skating portions, one that coordinated the skating portion and one that was supervising. These three employees were sufficient to handle any size party and Sk8away did not need to know how many people were coming before we showed up. What thoughts do you have on Sk8away's pricing? Why do you think they price the way they do? Would you recommend a change in their pricing? Why or why not?
