Steve5380 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 One seven has officially closed down on 25 Dec 2014.RIPBlue heaven will be taking over and re-renovate it. What you mean by "has officially closed down on 25 Dec 2014"??? Four days have passed since Christmas, and the one seven website is up and running like nothing has happened.Not in their main page, not under "announcements".... NOTHING!This remains of the website of Keybox that remained up and running months after they closed! Are no decent sauna owners in Singapore? Who would post a notice on their website even before they close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the correction. Although the 1-7 website does not say anything about a renovation. Maybe the old man forgot how to write?It would not be too bad if "Blue Heaven" would replace 1-7 though. It could bring some new blood to those old quarters.

I know the anti-gay law dates from colonial times. But what is unique to Singapore is that the government still hangs onto it while progressive nations have abolished it.

Guest Guest Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 went to one seven yesterday...was closed...hope they open soon after renovation...why would one want to renovate when one is making a loss? are they down-sizing to become another no-frill establishment like those in the Chinatown area? So is Blue Heaven taking over or just a rumour? or Blue Heaven doing the renovation? In that case, this would affect others business. I predict it would drop 20 to 30%. ppl are still keen to try because of 1. Newness 2. Convenience 3. Sentiment/Attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve5380 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Some people paid money and didn't even get fucked, so consider yourself lucky and got your money's worth. Move on lah. But the fact remains that it is a serious lack of honesty by the owner Sam to keep the one seven website up and running like nothing has happened. It even states under "Announcement" that "Yes, we are hiring!", and not one word about being closed or renovating or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GachiMuchi Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Based on my understanding about website management, unless Sam are very IT savvy, otherwise, I am sure he uses the services of some website guy to manage his website. My guess is that he did not engage someone to edit the website for quite some time. Just look at the One Seven website for partners. SportsmenAsia had ceased operation for some time and his website still published its formal address. The One Seven Facebook page had also Not been updated since 6th April 2014. Not updating the website does not mean the company "lack honesty", it just means that they website is not updated. You guys can always pick up the phone and call the no. to find out about their promotions, etc. IF they tell you verbally that they are open, but did not, then that would be dishonest. Otherwise many companies with website that is not updated would also be considered "dishonest"? Still, if you guys have issues with the company, you can always contact (email / facebook) the boss and find out on how you can get your $10 membership refund, if any. I am pretty sure the money for the membership is not refundable. Wait and see if the club re-open. If not, time to move on guys.

I am pretty sure the money for the membership is not refundable. Wait and see if the club re-open. If not, time to move on guys. Just my 2 centI am not an expert in website management myself, but I believe that the expertise is necessary to design the website. Once this is done, the website owner should have an easy way to modify certain fields of it like entering data on a spreadsheet. Like accessing the input for "announcements" and typing them in. An owner should be able to update his website because it is so important. I remember that the first sign of trouble in Absolute sauna years ago was their website freezing up for months. But then they were responsible at the end by announcing with anticipation their closing down. Even old Max of Queen Resort acted responsibly by putting his website "under construction" when he closed down. But the owner of Keybox was NOT, he left his website up for months after he closed. This may sound trivial for a local who can go to the saunas at any time and if they are closed, well, bad luck. But there is a group of visitors who like to frequent these places too, and it is useful to be able to trust the websites and plan ahead. For example, if you want to go to Bangkok when they have some hot events, you like to be able to know what they are and when they take place.

Guest Guest Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yup it is irresponsible for a sauna to not indicate on their website whether they are closed/renovating so people don't have to waste their time going down and finding the doors locked.

There is plenty of data about how a gay sauna can become successful, from the old Towel Club, the early years of Absolute, and now the popularity of Cruise Club. And there are plenty of examples of what not to do to remain successful. The formula is so short: offer maximum pleasure, pleasure, pleasure at the highest value, value, value.

Guest We have fun Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 There is a place for different segment of the market and the type of people and fun level customers want to get. I use to go OneSeven in its early days, then the prices of other spas were much cheaper (Towel Cub and Blue Heaven) therefore pull the younger and major part of the crowd there. So $27.50 One Seven charges make no sense. During the period of 2010 to 2013, I wanted to find good tops age between 30 to 45 , I started going back to Oneseven frequently on Fridays. From 2013 the crowd faded so I gave up. After Sep 2013 the period when I can only find less than 20 people in actively cruising in Oneseven. I am not a specialist in CROWD Business. But over the years I think I have read and discussed CROWD business with many to draw some good tips . WHAT is CROWD business? It is a business that the CROWD will pull in MORE CROWD, eg spa , discos, clubs, rock concerts, theme parties. This kind of business goes down the hill very quickly when the crowd fade away. We have witnessed many clubs goes from HERO to near ZERO. eg Boat Quay, Clark Quay, Mohd Sultan area. To OPERATORs of the future spas, I have this to say "WATCH your customers' option. Meaning look at competition/alternatives that can take away your crowd" even mobile apps are your competition. eg. those days of FORT ROAD and ANG SIANG HILL are history because there are many more options like spas and now apps. Old OneSeven didnt watch PRICE and MANAGED facility. Paying $23 to use broken place and not many cruisers, why would I waste my precious time and money. Visit Shogun and Tenmen they are good lessons to learn , Shogun going down hill because of poor maintenance. Once the crowd move to Tenmen they can cry the same lines as OneSeven. Shogun is too much club house concept and night sleeping station than sex & cruising, yes if they wanna their business model and offering to be such, and is happy and sustainable, it is their choice. Right now we are seeing Cruise Club in the pole position virtually monopolising their market segment after long years of drought. That attributed to the fact that Keybox and Absolute closed about the same time. I believe healthy competition keep standard up, though I prefer ONE BIG & GOOD for each SEGMENT to congregate the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve5380 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 should look into Thailand and Taipei and watch how they operate. Aniki / Chakran and Babylon....Professionally managed Bangkok is a good example. In addition to the ones you mention, Sauna Mania and now R3 Sauna attract big crowds by offering events like nude nights catered to the satisfaction of their customers. Another two saunas, Cruising and DejaVu do the same thing for mostly local guys since they are a little more remote, and they have been offering the same events for years.

It is a business that the CROWD will pull in MORE CROWD, eg spa , discos, clubs, rock concerts, theme parties. This kind of business goes down the hill very quickly when the crowd fade away. This is so true! The crowd is what makes a gay sauna. And it is an unstable equilibrium (positive feedback): a good crowd attracts more people and becomes bigger up to the capacity of the place. From there, it can only go downhill, but it does not need to. When the owner makes a mistake, like rising prices too high or disregarding upkeep of the facilities and the customers, the feedback reverses and it is very difficult to go up again. Owners have to be very careful and always strive to make their place better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
