Dear Edenists:
It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Eden is going exclusive as of November 5, 2009 to respond to the needs of our growing member base.
Since grand re-opening in February, 2009, we have seen a significant shift in the demographic of our core clientele. For the most part, Eden
now tends to attract a crowd of attractive, young, urban couples
looking to fulfill their inner most fantasies in a nightclub style
setting.
The upside is that Eden
has successfully introduced literally 1000s of new couples to the scene
and has created an entirely new market of sexually adventurous
individuals here in Vancouver. But on occasion, Eden
still sees a 10% influx of the more mature, traditional swinging
demographic at the club primarily due to the fact that a party falls on
a night that fits the schedule.
The
downside is that for the most part, having these two crowds mingling in
the same sexy environment is like mixing oil and water together. In
most cases, the more mature or traditional swinging couple attends the
event, dislikes the vibe, hates the music, is often shunned by the new
nightclub style crowd and never returns to Eden again.
On
the flipside, the newly transitioning nightclub couple looking for a
sexy adventure looks over and sees a couple that inherently reminds
them of their parents and they along with 10 others never return to Eden, or the Lifestyle scene again.
We
have seen this story repeat itself 100s of times since opening our
doors in May, 2006 and we have received countless comments in our
surveys and via word of mouth. And, although we
feel that all of our members are amazing and attractive in their own
right, losing so many new couples due to crowd is just not sustainable
long term.
As a result, Eden will be switching to an application based process as of November 5, 2009. This process will ensure that Eden
attracts a sexually adventurous, nightclub style crowd guaranteed on
every visit and will enable our attendees to blend more seamlessly
resulting in a much higher return ratio. Our
application based process has been set up based on a points system so
that we are able to capture any exceptions and not simply exclude based
on any one factor.
At
the same time, we will continue to feature a blended environment at
Allure for all of our sexy members who are ready to transition into a
more intimate house party environment.
To facilitate this new process, Eden is taking the following steps:
-
All new members will be required to complete the application form which can be approved within 24-48 hours. The application can be reached through the “join now” page on the website.
Just be sure to enter your existing email addy in the email field to
ensure your application is attached to your existing profile. No fee will be charged to re-apply.
-
All members where we had enough information
on file (or knew you well enough) to make a decision regarding your
membership will be receiving a welcome back email and will simply be
able to login as usual.
-
All members where we didn’t have enough information on file to make a decision regarding your membership are asked to please re-apply at your earliest convenience so that you can continue attending parties without interruption.
-
All
memberships that are not approved under the new application based
process will be receiving a $50 gift certificate and complimentary one
year membership to Allure (on top of any time you currently have
remaining) as thanks for your support.
-
Please be sure to add
[email protected]
and
[email protected]
into your email address book to ensure that you receive all updates regarding these important changes to your membership.
-
For
administrative purposes, Club Eden Social Club has been renamed to Club
Allure Social Club and Eden Memberships approved under the new
application based process will fall under Eden Millennium Club.
We sincerely thank all of our amazing members for their understanding of this decision to ensure long term sustainability. With your support, we are excited about providing our members with two amazing clubs that meet the robust needs of Vancouver’s growing Lifestyle Population.
Sincerely,
Adam & Eve
