Charbit knows the Parisian nightlife industry like the back of his hand. He anticipates the needs of party goers, and offers them their desires. From freak shows to talented artists on stage, he throws parties of lifetime. Any business, no matter big or small, depends on the customer’ needs. Anticipating it beforehand gives you the edge. That way you stay ahead of the curve. 

Re-Invent.

Industries get saturated, similar ideas take over all businesses and then customers don’t see a point in buying it anymore. But reinventing prevents market saturation. Charbit knows many ways to re-invent his clubs. When he first opened Monsieur Cirque, it was a disco pub, later it became a party hotspot for wild party goers. Then he started organizing Neverland, a treat for party goers, but a little more exclusive. Rebranding your business from time to time is necessary. It allows you to stay in the game.
