Quiz for Free - Do YOU run a Quiz?

If not maybe you should. Here's why:

Let's say you're a pub owner or manager. Maybe you are the secretary of a social club. Or it could be a sports club; a family history society, or you raise money for charity.

That list is not exhaustive but each and every one (and others) will be aware that hanging on to their customers; members and subscribers is not as easy as it used to be. The reason is simple! We don't have as much spare money these day's as a few years ago.

So what can we do about it?

Well put simply you have to work more hours or tighten your belt.

There is an alternative! Run a regular quiz. Running a quiz at your pub or club or other venue will help to provide entertainment for your visitors and members which will not cost them a small fortune. And they will come back time and again.

It will not cost the organizers very much to set it up and you WILL save a small fortune compared to the cost of professional entertainment.

Now if you do run your own quiz or are considering doing so you'll find lots of FREE questions and information on this site. Just grab what you need at NO COST!

Also, if you have a website (pub, club or quiz related) and would like a link to it from here, just let me know. Only family friendly sites please.

And if you could link to this site that would be great!
