My cell has been acting up lately and I have had some people e-mail me that they could not get through...if you cannot contact via my cel 858-344-5306 then please call my other number 858-569-6344 or e-mail me. I will be offering $100 off for those that mention the valentines week special. I am doing this in hopes of meeting some great new people as I am going to have a regular incall starting in april but will only be offering it to those I have already seen. I will be offering massage rates and discounts for lunch appt's (40minutes) and repeat or pre-paid daytime visits.

Don't miss this chance to meet me

I read this type of post on TER's DB's all over the country.  Based on my experience taking advantage of "specials", when providers consistently offers specials rates for whatever reason, they might be better off thinking in terms of whether services offered are worth posted donation rates.  As a longtime hobbyist all over the world, I see  substandard providers offering the most "specials".   Even keeping the special rates in mind, the sessions are rarely worth while... but YMMV. Feedback from fellow hobbyists re providers who are consistent, specials or not, would appreciated.

Since you've requested feed back, I will step forward and say that she is definately a fantastic lady. For what it's worth, as you are skeptical, she is not a person who in anyway would let another down and maintains the highest standards I've ever experienced. She is extremely well reviewed and deserves those reviews. Yes, of course, she does not need others to promote her but, then you asked and I have the knowledge and experience. good luck in your quest.

I'm sure all the ladies who have advertised specials recently can defend themselves, especially Ginger, but I'm not sure they will bother.

With the Superbowl that we just passed there were over 50 visiting providers in town in the weeks around this event.  I'm sure that I'm not the only guy in town who enjoys the opportunity to see a lady that has never been available locally.  That combined with the fact that there were a lot of ladies busted recently has probably killed the local providers business in recent weeks (I haven't talked to any of them but all of the above factors are there for all to see).

I have also been in the "hobby" for a long time and spend a majority of my life traveling in my business.  Even though one local lady keeps an eye on this, I admit I have seen ladies in many locations as well.  Both Ginger and Ashlee provide some of the best physical experiences I have ever had.  Honestly, I don't see either of them that much but that's just because I'm a variety type of guy not because I don't hold them in high regard.  

I have never seen a correlation with performance/service in regard to any specials being run.  Luckily, I am usually on the good side of YMMV. Then again, I think YMMV depends as much on the guy's attititude as much as the ladie's attitude.

Whoa, honey! Put the brakes on!
I don't know who you're talking about but you're not talking about OUR Ginger! She rocks, and takes care..
And, even if you could possibly be a disgruntled, unhappy client, take it up with her in private - the Lady deserves it!
San Diego's a tough crowd - it's a tough, tough town to live in and survive in. (Matter of fact, I posted a thing on the National Board which hasn't shown yet about SD) Do you realize how much this terrible economy, not to mention the CA budget, and then SD, of ALL places,which is one of the worst has affected the Hobby? Think of all the lay offs and cut backs (such as myself, I might add) people are experiencing. It's hitting hard. These girls offer specials at times when they can LEAST afford to - and you stand to GAIN, my friend!
So, take the higher road of thinking maybe and put yourself in someone else's shoes..or maybe not..you couldn't fill them!

Tough love,
Sedona

I think things are different all over the country.  In San Diego it is common for some of our top rated girls to give specials.  I don't know why but I am sure thankful for it.  Ginger, Jenni, and Ashley are some of the highest rated providers on TER (Jenni being one of my ATF).  Hell, I'd buy the Sunday paper if I thought there were provider coupons inside.

I do not know why Whatdit decided to specifically question Ginger's service quality if he travels all around the world. However, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed by Mike1010. Ginger is one of San Diego's finest ladies. She is fun-loving person who takes special care to ensure her friends consistently have a memorable experience. However, do not take my word alone. Her recent performance scores are mostly "8"'s which suggests she is placing smiles on a lot of faces throughout San Diego. And her willingness to offer special rates during these tough economic times (while continuing to provide the same high quality service) is just more evidence of the considerate lady she is!

I don't think you can draw a correlation between specials and quality of service.

Kmart has specials and so does Nordstroms. Kia has specials but so does Mercedes.

The post Christmas pre tax time is usually slow in retail and service businesses and this year the "war" potential has negatively impacted business even further.

Offering a limited special just may help move people that were thinking of a purchase to action sooner. It rarely causes business to appear where there wasn't any.

If there's a lady you wouldn't visit at all will you see her now that she offers a special?  I doubt it. But if you were considering her then perhaps it'll get you off the fence.

Nordstroms to 7-11 they all have specials.
 
I visted Rebeccatjtj on her Mon Tues Weds special - a wonderful girl.  Also, enjoyed my time with Nicole of tijuana - she emailed me with her special.  MistressM was quickly booked when she had her holiday special.  All three are great providers at a reasonable price.

I just posted a similar analogy Nordstrom to 7-11.  Funny how great minds think alike - I think???  {:^)

I may not be a long time hobbyist, but in my experience, there does not appear to be a correlation between a provider's special and quality of service.  Maybe I've been lucky, but the providers mentioned in this thread, especially Ginger, have all provided me with very enjoyable and satisfying times, with or without specials.

The reality is that times are tough right now, both for providers and hobbyists (myself included).  I envy those who have ample disposable income to indulge themselves continuously in this hobby, but a lot of us can't do that.  Specials from providers allow us to be able to enjoy time with them when we would otherwise not be able to without the specials.

Thanks for the feedback.  As I said YMMV. Ginger wasn't the target here, just all providers who post specials regularly.

But nothing in any of these responses address the "specials" issue I was trying to bring up.  Maybe that's my fault for not being clear...
My take on the feedback is that many top rated, well-reviewed, busy providers are posting specials just for the heck of it, even though they're already fully booked, and that the only reason for offering specials is that they want to "meet new people."  If this is truly the case, so be it.  But with the current economic situation as mentioned in feedback, why wouldn't providers consider lowering their rates permanently to what the market will bear, a rate that will bring in more appointments.  I question the provider "hardship" issue also.  If a provider charges $300/per hour incall and has 3 appointments /day and works 5 days a week... do the math.  That's not my idea of hardship.  If she's not getting 3 appointments /day at that rate, maybe she should go through the "hardship" of changing her rate to $250/hr... again, do the math.

I could not have said it better BKMan. And if I may, thank you Ginger and all the other ladies who have offered specials.

Thank you for setting us straight. As you can see, many were concerned. As a remedy, in the future, you might consider opening your own post regarding an issue rather that responding/tacking it on as a thread to another's in order to avoid any misunderstanding. Also, since none of us were able to address your issue, Well, what's to be said, to each his own and you have you opinions as we have ours.

Then you would be surprised to hear. Many providers do no more than two appointments per day and do not see clients five days a week due to wear'n tear/physical up-keep. A number have other lives outside the hobby that they have to keep up which can also limit the number of clients, number of days and the number of receivables. Then there is the old "cost of doing business" factor which many of us never give a second thought. Your argument has some merit but does not take into concideration any other variables for your math model or "do the math" as you put it. I might agree with your argument if all factors were included and there was no probable deviation from the scope of your math model.

I concur Won...couldn't have said it better myself. i am a well reviewed rovider...I have also been around for a while. I am not as busy as I would like to be with the eole I would like to see. I could book at least one appointment every day if I wanted to. I do not work at this every day. When I do I like to see verifiable people with good personalities that i think I will enjoy. Inthe words of the esteemed Lionel Richie " I am not happy when I try to fake it". I also know having paid attention that from one week to the next business goes up and down...not one quarter to the next. $300 is a good rate...in fact less than several places with a much lower cost of living. I also have to consider the fact that I have other skills that are marketable enough to view that as the high end acceptable minimum for the time I provide. If the average rate falls too low the providers that are inteligent, educated and provide the best time to you guys will seek other means of employment. There are huge downsides to our profession. Most of them due to societies views on the matter. To make that sacrifice worth it a certain basic standard of living must be available for the effort...or else why would we? Companionship and erotic situations we can have without going pro....

My ATF sees at least 3 clients 5 days per week.    The majority of her 3+ appointments/day are regular clients.
I've known this excellent provider since she got into the busines 6 months ago and have no reason to doubt her, especially when I see how tough it is to cancel/reschedule our weekly appointment.  Providers, any input??

And I just do massage. Can't imagine how draining it must be to offer f/s to 15 different guys EVERY week. I guess some can do it but not me. I think 3-5 per week is plenty, then again I have other obligations and only do this part time.

Fifteen guys a week. Yeah right! I feel your response to be more realistic. You know what? There may just be a Grand Prize Promotional Opportunity in all this which may settle the issue that you just can't wear it out.
