Does this make you who saw her before feel cheapened?  
Like your date wasn't quality enough for her to offer you a deal?
Why should you pay full price if you passed screening and had a successful date?

 
Ok, maybe I am putting myself in the hobby shoes too literally but "new client deals" just rub me the wrong way.  

 

Any pet peeves in ads or promotions or specials or photos or whatever you see?
Maybe overly photoshopped images? Perhaps "reinventing" of self by posting under new alias?
Offers too many specials or discounts? Out of date photos? Webbed toes?  

Do tell!
It's too calm here, let's stir it up

I suspect that "new client" specials could cause some disharmony amongst regulars, unless there were some type of specials for them as well - like maybe additional time.

Regarding photos, my only pet peeve applies to providers using photos that are way too old or don't properly represent how they currently look. I can get past all the overly photoshopped or processed images because I've seen so many of those types of photos to know better.  

Webbed toes?? I'm not into feet but that would pique my curiousity! (lol)

This is a free market, just like any other business, owners can lower and raise prices for whatever reason, as they see fit.  

First is has she raised her donation since I became a "client"?  If I'm still at the old rate and she lowers it to what it was, no harm, no foul.  

Second, since I tend to repeat with the same small group of ladies, and they offer more time to a new client and don't extend that same privilege to me, then yes I would be disappointed.

Lastly, if they become so booked that my request to see them becomes a lesser priority, then chances are they will become less of a priority for me to want to see them.

well in answer to the OP, yeah, a new client special might rub me the wrong way if I was a regular, especially if she's never been generous with her time. It's like finding a Groupon for new clients only or that awesome deal on cable TV and internet service, but only for switching from that other company. Grrrrrrr.

Biggest pet peeve in ads is, of course, overly photoshopped pics combined with inaccurate TER profile. Come on ladies, there are enough guys that actually like a more curvy girl that you shouldn't be ashamed of your own figure. I know girls like pro shoots (even non-pro girls) for fun and to feel sexy, but don't go overboard on the touch-ups and mix in a few selfies.

Other than restricting to new clients, is there such thing as too many specials? LOL it reminds me of Macy's. They have a sale every week, but it's all good!

Some for Touring ladies: Please don't post an ad fishing for bookings if you're not even sure you are coming to town, and when you do post, give a guy a few days notice. I laugh at an ad that says you're arriving today, but you have a "strict screening" rule, etc... To me, the odds of you responding and then verifying and then finding a mutually convenient time are greater than winning the Lottery. I suggest if you're considering a tour, post a coming soon ad or drop a friendly hint (cuz ads aren't allowed) on the local board a week or two (or more) out. Also, be clear on your schedule, that is if you're arriving Monday, but can't check in to your hotel until 3pm, say your tour begins Monday evening.  

Sorry nothing controversial here. I'll let someone else bring up rates, being TOO vague about services, poor communication skills, discount for longer visits, and running an ad but not being ready to answer the deluge of responses, and why TJ services can't advertise on the SD board...

Goldie, as far as you in particular, I would love a "new client" special. Great marketing idea. Get me in, keep me forever.

I think any hobbyist on a budget enjoys specials, be they for new clients, returning friends, end of month deals, or rewards for completing certain challenges.  As long as a provider doesn't downgrade her services that have been described honestly and accurately in reviews then I dont have a problem.  What I dont like is when the hobbyist is faced with multiple rates across different websites, all seemingly current.  Rule # 1 particularly when seeing someone for the first time is never to mention the envelope and what is in it.  But when a provider gets careless or unfocused with multiple advertizements, hobbyists are left in a very ambiguous position when it comes to payment.

I think its been said pretty well.  I don't worry about what others have paid and only used what I see/read as a reference point.  What is agreed upon between the two parties is what's agreed upon.

As said by Jack Sparrow, ahem, sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow, "take what you can, give nothing back"

My biggest peeve though would be false advertising.  

When the photograph(s) used are not even representative of the person who's going to open the door.  We/I make much of my decision of who I see based on what I am going to see in that particular fantasy.  I understand the need/desire for anonymity but at the same time what is presented should be as close as possible to it is supposed to be representing.  

Also in the false advertising category would be gross misrepresentation of age.  I get that one might fudge it here or there, I don't seen the need but whatever.... However I had an experience a few years back where the provider, well known at that, advertised her self as someone, who was, at the very least 15 years younger than what she was.  I was expecting late 30's and she was clearly late 50's.  We had a great time but it's not what I thought I was walking in to.  I got a ton of flack for that review....

Those two things are exacerbated when reviewers don't call it like they see it.  I get we are all "into" different things and one's perception of beauty might be subjective and different than another, but shape, size and age are things that I think fall in to a more objective category.  And in reviews there is a clear difference between being objective and being malicious (although some people will be offended because of objectivity.)

Sometimes providers need a little mentoring or advice from their peers when they choose names.
I think Fia Love might have found that out at some point.

And then I just saw an ad by Bianca Rob

I have truly nothing against these ladies.  I'm sure you are delightful.  But FIA and ROB are probably not the best monikers if either you don't do that or are not one.
Just my two cents.

Franchesca Marchiano of LV has an unfortunate TER handle of Franchescam. I'm sure she's not, but that's what I read.

Misrepresentation of age and build. A provider clued me into what to look for if a lady is trying to hide a belly. And age I dont get. Some guys like older. Being off by 15 years is just lying.

I  had a well known provider apologize for her extra 15 pounds because her menopause drugs made her gain weight. Her ad said mid 30s. So right up front she admitted she was fat and much older than portrayed. Should have walked.

Same here. 6 bills is a good amount of coin to invest on a date. As much as I'd like to try, I've been spoiled by the sdag providers, who most always give better service than the 4,5, and 6 bills ladies. I'm sure that there's a few exceptions, but I have yet to be "blown away" by a 5,6 or 7 bills lady.  
But, Goldie is the lady that I'd save up for and schedule with if there was a new client special or end of Summer special and hopefully it would "blow me away" and make me become a regular or at least give me something to save for and look forward to.
So maybe you offer the special a few times a year and I'd bet that you would get some additional dates and then it's up to the providers to "wow" us and if you do, you have a repeat friend.

I don't give it a second thought. I either feel like my money was well spent, or not. What someone else get's charged after the fact is irrelevant. Beside financial situations can change. Maybe something came up and she needs an extra date or two. Either way not my business. Honestly I've never seen a "new client" discount. If anything I've been lucky enough to be grand fathered in at a lower rate when providers have raised their rates. This is pay for play though. I don't let it get personal.

If your a regular repeat client you get a discount. Plain and simple.  
Regular is defined as once a month.
after 3 sessions I dont get a discount or additional menu items I walk...her loss.
I dont put up with false advertisement, fake pics, or other bs...unless she rocks me.....lmfao.
yup, I am a all american, horney, fu#ker...dont over analyze this shit....

Or simply put: Bianca = rob

Unlikely, but as posted, poor choice of alias/name if it's contrary to what you offer/provide.  

Here is a link https://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=17599&boardID=95&page=1#1759

Plain and simple?
Sorry, just because you see someone on the regular does not mean the provider is obligated to offer a discount.

Regular is defined as once a month?
No way. That's quite a statement.  
I have one friend I only see once per year. We have a REGULAR date every year for the races. Only once per year. I consider him regular just as much as my super best friend R who I see 3-4 times per month.

After three sessions you EXPECT a discount or menu items she may not offer at all?
Wow how chauvinistic! And after the 9th visit the 10th is free, right?
Sorry, this isn't Subway where the 10th is complimentary. I don't know any providers who offer that or anything similar to that.

Over analyze? No need. You painted a perfect picture of the type of date you are.  
 

END OF MESSAGE

Fuck.... Thought he was on to something. Just as well... If I asked a provider if she had her own hole puncher, she'd probably hang up on me.  

Yes they are.
 

END OF MESSAGE

Well is any of this fact? Its all opinion.  Fact is I never said anyone is obligated.  I simply move on.  Glad I understand your position so I dont waste your or my time,...
