As a provider, I haven't been in the consumer's position in this market, so I can only speculate based on my experience as a customer of other businesses since the economy took a downturn. I would be interested to hear about what the gents have noticed.
As with most industries, poor economic conditions usually result in a buyer's market - the customer receives better treatment and an improved service, often for a better price. With so many businesses competing for the same customer base, it is particularly hard for scams to survive very long. When people have limited funds, they are usually more selective about how they spend them and may do more research before making an expensive purchase. This may cause businesses that are ordinarily borderline dodgy to clean up their act in an effort to compete.
On the other hand, as people in general become more desperate for money, the unscrupulous become more creative in their efforts to extract money from the vulnerable or gullable. It therefore seems probable that more scam artists looking to make a quick buck may crawl out of the woodwork, though they probably won't last very long.
The same rules as usual apply. Do your research, stick with providers who have good reviews and exercise some common sense. Discerning customers stand to benefit from the current market, while those who make themselves targets are probably more likely to be targeted.
Just curios about if during recession time, like this one, there is a tendency for an increase in bait & switch, for agencies incentives to post more fake ads, for indies to make fake ads, and so on...
So there is in time of economic crisis an incentive to play 'bluff' more than in normal economic period...or did you think that is 'business as usual'?
While I can't claim direct knowledge of the inner workings of agencies, or even other ladies, I would imagine that tendencies toward bait&switch verses authenticity has more to do with the business model and how one perceives client relations.
Anyone who posts "fake ads," whether it be misleading photos or a description/website feel that simply does not match with the lady's personality/approach simply cannot be thinking ahead toward maintained relations into the second, fifth, or fiftieth meeting. In my opinion, this simply does not make good business sense, especially in an economic time when people are more careful with their money.
A sucker may be born every minute, but not all of those suckers are in the hobby. It makes far more sense to create sustained positive relations with gentlemen who will very likely provide the lady/agency repeat business. Authenticity (photos, website, the whole shebang) is at the very foundation of those positive relations; once an encounter is soured, it is nearly impossible to sweeten it again.
Beyond this, with the joys of the internet, word does tend to get around quickly when a lady/agency pulls a bait&switch. Such information is going to hurt business in the best of times. I can only imagine what it does when there is far less money to sling around.
I have to agree with you Eve, I think that regardless of the economy we must all think long term. Any provider or agency who engages in unceuth practices is only setting themselves up for problems. It is always best to represent yourself accurately and honestly so that you attract the clients that fit you best and everyone is happy. I always do my absolute best to maintain the very best impression and be myself because I enjoy seeing the same gents over and over again as I progress in the biz. I believe it is the best when 2 people develop a great partnership built on mutual respect and trust. This industry is unique in that discretion is an absolute must and you really have to have a foundation of trust to build on to truly enjoy all aspects of it. Just my 2 cents. Xoxo, Savanah
... but i have noticed a marked increase in the number of new MILF's playing the game. I have to arttribute that as much to the state of the economy as anything else.
