As you know there have been many girls who have been caught using multiple ads. Each ad has different pictures, E Mail, phone numbers, prices etc.

She seemed rather miffed that she didn't even get "dishonorable mention" when this subject came up yesterday.

...her main persona has well over a hundred sensational reviews although she does not advertise or participate on TER. Her current rate is 600. She also advertises on BP, or at least she used to, for 400 and also offers half hour sessions. She has a few reviews under the BP name and the scores reflect the price - lower. Funny. I don't consider it dishonest.

Like if you have a rate that's above market price for the area you are in and things are slow you could make another persona to offer a lower rate to get yourself through a slow period without affecting your business in the future.

One was BD/SM, and the other was GFE.

Triple dipping was being the third customer of the day with a BBFS girl.

I thought it was being the third guy with one lady at the same time . Arse, pussy and mouth.

NYC must be more honest than other areas if you only know of one. Over the years I've seen or known of at least 100 who do that.

IMO when a "lady" in  the biz offers the same services at two significantly different prices, it's deception. And I doubt the guys paying the higher prices would have warm and fuzzys if they knew others were getting the same deal at the lower prices.

You didn't answer the question. Marketing genius or dishonest?

I fully agree. Sometimes the deception is under the guise of FBSM+. A girl might offer full service at 600 under her fancy ad. For FBSM she might be 200 for a BJ Finish but upsell Full Service at 300. The guy who paid 600 for full service from her fancy ad pays twice as much.

I mean it's not like relabeling a bottle of cheap Merlot with a label off a bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild. I mean NO ONE would try such a crassly dishonest act, would they??? lol

marketed FBSM under one name and FS under another name.  The FBSM website would attract a more, let's say, "price-conscious" customer, so when they got massage customers and were satisfied they were legit and not LE, they would offer to "upgrade" them to FS.  Some ladies do this using the same identity.  

I don't accept your either/or, but I definitely don't think it's marketing genius. Marketing cleverness, maybe.  

In most of the cases I've seen they were offering the same service. The 'personas" were changed to go from high class hooker to mid-range hooker. IOW...same girl, same services just different packaging.

Why would it be dishonest? All a person is doing is offering a service in different markets, at different prices.
If you think you have been taken because you find out you paid the higher price, get over yourself. You clearly thought the price for the service was acceptable when you booked the service.

... I thought it was someone stealing her pictures so I emailed her as a heads up.  She was honest. She responded that it was another, cheaper persona. She did not want to taint her original brand. Another revenue stream sounds like a good idea to me.

So using TWO or THREE different names for the SAME girl offering the SAME service is an honest way to market your product or service?  

We've all heard of "hooker math" well convincing oneself that dishonest practices by hookers are NOT dishonest falls into the category of "Trick logic"

So is Gap Inc. dishonest?
Gap.
Banana Republic.
Old Navy.
Athleta.
INTERMIX. Resources.

The whole game is dishonest to it's core.

They do NOT sell the same EXACT merchandise under the same name. Hell, Nordstroms sells clothes that may be similar to cheaper stores but not EXACT.  

Marketing genius definitely...in the example I gave she's both protecting her business and getting herself through a slow time.  As for dishonest?  In the example I gave yes it's somewhat dishonest but understandable and ok in my book if not done too often.  I wouldn't blame her for doing that though I would caution her to spend her money more wisely in the future so she doesn't have to resort to lowering her rates under a different name.  It's got to be rough providing a service for a lower rate than what you are accustomed to.

same flight pay the same amount? No; it depends on where you sit [first class, business class, coach plus, coach, economy, etc. Among other factors are when you bought your ticket, did you buy it online or over phone, etc.

If you enjoyed the experience the marketing was perfectly legit.

No, it's not dishonest. Where is the dishonesty? Where are you being lied to? Are you being told that this is her lowest price?
I'm not saying that I like it. I just don't see  it to be a dishonest business model. Using car sales as an example. I can pay a way different price for the exact same car at a different dealer. It's up to me to find my best deal. Unless I'm being told that this is the lowest price in the market, I'm just not being lied to.

Do the girls have "different" dealers selling them? Perhaps some have more than one pimp.

If someone tells you they'll give you 20 quid to jump as high as you can you're going to put forth less effort than if they said 100 quid, or 1000 quid.

Just because I can understand why someone would do it doesn't mean I would do it myself, it just means I have empathy.  The world isn't black and white you know.

You have too much time on your hands.

funny but sadly true!

...her name was Eve.

Two objections:

She was honest about being dishonest, you mean. When she says she doesn't want to taint her brand, I understand what she means, and I sympathize. But that involves tricking some of her customers into paying more than they have to, which they might not appreciate. But hey, what they don't know won't hurt  'em, right?

By packaging I meant the marketing and advertising.

I have plenty of time on my hands...because I can work less in a week than most people do in a day and still pay bills and have extra money to save and spend on fun.  Those who don't have plenty of free time on their hands and don't have another source of income or going to school aren't doing it right.

You did not argue with me so you changed the topic.  And you sucked me in to 20 minutes of arguing with the rest of your response.  But I'll save that for another day.  Instead, I will take a look at the two examples you cite and see if they deserve to be considered dishonest.

I don't book massages so I would not know how they act when you book a massage.  

Does breaking the law make one labeled a criminal?
