I think it is a great idea. We spend A LOT of money and we do need to be thanked once and awhile.
And for the card why not use a subway card with your own mark on it. That way it doesn't look strange in my wallet.

A friend suggested something to me that I think is very interesting. He said that I should offer little cards like Starbucks. At first I thought that is silly but the more I thought about it the more sense it made.
I think that gents should be thanked for repeat business. If you add up the contribution over 10 dates..well I think it's worth saying thank you.
Maybe I could offer a free two girl date or a free evening of dinner and loving?
What do you all think? I also mentioned to him that no man wants to carry a,"free-love" card for his wife to find. I welcome your suggestions everyone![]()
Great idea about discounting regulars on some structured basis. My experience has been the opposite. My regular ladies find me tipping more heavily and more generous with gifts. Until now, I have never even thought about "one on the house" or some such appreciation.
Sounds like a plan. I'm thinking that you don't necessarily have to put your name, number, "free-love", etc. on it. Maybe come up a personal insignia and simple symbols that you can initial over with the 10th symbol representing the "free-love".

If it is something you want to do for a regular, then you should do it.
I myself don't expect anything other than a great time with the providers I see on a regular basis, because you've developed more of a connection by that time and I already know that other considerations may be given but unspoken, such as priority appointments over a non-regular, among other considerations
))
But it is really cool to get even the smallest of gifts or gestures when you don't expect it. I personally really like it when I get just a short note to say hello or how they are doing by e-mail. It also keeps them fresh in my memory and wanting to see them even more.
But we hobbyist should also not forget how much you, providers, also appreciate appropriate gestures.
Best wishes and take care,

Actually, it sounds like an erotic variation of a tried and true marketing technique. Sort of like buying 9 carwashes, and getting the tenth free. Develops customer loyalty, and nothing works better in advertising than saying something is "free".
Taylor,
I think it is a great idea. And, I am single...maybe my cat would complain if he found it....he doesn't get any.
-Hoot.
NOSC replied to a recent post (probably pn page 2 by now) about a CD as a token of appreciation. Three times now I have been given a CD by different ladies that I've seen often. These were burned CDs, all compilations vs something that could be purchased in a store. And actually, they're probably my 3 favorites..not only because they were gifts, but I love the music & they are unique. Quite naturally I think of the lady each time I play one. I think this is even the sort of gift that could easily be appropriate for a married guy & not raise questions from wifey. Of course the only caveat for something like this is that you know the guy well enough to have a handle on the type of music he likes.
I think just an extra half hour of lovin' to a regular once in awhile would be just fine. If you have enjoyed the session, just say "can you stick around for a bit and lets do it again" would light my fire!
it must be understood by the client that it is a special favor for appreciation, not something necessarily "spontaneous." I think we as clients are especially vulnerable to forgetting that it is, after all, a business.
Another incentive I've heard of for regulars is to have some sort of "monthly fee". Hobbiest pays $X per month, which lets him schedule Y hours in that month.
Usually it's worked out so that $X is cheaper than the normal rate for Y hours.
Still rewards regulars, and it's easier for the provider to keep track of it without a "free-love" card.
Great idea! However, as someone mentioned before, the card angle sounds like my local car wash. And this business is a bit more personal than a car wash.
What would get my juices flowing is if there were some way for the provider to keep track on her own and simply, out of the blue, invite the client over for an hour or so on her (double entendre on purpose!). The spontaniety would be a super turn-on for me. I know that there's a problem with providers keeping records that can be used to back-track to the client, but, I hope that someone, somewhere whould have an idea that could circumvent this problem.
It is a wonderful idea. Special something's for regular clients is something that I had been doing for my regulars also, but there is a catch. It has been my experience that some and let me reiterate some regulars that will try and take advantage of that fact too.
Since a bond is formed with regulars and we do consider them friends, when one does take advantage, the emotional turmoil can be more painful than any monetary losses or gains. It has one second guessing their judgment.
Just be careful with those specials. They can many times be misconstrued for something more.

This is not a new idea, many providers have been doing this for years. I'am a regular of several well known PSEs in the LA area and they frequently provide me gifts for my loyalty, I've been given boxes of chocolate, articles of clothing, I'am regularly taken out to lunch or dinner and the ladies pick up the tab and some times drive me in their car as I'am from out of town and don't know the area that well, I've been invited to holiday dinners in their home and to birthday parties. I've been a guest on porn sets, when the ladies are filming, they usually introduce me as their driver and they introduce me to everyone on the set. There are a lot of things you can do for regulars, but a spontaneous gift is preferable to a set incentive program.
Yes, of course.
It's called affinity marketing, and is considered a win-win situation across just about all industries.
My guess is that on that tenth visit as a freebie, you will get a generous tip from most guys, and another paid visit.
I just had the greatest card emailed to me. I was like a coffe punch card with my info on it.HA!!HAA!!. I'm going to use it.
Lauren I will keep what you said in mind. Now my next question is how many visits seem fair get the free treats?
a) 5
b) 8
c) 10

Anything higher then that is something that probably won't ever get used by most customers. 5 times gives people that would only see you once every month or so a chance to get a freebie in a year. Also, considering the avg. price for servious is $250 that would mean the cost would avg. out to $208 once the freebie is used. Most providers would reduce the cost anyway for regulars (much more then $42). I think one provider is giving free vacations after 6 or so visits in six months! So, getting a free visit after 5 times doesn't seem so bad. You could also do something else besides giving a free visit. How about after the 5th visit you give the customer something as a surprise - TV, expensive Wiskey (Blue Label), take them out to dinner, etc. and let the customer pick which one he wants. All the items mentioned are a lot less then $250 but show that the provider cares enough to give something back.
I think one should get a freebie on the 4th to 6th visit. Considering what most escorts charge a customer would have to spend over $2,500 before they get 1 freebie. Regular customers should be treated like gold - they're safe, usually respect the person they're seeing, and have a desire to see the same person repeatedly. To me that describes an "ideal" customer, which is much better then seeing a "different" person every session.
