ADS

[Guest091314]

As I was reading a previous thread about websites, most guys say that a providers ad will catch their attention faster.

Seeing as us ladies are very limited in what we can put/say in our ads, what is it that you are looking for now?

I like to keep mine very short, simple and sweet with lots of links, is this helpful?

What sticks out in an ad to you?

Alecia dont mean to highjack as the 1st post but your avatar is so beautiful ! My fav. one yet my love !

[Guest091314]

Thanks babe!

I assume from reading some of the current ads that there were recently changes to the ad policy. What are those changes?
As far as information on the ad, I want to know the specifics of any specials (even if it refers me to the showcase where prices can be mentioned) or anything out of the ordinary you are offering (a new incall location, new doubles partner, etc.).

Well we honestly do not know whats allowed and not allowed as of right now. Its very frustrating to us and I am sure you guys are frustrated as well.

Some ladies do not have a personal website (I am one) What do you guys think about an ad saying "hey I am available please see my website for information" with a link to the website and maybe some photos?

What do you think of the free escortsite pages? I have seen a few guys complain about them but I know it is easy for us to create and personalize. Some ladies may not be able to afford a professional website so would you skip to the next lady if she was using an escortsite webpage?

I am thinking of making another one, just because I think it would be easier for you guys to find all of the information all in one place.

Any suggestions?

These days, your showcase has damn near as much utility as some free website, and is less work to maintain. It's still subject to image policy on ECCIE, so websites still have some value in that regard.

Does a good website matter? Yes. Doesn't have to be super fancy or "pro" but it has to have the info in an easy to find, easy to read manner.

re: what you can/can't mention: the reason for all the problems with ads of late is people pushing the guidelines. Basically...no specific mention of sexual services. No acronyms. Don't try and be clever and slip in something just to push the boundary. THAT is what causes things to be all sticky and have everyone wondering. (Let alone the fact that most never read the damn rules...)

BUT...you can put ALL that, just ONE click away - either to your P411 profile, a website, or your handy ECCIE Showcase. Just because you can't say "I'm GFE" in your ad, doesn't mean you can't get that same thing just one click away.

Besides: what's "GFE" mean anyway? Why not tell me why visiting with you would be special, fun, and/or cool. (Just without saying how you will bang my brains out...)

Some guys do not have PA so they cannot see the rates or specials parts of our showcase, at least that is what I have been told recently.

Its not just things like gfe but other words that used to be allowed that now are not...

[pmdelites]

there are at least a couple of reasons why I look at ads.

1. just to look at them!!
so, a few nice and even suggestive photos titillate lil' delites.
if they are intriguing to me, then i'll look at the ad ...

2. to consider you for an upcoming consultation session.
in this case, as ca1962 said, i'd like to know a bit about you, anything new wrt offering specials or locations, who you are working with or NOT working with, etc.

3. to find out where/when one of my current consultants is going to be available, is offering specials, or something new that will make me draw up a project budget to go consult w/ her.

4. many more reasons for sure.


info like location, hours, and rates can go in your eccie showcase.
if a guy doesnt have Premium Access, he can either email/pm you, earn/buy PA, or just move on.


now, if you can afford a website [even a free one takes time to setup well], put even more info over there, include even more racy and/or sexy and/or explicit photos and/or videos.

and then put a link to your website in your signature [go to "User CP" (from left side of each eccie page), then "Edit Signature"] and in your showcase [there's gotta be a standard showcase field for it].

then, if a guy's too lazy to click a link and find more info, then, imo, he should just move on.


and if you have more time and feel creative, you could write something interesting, intriguing, or sexy in your ad [browse the other women's ads to get ideas].

in short, anything that sets you apart is good in my book.

oh, and btw, alecia, having met you a few times, you are set apart!! :^)
just saddened that i cant easily get over to ft worth to find out how far apart you are set. :^(

As a Hobbiest" here are the things that I look for in an ad. Something cute that gets my attention. A picture of you that lets me know what your figure looks like. A general location of where your office is located. Tell me about you. What are your dimensions? What is your weight? What is your age? (this one is important to me since I only see Ladies that are over 30 and I love the ones over 40.) Then give us links to your services and your rates in your showcase. There is even a space for specials in your showcase. They don't have to be everyday specials they can be Birthday Specials, or bring your Medicare card for a special. Specials can be extra time instead of a discount. Tell me everything that you would want to know about someone that you were going to schedule an appointment with. Show me your personality and your sense of humor.

First, Alecia ... that is truly a very sexy picture (avatar)! Wish she were available!

As far as Ads ... for me, less is more and more is less. Confusing? It is to me. I saw one today that simply intimated that we'd skip all of the proverbial BS in an Ad and lets get together ... to me, very refreshing to see that attitude. I would think that an Ad is a way to attract a potential customer, and then redirect him (or her) to your Showcase or website .... respect and trust are built after initial contact, and through the end of the consultation, and then through Reviews and interaction on the Board ... the Ad starts the whole process. Pictures are always worth more than words but, no matter what is decided, be honest and open ... if I question pictures, or the rhetoric seems fake or forced, I am on to the next Ad.

I'd be curious, from your position and asking of the guys, how many guys review Ads versus going through Threads, Showcases, P411 or Provider Websites first? That is, where is the traffic coming from, and going to initially?

Hopefully this was helpful, and not too over Marketing-ish.

Of course we know what we are doing Jules, you're very beautiful, smart and creative just stick with the basics and you will do fine. We all know we can no longer use activities or pricing in our ads.... but we can in our showcase where it says donations and then they even supplied us with a space for any specials we might be running..... Utilize the showcase as much as you possibly can...... I am also supplying you ladies with a link to a free website and use it as your alternative site for advertising... just supply a link in your ad... this way between your showcase and website you have a whole lot to share with these guys including rates and lots more pictures..

Ladies we don't need to say all the graphic shit to get these guys to come and see us..So keep your chins up and
keep posting..... we have a lot of men out here to make happy....

I showed you ladies my boring ad's and guess what, my phone still rings....

[Jules Jaguar]

Fawn I love your boring ads (wink wink) I will be sure to check out the website thing too... xoxoxoxo

[PODarkness]

In the Ad...
Photos, maybe a bit bigger than in the showcase, and change often.
Anything about the upcoming week that is different, like location, birthday, stockings and heels week, new doubles partner, how many days till steak and BJ day (it's a real holiday, to me anyway).

Two very important bits...
It is becoming obvious that (pre session), behavior / contact method / screening protocol / considered worthy of a hang up by one girl, is exactly what another girl expects and demands. Tell us yours?

Links
A link to a description your session type (menu)
A link to your rates and specials
A link to your photos, showcase and other, if any.

I'm not understanding why the ads are so restricted but the showcase isn't. I cant imagine there's a legal difference, but I'm not a provider, so it really doesn't matter if I don't understand, as long as someone does.
