Shortage of new clients ?
« on: 30 May 2022, 04:01:52 pm »
Hi everyone,

Do you think a shortage of new clients is a real thing if you stay and work from one area only ? (I'm in West Central London)

What I mean by that is in my case for example, it's been a while now that I've been getting the same people messaging over and over again everyday (I get my regulars, but also always the exact same timewasters that I've already blacklisted or people I ignore because I don't want to see them for some reasons and who keep texting me pretty much everytime I'm available). In the end, I only get a very few new clients who are actually willing to book me.

It's been going like that in circles for a few months now and that's why I was wondering if you feel the same way, and is it possible that there is simply a shortage of new clients (like no new clients around) if you've been working within the same area for a while ?

Same has happened to me. I have gone from 3-4 clients a day, to 1 if I am lucky. I am actually getting worried about bills. This started 3 months ago.

Hi.

Yes i find this happening. I now tour, but when I am at home I find it’s quiet and not alot a new clients around apart from regulars.
I think there’s that many escorts in areas now so much choice
It’s worrying as I can’t keep touring for long I need to stay at home due to other reasons
Everyday it’s same people messaging me I don’t seem to get a huge enquires of new clients anymore

I think you have to keep re-inventing yourself, fresh services, new style, new ads.
I juggle things round every so often.
London is rammed to the gills with competition.

Yes, I guess it's different for those who tour as changing area regularly automatically brings you a lot more traffic since scarcity (staying only 2 or 3 days in one place) attracts clients

yes I've been doing so but doesn't seem to make much difference to be honest (even drastically dropped my prices and it only attracted more TWs).

If you're fairly new-ish to the scene, maybe the 'new girl on the block' effect has worn off a bit'?
Clients like to try new flavours.

When I say re-invent I mean-everything. New name, 'twist' the location a bit, leave the old 'you' behind..not just swapping a few words around. Don't know if you tried that. :)

I change my pics monthly and find that I always have new clients booking me. When I don’t change my pics I find I get less enquiries as time goes on.

I'm never sure whether re-invention (especially constant) works versus just allowing for the fact that there is a churn in clients, and new ones are always being created. Like McDonald's and Coca-Cola play with/tweak their offerings all the time, but most people will always buy e.g. a Big Mac and a Diet Coke. Clients will always flit between escorts, but it would surely be exhausting to always try to keep up?

Like I say, I don't know, but just a thought.

I always feel like London is 'be all & end all' for some escorts, they flock to the big city in the hope it will be full of wealthy clients & endless champagne dinners etc when in reality it's usually not the case at all & 100+ other girls have had exactly the same idea!

Maybe venturing out of the city might help, it also gives you a little breather plus it might give the ones who keep looking at your profile the push to actually book because you are not as 'available' as you once were

I think changing things up on a profile is always good as well - adding Blogs, additional services, updating pictures regularly can't do any harm

I've worked in London for almost fifteen years, starting with regular visits and now full time after getting my flat a couple of years ago.

I've never known anybody think it's the 'be all and end all' prossie-wise, but it is the only place I've ever worked where I get consistently good business and the punters I want (with the odd exception; I had a lousy one just tonight and I count that as my quota for at least three or four months ;D). There are over nine million people here, so of course there are lots of wealthy punters and lots of poorer ones too - there are just lots (I've zero interest in dinner dates, but I'm sure others do fine off them).

I've never had to change my work identity or dump all my pictures to get work and like Kay I'm not convinced it does any good, but I'm in a very busy part of town and that definitely helps; I remember you were out in West London before Ana - did you find somewhere more central? Where are you advertising apart from AW; the tourists are appearing in droves over my way too, and I've had bookings the last couple of weeks from P411, Massage Republic and London Escort Guide, among others? It was like the United Nations here last Wednesday and I don't think a single one came from AW.

Definitely refreshing pictures and blogs is helpful - I need to take my own advice on the latter  :-\ :D

Thanks all for your advices !

Yes indeed, I do try to swap my profile pictures monthly and try my best to add new pictures but I agree that changing name and identity might be a bit over the top, especially since I haven't been escorting for very long (I mean it's true it might make a difference in the first couple of weeks but then very soon after the "attractiveness of the new" might disappear as fast as it came).

I think it's probably better to "build" an identity and a brand over time rather than changing identity regularly ? (unless there is a complete change of area/city).
What do you all think about this ? And I've always wondered as well, girls who change identity, even if you renew everything (pictures, name, etc.), if you stay in the fairly same area, you must get plenty of people you've seen before thinking they are gonna see someone new and then ""surprise"" when they arrive at your door (especially if they didn't plan to come back). Must be a little awkward.
To those who've change identity, have you ever faced that problem ?

And yes London is a very competitive city so quite hard to stand out from the crowd sometimes !

Amy, yes I'm in the West part of London but still very Central (West Central London) and I work from a very popular area for WGs (also probably the busiest area of West Central London in terms of liveliness). Quite complicated for me now to change area though since I've just started a new tenancy contract  :(
Concerning the profiles where I advertise, AW currently brings me all my business, I've tried to advertise on a few other websites for a couple of months but none of them brought me any actual bookings (just more time wasters), hence I decided to delete my profile on these as it was pointless.

I wanted to advertise on London Escort guide but it seems that a personal website is required (unless they accept AW links maybe ?). Good idea Massage Republic, never thought about it but I know it's quite popular and about P411, I think you need to get a review/reference to be approved, no ?

I have changed my name 3 times over the passed 12 years I have been on AW (When I took a break I changed names from Scarlett to Steph - Personally I felt Scarlett was who I was when I was younger,  not who I am now)
I had a few guys ask me if I used to be Scarlett from X or X when I changed my name but it was never overly awkward, however this was after a few months break from everything SW related so I had a brand new profile & started from the very beginning again

I would definitely stick with building the brand you have!

Ana - you can’t use a link to your AW profile to the sites you mention because AW is an advertising platform (and not your own personal website). I think Massage Republic is a great suggestion, you don’t need a website for it either.

Instead of chopping and changing how you present yourself online, look at it as a constant work in process of you building and defining your brand. Any changes are all about honing your profile rather than reinvention. Personally, or at least in my experience, men like stability, but at the same times, tweaking one’s web presence is about keeping them intrigued and interested - I am sure many have you hot-listed and have yet to indulge, as well as those who have yet to find you.

One thing I will suggest that if you use words like ‘perfect’ as in you offer the perfect GFE, maybe don’t, because everyone’s idea of perfection is different. Additionally, you’re just setting an impossible standard for yourself, and also for potential clients as it suggests that maybe your GFE (or what ever services you offer) are rehearsed and not so personal after all. Remember, it is all about exceeding expectations rather than trying to live up to them.
