Well apparently I'm not entitled to the free trial because I'm an existing advertiser. However I haven't even advertised with Viva for 18 months so.....I'd Like to know how the hell I am a current advertiser.

Well I wasn't offered a free trial today when a guy from Vivastreet contacted me.     In fact I was told for 30 days being featured would normally be ?435 but if I signed up today would cost just ?200.   ?200 pounds no thanks I'm advertised on 6 other advertisers and it doesn't cost me ?200.    The fact somebody is cold calling too (he said he found me on Saafe) trying to sell advertising space IMO means it can't be doing that good.

Too expensive.

Are you sure it was Vivastreet and not a slightly different website?The words used sound like a website directory who were in fact experienced scammers.

Just want to leave a little feedback on my recent experiences with viva street!
Not sure if I should name the person who dealt with me but ... I was really impressed!
Really quick response, a clear understanding of the nature of my advert and a great resolution to my problem!
If this was a review I'd be giving this service provider a 10/10

Well he said Vivastreet hun so I'm guessing it is them but maybe he was lying to try and sell me space.    Have any other ladies had anyone call proclaiming to be from Vivastreet?     I have his number, don't know whether to post it, not sure it comes under "warning".

Thinking about it he wasn't very professional either he made some derogatory remark about Welsh Escorts.

You could try googling the number.

Hi Everybody,

If you are ever in doubt about a call or email you can always contact myself Finny es@vivastreet.com

We do offer free trials to users who have never advertised with us before and we do have a support team that do outbound to clients to discuss advertising needs.

Likewise if you are unsure of a caller you can also call our main CS number and ask to be put through to the caller you were speaking with on 0203 695 8755.

We are aware of several emails doing the rounds and have posted about these and alerted our users. We do always report any phishing sites to the domain hosts and have a good success rate at getting these taken down. Calls could be a little more tricky but if you have the number (presuming its not withheld) please pass on the details and we can see what action if any we can take.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Is that marketing-speak for cold-calling?

Hi Fabulassie,

I'm no marketer ;D

At anytime we have around 5000 ads live on the site and we do call our users to see if we can offer them different packages or features. I guess that was my poor attempt at marketing speak for up-selling customers.

Likewise we have a huge database of people that have advertised with us in the past and we would like to bring them back to the site aka as reactivation :D

Thank you,

Ah! Upselling existing customers is totally fine by me. I thought you were talking about going through AW and cold-calling people. We get that a lot from various directories.

I agree the rates for an escort ad on Vivastreet are ridiculous and were even before the increase. When I was on there for 2 months I only got one genuine booking. That was for Central London. I was offered a half price ad and to be honest even half price is too much considering the lack of bookings I got. After I finished I received 3 cold calls trying to get me to re post an ad-this only stopped because I blocked the number. They made a spiel about how much traffic the website gets but honestly 99% are timewasters.

My advertising for Publication, VIP and Change of Location comes in at ?4 a day, which is cheaper than AW if I choose to use Local Escort Search/Available Today.

I would lose A LOT of business if I did not advertise here. YES, it depends on location but doesn't ALL advertising?

I rarely get TW's now but that's because my screening is VERY tight plus I specify (unlike AW) exactly how to book me and who I won't see. Also, I block all e mails so I have none of that nonsense.

I used to tour constantly and I've always used VS. Had I not advertised with them I would have lost out on a third of my business. There have been days when I've been touring that I would have had NO business had it not been for VS advertising.

Another choice I made, is to charge more for my services on VS as I have found this makes a difference to the quality of calls I get.

I don't however, advertise on any other directories as I have found them shit, frankly and had no business whatsoever whereas other ladies do well.

Interesting I have found exactly the opposite, the higher my prices are the worst is the volume of idiots and time wasters.

I would object to anyone not just Viva - who as Viva  are doing - are spamming previous customers with offers that are clearly not intended for them.  The free offer is only for those who have never advertised with them yet previous and existing customers are being targeted.

Clearly the idea is to entice previous customers this wat in the hope that they will then pay to re advertise.

I'm afraid for me it does the opposite and put me off completely especially when it has always bought  me so few customers. This is despite living in different areas of the UK.
