I agree
I just copy and paste my adverts and do a new one each time

Megan_GFE · « **Reply #691 on:** 23 April 2016, 02:11:57 am »

Would anyone like to share their discount rate for the 30 day option?

I ended up paying ?65 for a month's advert with re-posting. That's a shed-load of money for a site that seems to produce more timewasters than all the others added together

Really not happy with the way things are going now on VS and I have been advertising with them for a while now. Probably not going to continue with them after this month is over unless a miracle happens

The discount rate from what I was told varies for the 30 day option. Mine was ?220. But had a lot of features.

just typed out my ad, only getting a 7 day option for ?38 for a week, far to expensive, as i don't work weekends either! i don't want to have to pay ?160 a month.
is there a 30 day option now?

Hi Louise,

We can offer you a 30 day package over the phone, if you would like to talk to someone about this please drop me an email with the best number and time to call you.

Thank you,

I completely agree!

I have been with VS for a year and pay ?120 for VIP and change of location. Every punter that booked me last week in Essex (bar 1) did a no show (and I'm talking a LOT). I got to the point where I took the calls, asked them to call back and even that didn't work.

In Heathrow the week before it was even more horrendous. If I hadn't been in this game a while, I would think someone somewhere was taking the piss.

I will not be renewing after the end of the month as it is draining even taking calls now!

I have no idea why there is a significantly higher number of TWs from this advertising site but if anyone has sussed it, please do share!

My theory is it's because Vivastreet have really good SEO so show up at the top of the results for "(town) escort" - so you'll get more people who've never done this before, and who don't know much about how they are expected to go about booking etc. rather than the more experienced clients who tend to use the more established sites like AW etc. Also the ads are much shorter than the usual AW profile so you can't really explain yourself as well as you can on AW.

Blonde Floozie · « **Reply #697 on:** 18 May 2016, 03:42:31 pm »

Very plausible.

You are correct about the SEO. When I type my name I come under 'Cheap Escort in (Anytown)'

Thanks, VS!!!!

I think it's more because VS isn't a punting site - it's a general classified site with a prossie section which means that lots of people who aren't punters are looking at it too when they originally went on to buy a new set of ladders or find a garage, or something. It's the online equivalent of a newspaper ad, and I can't be the only person who remembers what that was like

.

I got another one of the 'have a free VivaStreet ad for a week' emails today. And deleted it.

Hi Blonde Floozie,

I agree, that's not a good experience to have. As 'Just an Escort' mentioned, Vivastreet ranks high on Google and does attract a lot of visitors. It's a double edged sword and I wish we could filter the timewasters out (I really do) but unfortunately we cannot.

There are couple of things I'd like to suggest.
- Choose Vivaprotect. Some advertisers like it and some don't. This will mask your phone number and the caller has to pay a fee. This tends to discourage tw but it can also reduce the calls you get.
- Try choosing an upgrade that is not as prominent as VIP. This again will reduce the calls you get but it might have a positive impact on genuine callers.

I hope you have a better experience rest of the month as it'll be a shame if you decide to leave.

Regards,
The Vivastreet Team - Finny

So far this week (ignoring the usual hang ups and youngsters giggling) I have had a phone call for an outcall to Kirkbymoorside and Lytham St Annes. I am located in Berkshire!

Perhaps this can be a new fun game for us - what's the furthest place you have been expected to make an outcall to? The competition only open to girls silly enough to advertise on VS

Hi Megan_GFE

Thanks for posting in the thread. The way we make the site better is by listening to feedback. It seems odd for you to be getting requests from other regions. Maybe there is a problem with where your ad is appearing in the listings. If you send me your AD ID or email I?d be happy to look into it for you. You can email me at es@vivastreet.com.

Regards,
The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Megan_GFE · « **Reply #703 on:** 31 May 2016, 09:01:17 pm »

Finny

You might listen to feedback but I am convinced that nobody else in your organisation does.

My advert name is the same one I use in here

The location has always been dodgy. I had to use a Swindon one in the end to try and reduce the number of calls I was getting from Reading.

Also - I don't panic when my advert is about to expire and I am sick of getting emails telling me not to

Megan
