I prefer advance bookings and find I get an equal proportion of same day to advance notice bookings from new clients. Many men need to plan their time away, others are more spur of the moment. New clients in particular I prefer advance bookings from especially outcall so I can go through my security and screening procedures. Some ladies prefer last minute bookings, they generally don't work for me and many of my clients book days, weeks and sometimes months in advance.

Thanks for the feedback Strawberry, there does seem to be a lot of variation - but it good to understand how you work and especially treat potential new clients.

I have stated 24 hours notice in my ad.

You still somehow have a village name in my ad details, although you have added the town name to the database of locations.

Ok so I have just put up my advert


Put  in website  link and also some topless photos as apparently we can now do this

Lets see if it stays or gets so heavily moderated that I won't recognise my advert

Hi Paris, thanks for the feedback. Yes the items in the forum are confirmed 'rule' changes on Vivastreet - can you send me a quick email (es@vivastreet.com) so I have your details? We still have a few spaces left for the forum / feedback if you would like to take part? I am happy to upgrade your ad to the top package?

There isn't a way to block specific emails unfortunately, I will add this to the list of feedback to see if there is anything we can do in the future - if its certain user you could mark there address as 'junk' as an interim measure.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

The Vivastreet Team - Peter

Hi Strawberry, thanks again for all the feedback. Hopefully the changes to your ad will help, but I guess it can be hard if the site users don't read your description! The 'quick fix' we did for your town is hopefully just an interim measure, we are in the process of building a new geo / postcode system for the whole site and this should be rolled out later in the year.

Thanks,

The Vivastreet Team - Peter

I just posted a standard ad for my tour ?39.99 . am I able to edit the ad? I forgot to put my website link.

If the links to personal websites will be allowed after a trial, it will be vast improvement and I am sure many girls will consider to advertise again. (including myself).
In the past Vivastreet have not worked for me. After advertising for almost a year (it was ?20 a month) then, I have not met a single client who found me through this website.
It does give you lots of useless enquirers, which does not turn into bookings, because people does not have the most important information which displayed on the websites.

I'm going to go for the forum/feedback tomorrow.
I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

Hi Xenia, thank you for the feedback. We are working to try and improve the site for advert posters in the escort category - we have quickly learnt from speaking with you all that we cant treat this section as we do with other sections, the escort section has grown organically without being pushed or marketed and obviously isn't the main focus of our site.
This organic growth means that in July we had almost 1.2 million people visit our escort category, so I can completely understand that this means you may get a lot of useless enquires and hopefully the website link, rates in ads and relaxing of wording will help you filter these down.
If you would like to take part in the focus group and have a free ad on site (with your website link) send me an email at es@vivastreet.com, the more feedback we get from you guys hopefully the more we can improve the site for you.

Thanks,

The Vivastreet Team - Peter

Is there anyway I can make the link on my ad an active link?So far when I've advised enquirers that my website address is at the bottom of my ad there's been a sort of blank silence.

I have had a couple of those calls you mention from numbers I have flagged in the past as those who ask you to describe your services in great detail "Really, you do, go on tell me again.............." types. Standard sales and business training would say there's an opportunity to make a sale there whereas in reality that type of enquiry just wastes time you could be spending on genuine enquiries. The opening line from one such was "Which one are you?" sniff. Think he used that last time. Phones every time I advertise with VS.

Hi Strawberry, hmmm a tricky one! The link on the ad looks perfectly clickable, we cant really force people to review your link unfortunately. Perhaps we could try and move the link to the top of your ad text and maybe say something like please visit my site before contacting me?

I completely get what you are saying with regards to the 'sales and business' training and your right that's what I would have thought before talking to you all, however we know these are just time wasters or perhaps after a quick thrill or something else!

Some of the escorts that use VivaProtect (070) leave a pre recorded message so all callers have to listen to it, so they can here a description and listen to there voice - we have had some positive feedback that this has reduced some time wasters. As other posters have mentioned you don't need to use our service for this, there are others that you can use out there.

Thanks,

Peter, my website address was added to my ad but it is not clickable, they will have to  copy and paste and not everyone knows how to do that - remember we are dealing with guys here.

Edit :  Ive just looked at my ad again and the website has been removed, whats going on Peter?

Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Hi Lady Lust, penny has dropped now (haha I'm a guy too :) ) and Strawberry! I will need to ask a tech person about this question, but now understand what you both mean sorry.

I just checked your ad and the web address still seems to be there, no one has edited your add from what i can see also? Can you let me know if you can see.

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

Went in through "My Account" AND the long labourious way of going through all the ads and my website link is definitely NOT visible either way.

And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Hi Peter,

I think this may be a cache issue on your machine, as I have double checked in our admin system and also live site and your link is there - promise! Not sure if I can post your ad link in the forum or you are ok with that, but an easy way to see if it is a cache is to use another browser and copy and paste your ad links into it eg try firefox, explore or chrome.

Let me know if thats works, happy to give you a call!

Thanks,

Well Peter,  naughty naughty, you just want to talk dirty to me, don't you.  ;)

Don't talk techie to me for you could be talking double dutch and I wouldn't understand but what I did was went into the modifying bit and yes my website was there, so I deleted it and added my own sentence.  Lets see what they leave up.


Edit : Just to say they have left the full sentence up (so far but watch this space) and website showing through My Account.  Fingers crossed.
