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

When I advertise with VS I receive enquiries for locations at least 2 hours away. That's 2 hours from the location VS list me under because they can't get my postcode right.

Hi again Megan

Thanks for your post. I had a look at your advert and it is showing in the region you selected, so nothing missing there.

One of the things that might be worth trying is to add the areas you cover for your outcalls in your ad description.

Also, we agree that we send too many emails when an advert is about to expire. We are working to improve all the emails we send out currently. The aim is to send less emails, make it more personalised and relevant. Hopefully these changes will improve your experience with Vivastreet.

These changes happen because the organisation does listen to feedback. However, sometimes it takes longer than we?d like to implement the changes. I appreciate your patience and thank you for understanding. We do strive to create a product that keeps our advertisers happy. After all, without you, we wouldn?t have a business at all! :)

Regards,
The Vivastreet Team - Finny

I've dropped VS as I was getting so many TWs and AFTER using the 'hide your number' I got NO calls - niet, nada, nothing.

I am investing the 120 a month I used to spend on VS with AW.

It's just a NO COMPETITION situation.

I think you missed my point.  The postcode showing atm is NOT my real postcode as your site can't get your locations sorted and I am sick and tired of getting calls from Slough, Wokingham and some other places more than 2 hours from where I live

Last week I got a call from Essex and the guy argued with me as to whether I was local to him or not [sigh]

The plain facts are that you have upped your charges without any real justification and yet you don't seem to be able to sort out problems that have been in existence since the site started - and was free to advertise on!

Now I am annoyed so once this week has finished I, for one, won't be advertising with you again. 

I am not selling my car, I am selling my body and it's worth a lot more to me than jumping through these hoops every week

All my friends agree  - VS is just NOT worth advertising on.

There are too many bugs in the system, it takes FAR too long for moderation, you can't really say what you want to say about yourself (unlike AW) and when you DO get calls you have to spend ages on the phone decribing your services becuase you can't use 'naughty words.' It's what we do - we FUCK men for a living!

Coupled with the complete wankers and tossers that do call (if you don't hide your number) and you over inflated pricing structure I am delighted I deactivated. Whew -the relief!!!

I do OK with Vivastreet. I have been lucky regarding the locations I've visited - they've always been very clear.

Vivastreet attracts more naive punters. That means a lot of calls from idiots. However, there will always be (one or two a week) these sort of sweet older men who are very easily pleased.

I do think that it's hard to compete with the AW. AW seems cheaper because we can A) pay only on the days we want and/or B) pay with credits earned from selling erotic content.

Vivastreet has tried to take the tack of "we cost more but we give more." As frustrating as some glitches may be, they're vastly nicer to deal with than AW. However, I think that the more they give in terms of customer service, the higher their costs will be.

I would like more options to pay for one day or thing at a time. I would like to be able to feature just one day or pay to move location just the once. But everyone is different. A girl who tours constantly needs something different from a girl who tours maybe once a month.

I just need them to sort out the location glitches, and have been asking them to do this for years. Along with not suddenly whipping photos off, this would make a huge difference and could bring me back. The location thing is something really very basic.

Lottie, it's not necessary to keep singling people out and I've already asked you to stop it once further up the thread. Give it a rest.

Sorry I don't remember being told not to do it.

Hi Megan

I agree there are glitches in the system but as I mentioned earlier we are working to improve it. Some improvements take longer than the other. In the meanwhile we can only offer alternative solutions such as specifying areas you cover in the ad description as lot of our site visitors search for the area.

Regarding the price changes, it was a business decision and it is standard progression as the business grows. There are definitely areas we can improve and we are working on it. I understand you're not having a good experience on Vivastreet but we also have a majority of advertisers who are happy with how Vivastreet has evolved. As a company we have to listen to both sides.

Once we have a better geo system, I believe it'll be better for you. You're always welcome on Vivastreet and we'll be happy to help you in any way possible.

Regards,
The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Hi Blonde Floozie

Vivastreet regrets that you don't advertise with us any more.  Losing our advertisers is not something we take lightly. As mentioned in my previous posts, we have some improvements lined up for this year and hopefully it will offer a better experience.

Having said that some websites work better for some people and if you have experienced that AW works better for you, I cannot dispute it. It is different for different advertisers.

I hope we reach a stage where you'll be happy to come back on Vivastreet.

Hi Fabulassie

I'm glad to hear that you're happy with Vivastreet in general.

Regarding 1 day options, our system currently does not support it. If you email me with your requirements, I can see what I can do.

Hi Mirror

There is a project in the pipeline to fix the geo issues. I agree that the issue is basic but unfortunately the solution is not. When the issue is fixed do try Vivastreet again and see if it works better. We will be happy to have you back.
