Thanks for replying VS.

Am not sure a reminder of the posting guidelines will be helpful. Could somebody not just look at the advert and tell the lady where she is going wrong.

Is it necessary to buy extra features, etc? I used it for the 1st time, normal listing and I got 2 xalls, both from a loser trying to do car meets and asking if I did drugs. I was so buried that I feel my £18 didn't have a chance.

Thank you lady, I gave up in the end far to much hassle beside I really do think they should think about having an erotic massage section as we are lost in a sea of escorts in the escort/massage section and if we are found its usually men looking for full service. This can be quite dangerous if it isnt noticed at the booking stage as we could have a very angry man on our hands. It really p1$$es me off because there are people quite blatantly offering sexual services in the massage part, so why let some but not others and they cant say otherwise as there is a guy offering 'free Yoni massages' in there. Its not even hidden away its in his headline

Maybe I have it wrong, the rules might be that its fine to offer whatever you want as long as its not for money. Where are the posting guidelines again

Vivastreet · « **Reply #1610 on:** 15 February 2019, 11:39:57 am »

Hello @Gina, thanks for highlighting, we will pass that onto our customer service team to investigate. As in our terms and conditions, any tantric massage adverts should be posted in the 'Escorts and Massages' category.

GG · « **Reply #1611 on:** 15 February 2019, 01:09:32 pm »

Yes, i know so please stop referring me back to the posting guidelines. What i am trying to highlight is the problems it causes as clients think we are offering full service ie penetration when the majority of erotic masseuses dont. Maybe if i put it in terms vivastreet might understand. The reason you dont get many erotic massage adverts is because we get mistaken for SP's who offer full service. This in turn causes us to mainly receive calls from men who want full service which wastes a lot of our time. If you separated erotic massage from the escort section you would generate a lot more income for yourself, which would generate more income for us and it would stop wasting ours and the clients time so it would be a win win situation for everyone including the ladies in the massage section who dont offer any sexual services and have to deal with men expecting them which I'm in no doubt they do.

Edit: I don't offer Tantric massage. Not all sensual massage is tantric massage and some tantric masseuses dont offer any sexual services at all. Vivastreet could do with researching what they are actually advertising before they take our money!

I’m fed up with viva street because you have to pay for a week and I never work a week like that. I might do Tuesday/Wednesday/ and Friday. I might not use it again because if this.

On the other hand although I am not high volume, do have days off or at certain times limited availability - I do like/do take advance bookings. A better rate for subsequent weeks would be of a great interest rather than turning it on for a week, off for a week.

If your basic ad is costing you £18, does that mean you're in London EO? I can't say I've ever tried a Vivastreet ad there personally, but from what people I know have said it's probably not worth the bother there unless somebody who's tried it with all the hideously expensive addons has found otherwise

I just moved to London. I spoke to a VS rep and it looks like in order to stand out from all the agency ads, for all the bells and whistles, it'll be £100-120 a week for VIP, featires, etc. Half off if you get a promotion.

So the most affordable choice to be seen would cost a total of £18 for the ad, plus £30 for a highlight. The VIP and Features are £80-120 each, per week, lol. Viva is pretty much cashing in. Those who pay the least get buried. Even to be featured as new is going to cost £10, though you just paid £18 for a supposed 'premium' ad, as a new person, lol.

If I got more than a few calls from the same nutty guy, it might be worth it but £18 to be buried under the same girls on every page, not find myself unless keyed in specifics (price range, ethnicity), I dunno.

I'm going to focus on cam and phone but come spring I'll try out one of the VIP options and report back.

I'm guessing the exposure might be worth it, but only if you've got a weekly budget of paying £100+. If I'm going to do that, I want to invest more in my brand.

Also, kind if hard to go with viva when Ace offers a whole month for the same prices and is said to be quite good.

I second what Gina is saying.

I stopped advertising with Viva as it was absolutely pointless yet expensive.
If there was a separate section for erotic massage, I would be willing to advertise again.

When VS first started I'm sure a lot of full sex providers including myself pointed out that use of the words 'massage providers' wasn't terribly helpful for us either. It created a lot of 'massage' inuenddo type enquiries often feeding confusion and TW opportunity.

The didn't consider it important enough to change.

Kate from vivastreet phoned me yesterday she has agreed that a separate section is needed and forwarded our concerns to the powers that be. She followed this up with an email saying they are looking at a Tantric massage section. Ive explained that sensual or erotic would be a be a more suitable umbrella term as Tantric is its own speciality and is nothing to do with what I offer. In fact i make a point of saying i do t offer Tantric on my site so i certainly wont be making an hypocrite of myself by advertising in a Tantric section. Lets see if they listen

Thank you for being proactive about it, Gina.
You're absolutely right that sensual or erotic massage should be a general section.
Tantric massage is essentially an erotic massage with a New Age spin to this, so a subset of a general category.
