RE:.....(.PS. I wracked my brain and couldn't think of a single service oriented profession - hairstylist, retail service, mechanic etc that does not offer specials, discounts, or loyalty rewards in some form or fashion.)
TRUE!! but they dont have to stress daily over "is this the day i go to jail?"
And my regs r treated like Kings as well, i go out of my way to make sure they r, if im busy i make time for them, they get special treatment therefore they would never ask for a discount.

My Car Wash has VIP Club coupons as an idea?

Sometimes the best ideas are "borrowed."

Woohoo! I've got to start keepin' track of these things...

Debated on whether to chime in on this thread. Most of the responders have said it about as best as it could be said. Bottom line, if a lady chooses to offer any kind of special to a deserving gentleman, it should be between the two of them, period. If y'all strike a deal, then good for you. Be appreciative of the consideration, do your thing, and go about your business. And don't expect it the next time. And don't tell 12 of your best hobby buddies of the cut-rate deal you got. Let them earn their own consideration.

I am still seeing people who first saw me in July 08. Some I see once a month or so, some I see every 2 weeks and some I see once a week. One I see every 6 weeks or so, one flies me to him every 3 months etc. These guys go to the front of the line, get exactly what they want (mostly), have my private number, can text me...name it.

They have all proven to be valuable reliable clients.

Do they get perks? Birthday freebies, extended time, 'grandfathered in" ....you bet they do! They spend on average 8k a year on me (some are 20k some are 5K some are 10k per annum).

Somebody sees me 45-50 times a year, spends 10k a year on me they're kings and they get treated that way. They earned it.

Well stated.

IMHO all mine would perfer VIP treatment vs a discount as thats what this is all about as least with the ones i c, hell u can hit it anywhere but if you want more ...then a discount is the last thing on your mind (and i think i speak for many) when u think of your provider that goes the extra mile for u .

I already have an arrangement for unlimited sex for $xxx. It was based upon months of freebies. Sex on the floor. In the car. We did it at midnight. We did it at noon. We were together constantly. I now call her my wife. She's the reason I hobby.

perpetualdesign · 11-22-2010, 05:37 PM

Thank you all for your responses and answers. You have definitely helped me sort out my own thoughts to decide what my opinion is.

What I get collectively is in the event a provider did offer a discount, whatever the means were, she might feel slighted and even if she tries to give regular service, subconsciously she might be less than par. The hobbiest receiving the discount might also be looking for lesser service, and feel he was underpaying and deserving such.

So it looks like a no win situation for discounts in this industry. I say it is a mistake to ask, and even if one is offered it would be better to pay full price as well as giving a tip. Both parties are happier, and future events should be brighter.

Thanks for not ripping me completely to shreds, enough remains that I may post again someday!

I would absolutely rather have special treatment (front of the line privileges, accommodation of some of my more esoteric tastes, etc.) than a discount. I've never done a fixed rate/unlimited access arrangement; it would take a very special lady to make me consider it.

And BTW, MsElena and Swarmyone agreeing on anything has to mean the Apocalypse is upon us.

I think that just about sums it up.

HAHAHA Gryphon. Seriously, I'm an easy person to get along with. I just tend to speak my mind more than others. Some people will click and some won't, but I never harbor ill feelings towards the people I don't click with.

As for your point.....you nailed it perfect.

Prepay=FAIL.
Sugardaddy=FAIL.
Exclusivity=FAIL.

Bottom line...Keep it simple.

catnipdipper · 11-23-2010, 02:27 PM

You just separated fantasy from reality. Alas

I have a punch card...It is for a free visit after the 9th...
and It's complete with a specialty punch

I don't think there's anything wrong with rewarding customer loyalty!
That's all I have to add

Below was what my punch card actually looked like before I had the correct info added to replace what was incorrect

BUT Then i decided not to encourage those who might complain about me attempting any self advertising haha
