Breaking up With Eros-Guide

Posted on November 3, 2012 by Chloė

As you all know, I am the virtual voice of City Girls. Recently, there have been some significant changes to our marketing efforts and some eye-opening realizations that I’d like to share with all of our trusted Members, VIP members and new friends.

Maybe you haven’t noticed City Girls’ ads on EROS-Guide in the last few days. For reasons beyond our rationale, we received a phone call from EROS-Guide management announcing that the

“…City Girls website has become competitive with EROS Guide…”

and that they will no longer allow us to advertise there, effective immediately. In essence, we were kicked off EROS-Guide. You can imagine how we felt. The impact was the equivalent of being dumped by your significant other when you thought everything was going great. Our whole team was really depressed and moped around for the whole day. Phone calls started to pour in from our VIP Members and other clients asking if City Girls’ ladies were still coming their way because they missed our ads on EROS-Guide. We stuttered and stammered, no knowing how to respond because we still had hopes of negotiating a meeting of the minds with EROS-Guide (trying to get back together). That didn’t happen. The break up was eminent.

All of us at City Girls are rather like-minded and simply don’t have the personality types to candy coat a situation. So, we felt it best to tell folks the plain truth because that’s just the way we are. The support was overwhelming. Almost all of you saw this dilemma as EROS-Guide’ loss.

So, we started thinking, maybe this isn’t a loss at all

I remember when Orbitz Travel broke up with Hilton Hotels. Go here to read about it. Ultimately, Orbitz was the loser, actually driving traffic away from their website to other sources that do feature Hilton Hotels such as Kayak, Expedia or even Roomkey. Go here to read about what happened next.

We’re not bitter or spiteful. Eros Guide had their reasons for ousting us that obviously conforms to their business strategy

which is in contrast to ours. First of all, the word ‘competition’ does not exist in our vocabulary. There’s plenty to go around for everyone. In fact, we actually see what some might consider competitors as friends and have even promoted our friends on review boards, escort malls, as independent escorts and agencies.

Our VIP Members rank number one in our minds. If someone inquires about scheduling a date through City Girls in an area that we don’t frequent, we always recommend an alternative such as an agency or another independent escort not a part of the City Girls’ family. We’ll never leave you hanging! We’re not the greedy type and actually feel really good knowing that we helped a client and his date find each other. In turn, everyone is happy.

As you can imagine, this whole situation opened our eyes about just where City Girls’ business is really coming from

So we did some research and through our analysis, came up with these surprising data:

EROS-Guide yielded only about 15% of all monthly traffic;
The rest of City Girls’ business comes from different sources (mostly review boards like TER, BigDoggie, ECCIE etc.); and
80% of all advertising expense has been allocated to EROS-Guide (this is kind of an embarrassment).

What an epiphany! In light of this knowledge, we want to encourage our readers to visit the following websites to stay abreast of what City Girls is doing in your respective areas:

Review Boards

TER is a well known review website with a solid presence all over the country. Every Sunday you can find our visitation schedule in each of the Regional Ad Boards sections. We highly recommend becoming a VIP member of TER in order to indulge in all of the juicy details;
BestGFE is another great review site known mostly in New Jersey, New York City, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. BestGFE is expanding into other areas around the U.S. and since most of the City Girls have feedback on those forums we recommend registering with them even if you are located outside of their areas;
BigDoggie is another prominent review website. City Girls will begin featured advertising in the next few days. It’s best to purchase their VIP membership to take advantage of all of the available features;
ECCIE is a forum where we’ve been advertising for a while now. You can follow our weekly posts on Sundays and Thursdays in the following cities: Washington, D.C., St. Louis, Richmond, Raleigh and Kansas City;
SouthernGFE features our tour updates every Sunday in the cities of Charlotte, Raleigh, Richmond and Virginia Beach; and
TNAReview is in the same network as BigDoggie. We will begin advertising there soon.

Verification Sites and Escort Malls

RS2K is a fantastic source for following not only Members and activities of City Girls, but other escorts as well. We find RS2K to be the best website for advertising in the Chicago area. City Girls offers FREE membership with their verification service. Go here for details;
CityVibe is a website where we’ll begin advertising next week based upon recommendations from hobbyists. You will be able to see City Girls in all the locations we tour;
Date-Check is another new advertising website for us. Until now, we didn’t accept Date-Check for verification purposes because we require the full, legal name of a client and this information is not verifiable through their service. However, we have decided to accept Date-Check as additional proof of verification though we still need to verify your legal name and identity. We will be advertising on Date-check after next week; and
Geisha Diaries, Verified Playmates and My Provider Guide are blogs and forums on which City Girls will have a presence starting next week.

Others Marketing Methods

SEO – Search Engine Optimization. Starting yesterday, we launched an urgent project to completely revamp our presence in search engine results. See you all on Google!
Word of Mouth – at the end of the day, referrals to City Girls have become quite popular. An influx of new members has been booking with us because their friend, coworker or business partner recommended us. It comes natural to us and where we have emphasized most of our attention in striving to make each and every appointment a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are ever so grateful for our VIP Members spreading the word and considering what we can do to show our appreciation!
www.city-girls.com is of course, our website URL. 1/6 of our website traffic comes in the form of returning visitors who type our web address directly into their computer browsers. Through it all, this was the main statistic that brought smiles to our faces.

Mailing List Subscriptions

is a great way to receive updates twice a week. Don’t worry. Our emails are neither annoying nor flashy, but plain and simple. You will receive two updates: one every Sunday which will list all the ladies scheduled to visit your subscribed city including a summary about our weekly blog article and one every Friday talking about who will be in your respective city for the weekend.

We are turbo boosting our advertising efforts on all of the aforementioned websites. We still have room in our budget for more so if you have any recommendations where you would like to see City Girls listed, let us know by emailing mike@city-girls.com .

Life goes on and we are most grateful for everyone’s support!

FREE RS2K Membership for New VIP Members

Posted on October 27, 2012 by Chloė

City Girls has joined forces with Room Service 2000 (RS2K) to offer free membership for new VIP members of City Girls and RS2K in ALL cities!

We work around the clock to make our VIP Members and Club Members happy. That’s why we came up with this fabulous idea to make things easier for our VIP Members! As hobbyists know, the screening process is something that must be completed even when you spot the girl of your dreams on the City Girls’ website and want to see her instantly. We are so excited that we thought it would be a good idea to talk a little bit about RS2K and how a new City Girls VIP Member can obtain his free membership:

What is RS2K?

RS2K is a leader in the adult industry known for top quality hobbyist screening. As a result, RS2K has built a solid reputation as one of the best advertising sources for legitimate agencies and providers nationwide. Put it all together and you have a powerful combination of security, discretion and successful dating for all parties involved.

How RS2K Works?

Room service 2000 operates a system that feeds upon itself. Because they provide such a thorough and secure screening process upon which providers and agencies rely, both feel confident advertising on the RS2K website. In turn, hobbyists look to RS2K for legitimate agencies and experienced providers (Room service 2000 requires its provider advertisers to have at least one favorable review). This ensures the hobbyist that his date will be well worth his time and exceed his expectations. Voila! We’ve come full circle in the RS2K experience.

RS2K is widely known and revered in many different cities and continues to expand across the nation. Their verification service is the safest option for providers among many alternatives. Membership cannot be compromised by a third party because a hobbyist is required to verify his identity with a driver’s license that conforms to the coordinates he provides to Room service 2000. Additionally, the phone number that he provides to RS2K must also be his confirmed contact number. This is known as the ‘offline system’ that leaves no loopholes in security measures. Memberships are completed in 24 hrs or less when forms are submitted correctly and the applicant replies back to their initial contact email from RS2K promptly.

RS2K showcases the best providers

Just as our members are screened, so are providers if they want to advertise on RS2K. They must meet one of two qualifications as a legitimate provider: demonstrate 3 or more reviews; if they have no reviews, another Room service 2000 member in good standing or a reputable provider from the RS2K website can give them a recommendation to qualify to advertise. This guideline results in a safe place where a hobbyist can go to find his date. In this industry, Room service 2000 resonates as a forum where only legitimate providers are able to advertise.

RS2K features thoroughly-screened hobbyists

While RS2K cannot make any promises, they offer with total confidence that their members are screened to be who they say they are. Additionally, they pass along any valuable information gained in the process to help a provider make an informed decision when making an appointment with any hobbyist member who may contact them.

Excellent Customer Service

It doesn’t matter whether you are an advertiser on RS2K or you are using Room service 2000 services for verification purposes. The customer support that Cathy and Callie offer is unparalleled in this industry. They roll out the red carpet with prompt and thorough answers to all of your questions.

RS2K prevails among other verification services

RS2K was established in 1998 making it the oldest verification service in the industry. As mentioned previously, it is the only “off-line” verification service around. With their high standards and simple requirements, RS2K feels that if all steps are followed in obtaining a members information accurately and correctly, a provider can feel confident that she is in contact with the actual member. Room service 2000 has a philosophy, that even if a member of RS2K contacts a provider, that provider in no way should feel forced to make an appointment. It is always a personal choice of the provider.

RS2K verification methods

Method of contact – RS2K never calls or contacts any hobbyist. Any communication is done strictly through email. Room service 2000 verifies either by electronic technology and/or documentation. They are very non disruptive. City Girls believes that when verifying a client, it’s then a good idea for a provider and/or her booker to confirm that the client is calling from the same phone number as the one he registered with RS2K for purposes of his membership. She should call that number to make sure that whoever sets up an appointment is in fact the owner of that cell phone.

Identity Verification – when a hobbyist meets with a provider, he needs to prove his identity by showing her the identification that was provided to RS2K during the verification process.

It pays to advertise on RS2K

Since City Girls has been advertising on RS2K, our Club Members have increased in many cities. Because we have had such a positive experience with Room service 2000, we highly recommend their advertising and screening services to all independent providers and agencies.

RS2K is safe for hobbyists

RS2K is the premier website where hobbyists can get verified and feel safe dating providers who advertised on the website. It is wise for a hobbyist to select his provider carefully since he is the only one sharing his membership information.

RS2K is safe for providers

Providers who advertise on Room service 2000 enjoy quality clients who visit their websites. Some providers or agencies may find from their research that statistically, advertising on RS2K does not yield as high a quantity of hits as say Back Page. But RS2K produces quality clients and that’s what counts! At City Girls, we get about 25-30 unique visitors a day. If you think that’s not a lot, think again!

RS2K is affordable

Compared to all other advertising forums, RS2K is quite affordable. Cathy will be happy to provide you with a sampling of the most popular ads along with pricing and what she would recommend from the featured options they have.

How to get your FREE RS2K membership through City Girls

A hobbyist who is new to both RS2K and City Girls qualifies! Free membership is available only in ALL areas. When these criteria are met, here is the process:

A client books an appointment with City Girls conditioned upon obtaining verification through Room service 2000;
The client applies for RS2K membership;
The client pays the membership fee to RS2K;
The client waits for approval;
The client then contacts City Girls with his RS2K membership approval confirmation;
If the client’s date of the new Room service 2000 membership follows the date his City Girls appointment request, then he will receive a credit from City Girls toward his appointment.

Navigating the Hobbyist World

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Chloė

“As a hobbyist, familiarizing yourself with the do’s and don’ts of escort/hobbyist etiquette will only improve your reputation as a desirable and sought after gentleman thereby enriching your hobby with priceless experiences and rewarding relationships.”

You’ve made a decision to contact an independent escort through City Girls. Maybe this is your first time or maybe you’re a seasoned hobbyist. You don’t have to be an experienced hobbyist to become a VIP member of City Girls. But you do need to prepare yourself for some initial procedures characteristic of meeting an escort anywhere, anytime, not just City Girls. Some hobbyists have adopted the misconception that it’s all about the girls and what they can do for them. Not true. In the world of hobbying, it’s a two way street and those hobbyists who fail to recognize this ethic are greatly missing out. So even if you’ve been around the bend as a hobbyist and know your stuff, read on. There are at least a few bits of valuable information from which you can benefit.

Hobbyist screening and how it works

Whether or not you are new to the hobby, be prepared to provide qualified verification as standard procedure in the escort world. There are a few methods:

Provider references – having seen other providers who will vouch for you is a great endorsement. But if you don’t have this kind of reference, there are other options;
Employment verification- does that sound scary? It shouldn’t. Escorts and hobbyists alike are equally focused on safety and anonymity. Rest assured, we’re all in the same boat. Highly Secured Call Center performs a discreet and professional employment verification, never disclosing the nature of the call;
Room Service 2000 (RS2K) – you can simplify the whole verification process as a hobbyist once and for all by purchasing a membership with RS2K. In doing so, you will go through the verification process only once. City Girls upholds an RS2K verification, lending priority to your inquiry. (learn more how to get a FREE RS2K membership when booking with City Girls first time FREE RS2K Membership for New VIP Members)

Even if you are known for providing stellar escort reviews you must still complete the verification process if you want to become a member of City Girls. Even if you have a handle or reviews on any of the boards or forums you must complete the verification process. You must provide your real name because you will be required to show your photo identification at the onset of your appointment with a City Girls escort.

Hobbyist hygiene

In case your mother never mentioned, practicing good hygiene is not only sanitary, but highly appreciated in the eyes of every woman. This doesn’t mean slapping on some cologne to mask the sweaty remnants of a stressful day. Just as your date will tediously prepare herself for your encounter, take the time to shower, shave, groom yourself and dress decently and presentable. Sometimes life gets in the way. Maybe you had to stay late at the office, got caught in traffic or got held up at the airport and have no time to refresh less you miss your appointment. Place a courtesy call to your date. Most of the time, escorts will have a private shower and toiletries available whether at their incall or outcall so that you can take care of business upon your timely arrival and make a shining first impression.

A punctual hobbyist means a successful date

Prior to meeting your date, pace yourself and be conscientious that your schedule can accommodate leaving the office, getting ready, commuting (Highly Secured Call Center will provide you with directions to your location to ensure that you don’t getting lost), traffic and parking. Sometimes fate will have its way and you will be a little late. The kiss of death occurs when a hobbyist either takes timeliness for granted and neglects to place a courtesy call to his date because he doesn’t think it’s important. When scheduling your initial appointment with an escort through City Girls’ Highly Secured Call Center, adopt the guideline that canceling is not an option. It’s just a good rule of thumb. If you feel a sense of doubt that you won’t be able to keep your appointment, wait. When you are certain of your schedule, call back and set the appointment. You’ll be glad you did. If you really want to get yourself blacklisted not only with City Girls but in the world of escorting in general, don’t show up at all. That is a major no no. City Girls places great value in respectful and courteous hobbyists whose escort members do the same.

Escorts love gifts

If you want to put a smile on the beautiful face of an escort, arrive with a gift. If you want to enamor her and have her shower you with (even more) attention, bring her a small, discreet gift that fits in your coat pocket or the palm of your hand and doesn’t draw attention to passers by. The last thing you want to do is select an oversized gift, raising the suspicion of hotel employees and creating an awkward awareness of your date during the remainder of her stay. It goes without saying that gifts are not donations. They are separate. Here’s a little hint: if she has a website, it will usually feature a section of her favorite gifts. Now, you’re really going to get on the good side of your date and City Girls as well!

Hobbyists should always practice discretion

City Girls recommends arriving at the location of your date about 10 minutes prior. Your appointment was scheduled at a specific time for a reason. Escorts have schedules and private lives just like you. Showing up too early (earlier than 10 minutes) is inappropriate and should never cause reason to complain either to your date or City Girls. Doing so will ruin the moment and create an indelible impression. If you happen to beat the traffic and arrive unfashionably early, take advantage. Grab the newspaper, have a seat at the bar and catch up on current events. As you will learn after having contacted City Girls you will need to call Highly Secured Call Center to request the room number of your date. Discreetly slip away, perhaps to the restroom or lobby where you can place a quiet phone call without drawing the attention of nosy neighbors or gawking employees. Better yet, call from your cell phone as you are parking if the timing is right.

City Girls believes in good ethics

You may have heard the expression “you will always catch more bees with honey”. While it may sound silly, the saying can be applied to gentlemen who are respectful, decent and polite toward ladies. A little goes a long way – respectful dialect, courteous manners, opening a door for her, treating her has your equal. If such manners are not something that you normally think about, you will be truly amazed at the higher level of quality of your date. On the other hand, if you are one of those unfortunate men who take pleasure in disrespect, condescension, foul language or hostility in the presence of a lady, City Girls is definitely not the club for you.

By following these simple yet important words of advice, you will gain an immediate grasp as a hobbyist and even an edge over many other hobbyists. Take heed when crafting your reputation as a hobbyist because relationships are everything, just like in any other avenue of life. Hobbyists and escorts alike share a common thread of courtesy, respect, good hygiene and etiquette. This is what City Girls is all about.
