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!

Mechanics of a Good Client

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Chloė

I was recently talking with a girlfriend who is a very successful companion in Boston, Massachusetts. For the sake of privacy, I shall refer to her as Brit. Brit ranks among the top 100 providers on TER, nationwide.

She has an attractive website and fantastic photos. What’s more, she’s a kind person with a heart of gold – you can tell in the first few minutes of speaking to her. She knows exactly what kind of man she likes. She even uses Google Analytics to track statistics on her website. She is a true professional, independent companion. Yet, she voiced some concerns and frustrations about the type of clientele attracted to her lately. She has been questioning what she might do differently. She will be joining the Club at City Girls. But then we got to talking about the gentlemen in her life and the types that she is attracted to. Together, we came up with many traits that she believes characterize a good client. Here’s what we discussed:

A gentleman should abide by a companion’s method of contact

Brit is very particular about how a client contacts her. She will not hesitate to disregard an inquiry from a potential, new client if he sends her a cryptic email instead of completing her contact form. She feels strongly about her preferred method because she is more of a dinner date/overnight type companion and is very selective. Yet, she struggles with this rigidity, wondering if she’s doing the right thing or selling herself short. Recently, she responded to a gentleman who contacted her by email. Hesitant to make the exception, she met the new client anyway. Reportedly, he was one of the best looking men she has ever met. Ladies, above all, listen to your intuition!

He should appreciate you and desire to see you beyond one date

I think we all know when we are being disrespected or unappreciated. As an independent escort, just because you are a professional entertainer does not mean that you must compromise your ethics or values for the sake of a date. Brit believes that because she has upheld her standards she has attracted a higher quality clientele. Now, one of her midterm goals is to increase the number of repeat clients whom she sees so that she can devote more quality time on a longer term basis. In Brit’s case, less is more.

Look for chemistry and harmony

Brit identified chemistry as one of the most important requirements when deciding whether or not to see a client. She emphasized that she must like her clients. And by ‘like’ she meant getting along well with them, sharing similar interests and being able to sustain a conversation. She looks for these features in a new client and feels that in doing so she is more likely to establish a longer term relationship. This also means that Brit turns down potential suitors. As a result, Brit has slowly transformed her business into one abundant with travel to exotic destinations, upscale dinner dates and really, pure enjoyment of life. Way to go, girl!

A man should pay attention to payment protocol and avoid negotiating

If ever a guy wants to ruffle the feminine feathers of a companion, all he has to do is insult her by discussing donations or the forbidden – negotiate. In Brit’s case, she will immediately end a date and cease from ever communicating with the man again. Stick to your guns, chicas!

A gentleman practices good hygiene that way you do

What woman finds attractive the male who shows up stale or stinky, not just freshly showered with minty breath and neatly shaven? It doesn’t take long for a man to groom himself and he most certainly takes less time than us girls. So what does it say about the man who smells from the day’s stress? It says a lot, my friends. We at City Girls believe that you shouldn’t compromise on such a standard because an ill-kept man is also one who does not respect you enough to take a 10-minute shower.

Your date should understand screening and adhere to your boundaries

At City Girls, an escort does not have to worry about screening because clients are pre-screened before she sees them. However, an independent escort such as Brit bears the burden of screening clients herself if she is to look out for her safety (another reason why she is joining City Girls). Assume your client has passed your screening process. Now, you must ensure that he understands and respects your boundaries. I talked about this in a previous article. Go here to find out more.

Question the legitimacy of gift-giving

I mean no offense to any gentleman who is wishes to embellish his date with the generosity of a gift! What girl will not be flattered? However, in the best interest of the girls, I am talking about the man who gives a gift laced with ulterior motives because he desires to manipulate her into doing something that she wouldn’t otherwise do. Brit talked about this. In fact, she does not accept gifts at all. I personally find that to be a bit extreme but it works for her. She prefers to avoid any complications, whatsoever. On the other hand, a gift given in all sincerity but denied by its recipient can offend the giver. It’s all about paying attention to the subliminal messages during your date.

What’s the formula for defining the perfect date?

Well, there is none. Wait! Before you get disappointed, re-read this article and others linked within. You will begin to see a pattern that emerges based upon your personal style and goals. Yes, escorting is a real job and therefore should have pre-defined goals. As your goals take shape, so will the quality of your clientele improve. These are words coming from Brit, a lady who has definitely carved her niche at the top in the world of independent escorting.

What Can City Girls Do For You?

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Chloė

**“As an independent escort, there are many things to think about. You are your own boss running your own business. You work hard for your money.” Author Chloé, City Girls Membership Coordinator**

City Girls understands this by providing a club environment where independent escorts can benefit from many features typically associated only with an agency. City Girls is not an agency which means that you keep 100% of your hard-earned money. Becoming a club member of City Girls is free for escorts.

City Girls club members enjoy all the perks of advertising at no cost

Maintaining an attractive website that displays current, professional photos is one of the most important aspects of being an independent escort. How you market your website is crucial to getting your name out there. As an independent escort, paying to promote yourself with advertisements can get expensive. City Girls advertises on all major review boards such as TER, Big Doggie and Best GFE as well as major escort malls around the world. City Girls also hosts email marketing geared toward keeping VIP members informed about what’s going on with club members. Joining the club at City Girls is a great way to increase your business without having to reach into your pocket book.

An independent escort must focus on quality clients

There are many hobbyists out there who will want to see you. Hobbyists come in all shapes and sizes from all walks of life. You don’t want to see just anyone who comes your way. An independent escort must look out for herself and always place safety as her number one priority. If you are new to the business, you might still be learning how to select your clientele. If you are an established, independent escort, you recognize the value of clients who suit your style. All of the clients at City Girls must pass a thorough screening process before they are eligible to see any of the club members. As an independent escort, this is a huge advantage! Imagine having all of your clients pre-screened, ensuring your safety, so that you can focus on doing what you do best.

Client screening is essential for the safety of every independent escort

When a hobbyist views your website and contacts you for a date, you must pass him through a screening process. Whatever verification service you use, you must ensure your safety and your client’s authenticity. This is part of your job and should always be a requirement if you intend to stay in business as an independent escort. As a crucial element to the safety of its club members, City Girls has implemented Highly Secured Call Center and it’s amazing how it works. Think of Highly Secured Call Center as your personal assistant. They are behind the scenes making sure that each and every client who wants to see you has passed through the screening process, thereby ensuring your safety. Highly Secured Call Center also understands the importance of a client’s discretion so that all communication is confidential. Highly Secured Call Center interacts between you and your client taking care of all of the details leading up to your date, from start to finish so that you can both relax and enjoy each other’s company.

City Girls takes VIP status to a whole new level. A hobbyist is eligible for VIP membership after his first successful engagement with a City Girls club member. However, VIP status is not for every hobbyist who dates a City Girls club member. To initiate his VIP status, that club member should voluntarily provide a highly favorable recommendation confirming 5-star quality of the date. City Girls recognizes that there are varying tiers of a successful date and delivers red carpet treatment accordingly. In essence, VIP members are in a class by themselves:

They get to view exclusive, un-blurred photos of club members who want to expose their faces;
Those same photos are copy resistant through a special software used by City Girls;
Club members have the option of providing special discounts to VIP members;
City Girls treats its VIP members as friends and expects them to reciprocate;
Additional benefits are in the works at City Girls.

By the same token, VIP membership can be irrevocably denied should City Girls deem a hobbyist a menace to its club members or if he does not measure up to City Girls’ code of ethics.

Good Reviews are the bread and butter of every successful escort

Obtaining quality clients is only half the job. An independent escort must always be thinking where her next client is coming from. She does so by endorsing her business with good escort reviews. As an independent escort, having good escort reviews is the best way to increase your business. City Girls encourages good reviews from its VIP members. Club member profiles feature not only reviews from City Girls’ VIP members but also links to their escort reviews from other websites such as TER, BestGFE and others.

The City Girls concept

City Girls is a club of independent escorts where you have the freedom to be yourself. City Girls places success as your fingertips while backing you with safety so that you don’t have to worry about your business. Marketing and coordination of appointments are conveniently built into club membership. You can even set your own schedule and request certain types of VIP members. If you love what you do as an independent escort, put City Girls to work for you.
