EEC marketing and operation strategies (from persepctives of clients and agency)
First off, thank you Riina for your positive note. I agree that 262 agency has established itself and also that hobbyist should support good form agencies.
And, Charmo, I certainly knew the difference as I came up with the same research result, but providers may also list themselves under multiple agencies or listing under an agency while casting an independent net. So, I think it's fair NOT to rule out such a possibility. Logan Tantrica's Marteen has listed with an agency doing escorts for a very short time (we had posts about this earlier this year). Daiva from EEC listed under WetnWild before EEC came back to the playground. I can continue this list by telling you guys who's who between agencies that I'm following.
Going back to EEC, I'm glad that the agency decided to engage in the conversation. From the marketing standpoint, what EEC does with their BP posts is no different than Asian massage parlors and spas. AMPs uses publicly accessible model images to attract eyeballs, EEC used a set of keywords to increase the search visibility. Offering review incentives is a common strategy too. Some touring agencies would offer 50 off in exchange for reviews of their new girls. CityGirls is the one that got banned by TER for doing it too aggressively. I don't agree what happened because TER also rewards users for their review.
None of these strategies are problematic or un-trustworthy for me because I (and any hobbyist should) do my homework.
Regarding advertisement, why would anyone believe "it's her first day", "true spinner," or "I can spend less than $200 to fuck that Korean runway model. " When 262 is very awkwardly shown up in EEC's BP ad while they are trying to retain the same EEC brand recognition by tweaking the names from exclusive escorts companions to exclusive escorts Chicago, any hobbyist should be able to tell something's up. If you know the image of your cereal box is an exaggerated version of your favorite breakfast, then you should not be pissed about what EEC did with BP. It's just a common biz practice, no more and no less.
But the bottom line is, does EEC present inaccurate information about their girls? I'm fine with a small degree of inflation: calling themselves a spinner while they are only short but not as thin, listing 115 lbs while in fact being 125 lbs, listing 22 of age while in fact being 29. I'm fine with any of these as long as the description is not too far off. My tolerance is within 10 lbs or 2 sizes, or the appearance is close enough to the said age (not saying 30 while being 50). After all, hobbyists may do the same during communication. There was a time when Daiva / Alice's un-blurred images were online, I believe it matched up to the description from the reviews and I think the match between price and quality is good enough for me.
As for the review incentive, I like it because at very least it is an indicator suggesting that they are not Jack Shack, nor bait and switch etc. It's also a way to help hobbyist reduce risks of being caught or ripped off. Again, the bottom line is, are those reviews too inflated? I believe the inflation is a bit much. The funny thing about inflated reviews is that, being exaggerated too much will give other clients false expectation and subsequently cause troubles for providers and the agency. If you already know that even good reviews contain tons of bragging of authors' cock or tongue or the ability of making providers O for real, you should read between the lines of reviews and focus on the information about appearance and service menu because those are the things that you can verify in meeting or check against other sources.
For me, I only focus the following things in any review: whether the scores are consistent at the same level (being always at 7 is better than having couple 10 score reviews and the rest are all over the place), whether reviewers are surprised by the actual size and appearance, whether the images are old or misleading, and whether the juicy info suggests a consistent service menu. I can also read between the lines and identify whether the reviews are done by agency promoters. Writing style is something difficult to shake up and change.
As a hobbyist, you have every right to be concerned about EEC's marketing strategies. But more importantly, you should be an informed hobbyist, even if you don't follow the forum, you should do your homework and do not buy in the commercials and reviews blindly.
For EEC, if you are open to advice, I'd suggest using RS2 K, P411, Datecheck, etc. for verification and screening method. It's not a big operation cost for you to pay RS2 K for searching client membership. If EEC truly wants to go for a different market than the one of the established bodyrub agencies like 262,323, or 773, then you should use these services, given that almost all higher end touring agencies and independent girls do so for their client screening. This should be included as a part of your biz operation. I'm willing to pay more to those providers because they make the screening easy. You should also know that, hobbyists have concerns about providing info directly to you guys given the backend story we know about your guys dropping off radar earlier. All the more reasons to use screening service than handling by yourself.
With your advertising venues, I'd rather see you guys staying off BP since LEOs always look into BP, and I rather see you in the biz than out. Also, while images could speak for themselves, a good, not-too-inflated description about your girls is the key that makes your ad stand out. This will increase your credibility for those willing to spend $300-$400. This will also be the foundation for people to evaluate reviews.
Finally, $ is the shorthand of $100, that post has a glitch, it should be read as $$ Not $$? ($400?? Not $200?) .
[QUOTE=Riina;3035582]Patrick, you seem like a level headed guy. The lovely lady at 262 spent years building her brand. It's important that we as hobbyists support only good form from the agencies. I'm going to assume that someone simply made a mistake and could not possibly want to direct ill will towards a group of local moms.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=MrCharmo;3035405]Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong. From what I read on posts, Riina was recco'ing Inessa from the real 262 agency. Then Exclsv Esc Chgo agency ripped off the name and the 262 to mislead hobbies into seeing them instead. Real Inessa brunette from 262, fake Inessa is blonde from EEC agency.
CoolPat, that link you posted is for the fake one[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Desparado;3037159]Its good to know that the reviewers are under a big incentive so that this can be taken into consideration when judging how credible and unbiased a review may be. I noticed alot of reviews by first time reviewers and mongers who only review girls from that same agency.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=ExclusiveChi;3036646]If it is a first day of a girl then we write her first day. Sometimes we will leave it up for a few days. If you are on our VIP list then you get access to the new girls before they are advertised.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=ExclusiveChi;3036642]$$ ?? Not $$? I really don't know what that means. We have prices from $300 to $500 per hour. And we offer $100 off for reviews. So we are very affordable. And our reviews are excellent. Unlike 262.[/QUOTE]
