Q for dancers, escorts, agencies & anyone "offline"
Hey girls, I got a question for you.
So, not that many of you here would know me (or anyone for that matter lol) but I've been kinda MIA from the cam world since earlier this year, and that's because I've gotten into marketing as my "day job".
My most recent adventure has been all about lead generation. I have a pretty awesome system setup here where anyone, anywhere can text in a keyword to my phone number, and my system will automatically text them back whatever information it is that they are requesting.
And this just hit me like a ton of bricks today :)
For anyone who does print or online advertising, whether it's private party dancers, or escorts, or whoever! Lets use an example for an escort:
Lets say Escort XYZ advertises herself on backpage.com with her photos. Across her photo it says "text SEXY to 555-555-5555 for a introduction video of Marie". So my system will receive the text, follow the keyword (which is "sexy"), and automatically text the guy back with a short & cute little video of you showing off your body in a bra & panties and verbally giving him the phone number to contact you at. (Surely guys would want you even more if they could hear your voice and know you are real)
Now on my end, the system setup that I have is then able to *immediately* send you a text/email/phone call saying "someone at 999-999-9999 is checking out your ad right now, call them" and you can immediately call them on the spot and ask when they'd like to book their appointment. Or if you don't feel comfortable calling them, then just send a followup text message. The guys would have no possibility whatsoever of finding out your real name, because the phone number wouldn't be registered in your name, but rather I personally would be buying the phone number for you, with my business name. You would not have any direct tie in with the phone number. Hell, you wouldn't even have to give me your real name either, as long as your PayPal account that you are paying with has your stage name on it then that's the only name that I need to know you by.
Then, you can also add them onto your list of people to notify when you have a special going on. Lets say it's Sunday night and you've had a shitty weekend and have a big fat goose egg for your weekend dollars, right? So what if you could send out a text message to ALL of your previous customers letting them know tonight is half priced, and the first guy who responds will get the appointment.
Of course the specials that are offered are entirely up to you, but if business is slow and you've made squat, then half of your normal prices is still better than nothing, right?
But the point is that they'd be at your fingertips, when you want them. All you do is send a simple text message informing them what your special is that night, and bam, instant business.
I thought it was my turn to try to give back to the community.... I learned so much from these boards when I was here & actively camming ;)
Was hoping to get some feedback, ideas, or suggestions...... and just in general see if this is something that would help our industry. I, personally, happen to think that whichever first girl I'm going to pick in my area to setup on this system will be DAMN lucky and will be beating the hell out of her competition lol :) But then again, that's just me, and I suppose I'm a bit biased ;D

Interesting idea, but I think the problem with it is that so many dudes check out escort/dancer/whatever other sexy job ads just to see pictures of hot chicks and don't necessarily have any intention to buy, so girls may be wasting a lot of time texting/calling these customers who just wanted a free video.
It also really changes the dynamic of how this industry tends to function, with ladies advertising and men being the ones to contact them if they're interested in the service. I'm curious as to how turning the tables and having the girls be the ones to contact them would turn out. I think it might turn off a lot of potential clients who highly value discretion, but I could see it increasing volume.
Definitely interested to see how this will work and affect the industry!

"so girls may be wasting a lot of time texting/calling these customers who just wanted a free video" -- good point! But let me ask you, aren't there print/online ads from these girls that are behind a credit card secure area (or other type of membership area)? Meaning these special ads could be placed in "premium only" advertising places where the guys have a much higher conversion rate? Just any place other than free and out in the open, like backpage which probably does attract a ton of freebie seekers.
As for being worried about scaring potential customers off, that would be up to the individual girl how she wants to handle it. Maybe she'll only call back phone numbers that she recognizes. Or maybe she'll just respond with a text, instead of calling. And there's always the option to once they become a customer, just simply ASK if they'd like to get updates when you have special occasions or whatever. I imagine plenty of the guys are married and don't want you to reach out to them, and that's totally fine. But I also imagine there are plenty who are alone, and would be thrilled to get updates when you are "thinking about them" ;D
