Subtle and subconcious ways to increase tips, esp on token sites?
Hi guys, i just saw a commercial for a tv show i can't wait to watch. The commercial set it up like this: A woman in a white dress asking people on the street for a dollar, and she received zero. Same woman in a red dress and people were not only giving her the dollar she asked for, they were offering her more than she was asking. Its supposed to be on the science channel on Aug 28. I think its called Science Goes Mental. It reminded me of when i was waitressing and a co-working gave me this worn out photocopy of tricks that subtly convince people to tip more, along with statistics. I have long since lost or passed on the old photocopy, but i remember a few things. Waitresses who wore a flower in their hair on average earned about 20% more in tips. Same with servers who crouched down to eye level of the person ordering. I know a lot of them are restauraunt specific....but there's gotta be a camgirl version! If not, we should write one. I bet with all our brains put together, we can notice some trends. Whaddya say? Do you have any tips? Is anyone else planning on watching that show?
Oh, here's a random interesting link i found that is similar to the photocopy my old coworker gave me. http://www.tipping.org/tips/megatips.pdf

Something I've noticed - when I go on and am focused on having fun, I make bank. If I'm in a weird mood or am focused on how much money I want to make - I barely make anything.
I don't feel like I'm acting any different, but obviously I'm giving off subconscious cues that the guys are reading.
So I'd suggest having as genuine a good attitude as possible. If you need to do something to get in a fun mood, like dance around your room or watch kitten videos on YouTube first, it won't hurt!

I made a poster board of the sexiest fantasy men i could think of, especially pictures where they're looking right at you...you know those pictures that make you feel funny just looking at them! ;-) Anyway i made a posterboard of a bunch of them and i prop it up right behind the cam, and then i can look right into the cam and make all the bashful aroused faces that i would in real life...dunno if its affected my earnings, still too new of a camgirl to tell, but it does help make it more fun!

LOL. I do something quite the same. I am a massive Twilight fan (yeah hate me I don't care) and I play the dvd setbox on the tv behind my laptop. On silent of course. Almost warn out the entire collection by now. There are some points where I even talk to the characters on the screen and tell them how hot they are an bits where I squeal lmfao. The customers in freechat think I'm chatting to some1 in a private message an they wanna tip me to join PM too.

No shit, I wore a big, red flower in my hair one night on MFC and I could definitely see a difference. Both in holding customer's attention and tips.

Like, you mean, thinking back it made a big difference, or did you try after reading this? Just curious :)
Im gonna go buy a red outfit and a damn flower today, lol.

Re: Subtle and subconcious ways to increase tips, esp on token sites?
Its not the flower that does it. Its 2 things: 1.) setting yourself apart from the crowd and 2.) subconsciously attaching positive schemas to you (i.e. flowers are pretty and smell good. she is pretty and smells good).
But whatever it is has to fit your personality, looks, and style or there will be a lack of brand consistency which turns off customers (i.e. a goth with a pink flower would confuse the customer and he'd leave without purchasing).

No, before this post. It held customer's attention longer.

I guess it fit my look then lol. Actually, what I believe did it was the actual color red. I put it with a red outfit and red lipstick. It was eye-catching, and since then, I often wear red while camming because it pops on me and gets attention. I've long known that the two most noticeable colors to the eye are red and yellow. The eyes have more receptors to perceive these colors (the most for red), which is why a lot of advertisers use it. For example, all of the following logos: McDonald's (red/yellow), Wendy's (red/yellow), Burger King (red/yellow/blue), Taco Bell (fuschia, related to red/purple/yellow), Chik Fil A (red), Arby's (red), Jack in the Box (red). Clearly, these examples are not a coincidence lol. It's marketing, that plays on human perception. If you were to look at a shelf of books, the bindings that were red or yellow would likely catch your eye first. It wasn't the flower.

I heard somewhere that the colour red gets men aroused or something.
I have a red tshirt, I will wear it today and see if anyone gets a boner.

But if it sets you apart from the crowd, and people are attaching positive schemas to you -- then it still is the flower. (*grins*)
Yes, you can use other objects to achieve the same goal but it doesn't make the original object any lesser in value.

It's not only that the color red is eye catching for food establishments. It's actually been studied the red, orange, and yellow stimulate the hunger response while blues and greens will actually curb your appetite.
On the sales issue for camming though reds and pinks do induce a man's arousal levels subconsciously. The reason being is that due to hormonal levels at puberty a girls lips darken and become more reddish indicating to males that she is ready to reproduce.
I've noticed that I do better when wearing darker red lipstick rather than just gloss or nothing at all.

Wow, this explains why everyone thinks I look better since I dyed my hair bright red XD

Re: Subtle and subconcious ways to increase tips, esp on token sites?
Wow, great thread! I'm going to have to watch that..sounds fascinating. I smile and laugh a lot..puts the guys in a good mood.

Re: Subtle and subconcious ways to increase tips, esp on token sites?
Yeah, definitely heard about this. Something about red is a turn on for guys. It just screams sex whether its a red dress, lipstick or nail polish. Might be something to think about when you're dressing up for cam or a dance. I love this stuff.

Re: Subtle and subconcious ways to increase tips, esp on token sites?
I am laughing at the thought of logging on to SM or wherever and seeing dozens of models in red with flowers in their hair! I need to try it too.

Re: Subtle and subconcious ways to increase tips, esp on token sites?
This has pretty much cemented my decision to go back to neon pink hair. I'm planning on getting a few more piercings, too. Hello new niche.

Re: Subtle and subconcious ways to increase tips, esp on token sites?
i notice that i make more money when i wear clothes that have strange logos/quotes on no matter what the colour. for example i have this underwear set with elmo on from sesame street and i get 100's of comments an hour how much my pants are so awesome bb. but i have a very sexy red silk thong and bra with black buttons sewn on (like a secretary look) and i dont seem to get any comments at all. i actually paid a fair bit for that set and was rather dissapointed with the response it got, but my $5 elmo set gets the guys attraction.

Well, a flower is ULTRA feminine. Much like pearls and lace, a flower is something men (traditionally) simply cannot wear.

Alright ladies! After reading this lovely thread earlier today I decided to change things up and instead of going for my normally cute and feminine look I went the complete opposite direction and pretty much dressed like a fucking trucker. And guess what? I.Fucking.Banked!! Seriously! I did way fucking better tonight than I have since I started! I know ya'll hate numbers since they're unreliable, but I seriously made $160 for like 3 hours of "work"...which involved me sitting there smoking a cigar and bullshitting with everyone. I fucking loved tonight!!!
