Solicitation: I Need Suggestions on Marketing TO Providers

[TheOlderGentleman]

In cooperation with a Denver-area provider, we are starting a business to provide services like transportation and call screening to providers in Colorado. One obstacle we're hitting is the difficulty of marketing to providers - lots of places to market to clients, but not so many for the ladies themselves. We have done some limited experiments with texting ads to text-friendly providers. That's had a little bit of success but the format is awkward and the amount of information you can meaningfully text is very limited, leading to a lot of confused people.

Does anyone have suggestions on how we can get our pitch out there in a non-annoying-everyone, non-obtrusive way? My partner jokingly suggests booking a session with each provider in town, and giving them a business card at the end. That would be a lot of fun, but also very expensive - looking for something that doesn't require me to be a millionaire. Thanks in advance for any insight, ideas, or constructive criticisms.

Hmmm...let's see. Well you could try putting up flyers in the places escorts are likely to be found...Victoria's Secret, Starbucks, college campuses, tattoo parlors, wine shops...places like that.

Or maybe Gina would sell you a banner ad at the top of one of these sites? There's four open slots on EB.

If you don't wanna be annoying with solicitation, your thread is already advertising IMO. Unfortunatly, most girls who want "transportation/drivers and call screening" already have pimps.

This has already been tried. Another local hobbiest has been emailing(over and over and over), texting, seeing girls for the past several months pushing his driver services recently, and he has not made a very good name for himself. I think he even has an ad on BP. But good luck with it.
