Posted June 5, 2018 Remember those punch cards and stamp cards we all use to get for being frequent customers to our favorite place? Well why not you ladies do the same thing? We all seem to have our favorites so why not rewarded us for seeing you more often!!!!! While talking with a nice woman last night she asked if I felt that people where backing away from the hobby and I said yes. So how do you prevent this from happening? I thought about it and came up with this solution. Why not reward the gentlemen out there for doing just that. Airlines do it, C/C companies do it, hell the grocery stores do it. So perhaps a lick it stamp card is in order. What are your thoughts? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2018 What do you propose the reward is once a card is filled? Regulars are rewarded every time they come as they deserve the best treatment. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) When I was a kid they were the S&H Green stamps, this is one of the dumbest things I've heard of yet, Mercy. I got my 1st bicycle off of those stamps, Ladies if you'll give a new bicycle too, then I can see it.

How the world works in general: products are frequently discounted or put on sale, especially low demand ones the seller cant move. Services are frequently tipped, especially when service is outstanding. Ladies here are not a product, rather they provide a service. So when the service is oustanding to the point where you want to be a regular, why act like they are a cheap ass product? Instead should you not be tipping for the outstanding service? Not to say ladies cant do something nice for great regulars, but not a punch card. Jmho 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2018 I don't know if your idea will work, but I'm always interested in licking her stamp!! Maybe instead of a punch card, we could call it a POKE card... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) We can even have a status card leveled by number of "visits" per year, like frequent flyer programs: Standard: Horny Silver: Exalted Horny Gold: Majestically Horny Edited June 5, 2018 by Bora Bora 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2018 Many years back i suggested escort trading cards cause after all how many guys here are just little boys at heart and weren't baseball cards fun? 😎 To get a lady's card have to visit her. Collect em all! Then can be sold or traded. Too bad it did not take off. What would a Melissa Sterling rookie card be worth by now ??? Or special edition "best of" card, mvp etc. A Hollander original issue! Think of it people! I kid. Mostly. Pretty much. Or not. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2018 I think some folks needlessly jumped on the OP - I think it's a fine idea. For example, after five visits, get an extra hour for free on the sixth visit (or some variation thereof). Remember folks, the reason so many restaurants/stores/ etc. have these programs and cards is not to reward the customer, it is to retain the customer. If I were a lady trying to figure out how to hang on to regulars and encourage more visits, I would be all over this promotion.

Mercy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26H_Green_Stamps If I also remember S& H Green Stamps does that mean I am as old as he is!?!?!? Say it isn't so!!!! Sorry Pnch Cards don't work for me. If I want to repeat it is because there was a certain, I don't know, I would say there was an "It" factor. Maybe our personalities meshed or counterbalanced, maybe our "Styles" were in tune. Hard to define sometimes but it isn't a free toaster. If she wants to spend some extra time I will never argue but to call up "Hey I want to collect that free hour you owe me". Seems like a real lack of class. Now the trading card idea made me laugh. Just like a bunch of little boys gathered around to compare our collections....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2018 Honestly I think this is a nice idea. It gives regulars a financial break also for myself I like repeat clients. I know what to expect from them and it is nice to know who will be showing up at my door. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done grasshopper, you are wise beyond the years evidenced in your avatar I agree. As a client, I'm "torn". I've always looking at the other providers; if I'm going to give a donation to spend time with a YL do I always want the same experience or do I want something new? Providers offering these cards are a good way for them to convince us not to try something new, to stay with just them. I've actually wanted to ask my ATF about such a program but didn't know how to do so without sounding super rude; especially because she always gives me killer pricing on the final hour with the 4 hour sessions I do. Double post because I couldn't get the quote function to work within "edit" for my previous post, and I'm not sure what the script is to type it out on the forums myself. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But right at the end of the session, going over to the kitchen. Cut open a nice kaiser roll, put on the lunch meat and toppings, put some chips next to it, and bring it over to the guy as he's still recovering from an incredible time. Now that's a man's real fantasy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 7, 2018 My view.... Every client is the exact amount of time and effort. Getting ready, pricey hotels. So asking for special pricing is not beneficial to providers. I believe regular clients should get priority on times and availability. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2018 I remember S & H Green Stamps. My grandmother used to collect them religiously. Always went to Miller supermarket here in Denver for those. Back in 50's and early 60's, Miller was the big supermarket here. I also remember about 20/25 years ago some of the AMP's were giving punch cards. when you got 5 punches, the 6th visit the house fee was waived. Just the donation to the lady. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
