Ads -- Requesting Feedback on Do and Don'ts Please

[xo_kathryn_xo]

Given some of the recent threads on backpage ads, was wondering if maybe you guys would be willing to give advice on some things you like to see and things you really don't like to see. Having a bit of writer's block and any ideas and thoughts would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kathryn,

I may not be your typical hobbiest so take what I am about to write accordingly. On the whole, I do not see ladies from BP very often. I don't get to play very often and history has proven that there is a very good chance that I'll be wasting my money and time using BP. As for the wording of ads, I am really turned-off by the "Come and get it" attitude of many of the ladies. I may be one of a parade of guys for her today but I want to feel like the only guy in the world and that starts with her ad. I find myself more attracted by an ad the implies exclusivity and quality over quantity. Words like "low volume" and "part time" and the need for screening indicate to me that the lady is more likely to be a safe, high quality provider. Like I said, I am probably not representative of most men here but it's the way I feel.

Katherine,
It really depends on your target market.
People who surf the BP are clients who prefer short notice scheduling or has a momentary urge they need satisfied sooner rather than later. Also, the selection on BP are more diverse, and constantly changing. CERB on the other hand is a more matured market place, meaning more well established. Nothing to do with age specifically.

The words you choose will be determined by who you want to attract. Let's take for example:
1) No Restriction
2) Clean and Safe

Will 1 or 2 attract the same market segment?

So not much a question of Do's and Don'ts, but more of who you Will or Won't want to see.

I agree with the above - BP is really hit and miss & most ads there are terrible; your ads should speak directly to the market you want to attract. Don't know that you need to change much: your ads already stand out in a good way and the words/pictures will appeal to a certain type of client. Is GP done?

Thank you guys very much for the open and honest feedback, much appreciated . Lea came in today and her and Lexi helped me with my writer's block.
I appreciate the feedback on the sites as well, backpage is really not my favourite site for advertising, but the some of the girls prefer to be advertised there and I always abide by their wishes. In answer to your question, birddogs, GP had to go on a bit of a hiatus due to some personal issues I was having but now that the dust has settled (so to speak) I have recharged and am infusing new life into my dream of an independent based agency. We are starting back on our old schedule this week, you can PM me for details or send me an email.
