Having a busy schedule means planning our week out in advance for most of us, and thankfully most Agencies post their schedule up at the beginning of the week, however theres never an exact time. Im Curious if any agencies would consider starting a locked thread simply called 'New Scheduke Notification' that people like me could subscribe to, so that when they upload the new week's schedule, theyd simply post a one word post into the otherwise locked notification thread, then all thread subscribers would receive an alert notification and plan accordingly? It seems pretty easy to me, just wondering if anyone's considered it.

This is a great idea. Folk like me have noticed pattern times for agency posts but yes sometimes it does vary. Great idea

Would they post in the thread when they start to update the schedule, or when they finish? Sometimes it takes a couple of hours (or more) to update the entire schedule.

True. Id think with the initial post, it would encourage staff to get their hours in early. Setting it up would be a logistical pain in the butt.
 
Advertisers can only post one ad a day. So I don’t think this would work. They would have to choose between daily schedule posts and this one you are suggesting.
I think he's referring to the weekly schedule that is posted on the agency website.

Oh, I never thought of that detail. I mean,its not really an advertisement though, its just a notification.... I guess it depends on how things are set up on the back end
 
TBH I'm not sure why the agencies would want to do this. There's nothing in it for them. If they did this they'd get hit with a flurry of prebooking requests right after posting. They already get swamped on Monday mornings as it is. Easier for them to quietly update the schedule then let the prebookings come in more slowly.

I guess. Ive just read a lot of agencies are quiet. Personally I never used to pre-book, but lately it seems the only way to go... Maybe its just that the criteria I look for is uniquely popular.
 
The agency I watch takes all day Sunday to update their schedule. I imagine it a case of asking a couple dozen people with lives and other commitments when they want to work this week.

So if the "completed" notification was sent at 10 pm when the last girl was confirmed, I've already started my bookings at 1 pm as the girl or girls I want were posted

I don't think this would help.

I agree, and notice the same patterns. I guess it depends on how busy girls are. It would be interesting to know if girls that book their days early are getting more clients than those who book late?

Maybe but I know for me, I have a couple girls I would like to see, as well as a couple days and times that work for me.

If there is a match, I book as soon as its posted, unless I am holding out for someone I have been dying to see.
