Wait....what? A courtesan spilling the details on how to get good prices? WHAT IS THIS, APRIL FOOLS? Nope.
Alice's Guide to the Best Priced PartiesPlease note: your milage may vary- this information is based on what I have experienced personally, and what other ladies here at the Ranches has shared with me. You guys have known for ages that us ladies talk amongst ourselves- and i'm going to spill the beans all over the place and let you really know whats going to get you a good deal. #1: There definitely is a benefit to having an ATF and repeatingThis benefit often comes in different shapes and sizes- from extra time, to discounts on longer parties, to free party upgrades. Personally, I spoil the hell out of my regulars. This means birthday cake if you're in town for your birthday, random text messages/emails to say hello, added time on our parties, etc. Why? Because I prefer to spend my time on those that appreciate me, and on those I know I will get to see again in the future. Being a "regular" can be once a week, once every other month, a few times a year- so long as its an established habit and I know when you're coming again next, you fit into this category. Other ladies have also made comments about spoiling their ATF Mongers- such as setting them up with a free room here at the ranch, already set up with their favorite snacks.
#2: Just Be Honest, Just Be NiceDon't play games with the ladies- if you have a budget, just communicate that information in a polite fashion. Being kind will get you a lot further than trying to plan manipulative games, and pitting the ladies against each other. Please refrain from making comments such as "so-and-so does XYZ for $$$!" or "At XYZ Ranch they give me all of that for $$$ so you should too!". Each lady is an individual contractor, with her own pricing and activities. It doesn't help to compare Apples or Oranges, or in this case to compare Alice's to Bailey's. It's perfectly okay to have a list of things that you'd like for X rate, but please understand that not every lady will be able to make that happen. If you are able to come to an agreement with the lady- fantastic! If not, be polite, and go chat with a different lady. Your kindness and politeness will oftentimes precede your arrival- if we know a Monger to be friendly and personable, we are much more likely to work with them.
#3:Don't be afraid of appointmentsPut down the axe guys- I know you're already thinking 'WTF? APPOINTMENTS ARE FOR SUCKERS'. Let me explain
. An appointment does not require a deposit. Let me repeat: An appointment does NOT require a deposit. With that being said- if you're making a special request (costume, hair, makeup, etc) or asking a lady to come in when she is not scheduled/off shift, she may require a deposit. This is because 70% of the time (in my experience) no deposit=no show. I only have 2 days off each week, so if you request me to come in on Monday, i'll be here at the ranch and waiting when I otherwise could be enjoying my day off. Us ladies are human too- we have hobbies, activities, and interested outside of LPIN. Many of us, such as myself, are local and are able to accommodate requests for appointments on days off- but do require a deposit. If you're someone I have seen prior who has shown themselves to be reliable, I personally do no require a deposit. If you're someone new to me, I will then request a deposit. Deposits are transferrable to any other lady at any other Hof owned house- so if for some reason things don't work out between us, you aren't 'loosing' your deposit. Additionally, I set no minimum on the deposit amount. a $20 deposit serves the same purpose to me as a $200 deposit- it lets me know you're serious about coming to see me. Rather than stick with the old monger mantra of 'NO APPOINTMENTS, NO DEPOSITS', consider easing up and trying out an appointment sometimes.
The benefit of this to you is that many ladies reward appointments with Added time, discounts, etc. Appointments are good for us- it makes management happy, it guarantees that we will book that day, and it lets us plan out our day accordingly. This way when you arrive i'm well rested, caffeinated, and ready to have a great time.
#4:Treat your lady like a ladyChivalry isn't dead! Act like a gentleman, and get rewarded with a great deal. Opening doors for the lady, being polite and friendly, treating her with respect, etc. If you're of the gift-giving type, presents of flowers, chocolate, or a small item that you know she will appreciate are going to put the lady into a great mood. The happier we are, the better party you're going to get. This is where social media is handy. You'll be able to get an idea of what kinds of things make the lady you are interested in happy
(HINT: I LIKE COFFEE). It doesn't have to be anything big, or expensive, or overly detailed. Just a small token of your appreciation goes a long way to making us feel appreciated and valued.
#5: Write reviewsIf you see a lady, write a review. It helps us out- and it also lets the only ladies know you're a serious monger who parties. Additionally girls may give you a better deal knowing that you'll write her a nice review. We check the reviews section of the forum just like you guys do- and since there are no Monger Reviews, we instead pay attention to who is writing reviews.
#6: Listen to your fellow MongersYou guys talk like we ladies talk. Trust in the advice of the guys who have literally been there, done that, and gotten the T-shirt. They are an invaluable resource to you- do take advantage of that fact!
