times-square

I took this photo on a recent trip to Times Square, New York City. Before reaching this remarkable place, I had been working from my laptop in a nearby hotel room. But was it bittersweet, working so closely with a largely illicit profession? Not at all.

I love my work so taking a holiday means traveling but not taking time off Escort Design. 365 days a year the support emails will be signed off with my name, Zak. I’m proud of what our small team has achieved and love hearing from users about how we’ve taken the pain out of managing their escort sites.

Many clients share my need for freedom too. The escort industry is filled with entrepreneurs who were sick of their mundane 9-5 and yearned for more control of their destiny. Our websites are an affordable way to manage different aspects of their business, including tracking bookings, marketing and enticing clients. Having hosting, domain name and website all rolled into one package makes it easier to manage your online presence.

It would be naive to think there aren’t escorts who are working out of desperation, rather than choice. My question is, should these women that are already marginalized by society be forced to pay too much and pull their hair out trying to get a site online? Why should they not be able to leverage the internet and use this amazing tool to their advantage.

Escorting is the oldest profession, being culturally and historically ubiquitous. Workers in the industry put up with minimal legal and political support by governments that seem to pull the collective wool over their eyes. I’m proud to help people manage their websites in a pain-free, affordable way. I can’t wait to serve this community for years to come. If you’re a client of mine, thanks again!

Remember you’re not alone. There are a number of organisations created in support of sex worker rights, login to the forum to checkout some of the links I’ve collected. Or shoot me an email if you aren’t a client.

Get A Professional Escort Email Address @domain.com

September 16, 2010

Why you need one

Now that you have a great looking escort site that is simple to manage (Don’t have one yet? Signup free here) it’s time to lose erotic_diva_senorita.xxx@hotmail.com and get a real email address. Getting an email address connected to your domain name eg info@yourdomain.com is a good idea for yourself or your agency. It looks good and should make clients more confident that you are a professional.

There is huge value in the branding it provides your domain name too. If your domain is newyorkescort.com and your email address is info@newyorkescort.com then every email you send will be advertising the exact location of your website.

It becomes even more important if you are frequently changing your email address. If someone comes across your hotmail address and wants to find you then they don’t have much hope. But if they came across info@newyorkescort.com then they could just go to newyorkescort.com and get in touch that way.

How you can get one

We like to keep things easy at Escort Design so if you’re a current client and want a professional web address just get in touch and we’ll set it up for you.

Setting it up

Setting it up involves creating a POP account login for you e.g.

incoming server name: server.mail.com
username: user1
password: pass123

This can then be entered into an email client like outlook express, apple mail, thunderbird or my personal favorite – use Gmail as your email client. Here’s how:

  1. Signup for a gmail account here
  2. Login and go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Accounts and Import’ then click ‘Add POP3 email account’
  3. Google will take you through the whole setup process

Marketing Psychology & The Escort Industry

September 13, 2010

Comments (0)

Recently I was speaking to someone about the psychology of marketing. To this he replied “Yeah, you have to try to convince people to signup or pay before you screw them over”. I was disgusted. But I bet there are plenty more cynics where he came from. My response was “No, you have to try to convince them to signup or pay so you get the chance to blow them away with your product or service.”

This is a fact I’ve learned from running Escort Design. Even if you have the best product, you still need to convince people to take a risk and give you a shot. For this you need marketing. Over the past year we have been working hard to make it as easy possible for people to try our service.

First we priced our websites affordably for independents and escort agencies. Next we added a free trial then at the start of this month we took the credit card requirement off the signup form. Yes, that means you can signup for an amazing escort website with only your name and email address! Basically we have continued to decrease the risk of signing up with us. Before the free trials, a client would have to risk money to try our service, then they had to risk their credit card info and now there is practically no risk – you don’t even risk time because the whole signup process takes 2 minutes.

As you can imagine, each change saw a huge increase in the number of clients who were willing to give us a shot. Unfortunately, the escort industry is full of shady ‘businesses’ who think they can take advantage of the providers. Most of our escort clients have at least one story of getting ripped off for a website or marketing service. This is both a challenge and opportunity for us. It means that we have to work hard on our marketing to convince people we are legit but at the same time, since we provide great customer service it means we stand out from the competition for more than just our design quality!

Of course, we were only able to make these changes because we had confidence on our product. We knew that if people tried our product most would stick around after they saw the value in it. If you have a crap product and tried what we did you wouldn’t have more clients, just a lot more clients knowing how crap your product is.

Looking at the wider community, it’s unsurprising many people have a cynical view of marketing. Companies redirect your support calls to India or don’t cover that problem with your electronic device because of warranty fine print. To me these are all the symptoms of a company that has their managers too far away from the front line. If the people calling the shots could see how unsatisfied their consumers were, rather than purely looking at their profit margins, they would not make the same mistakes. If a company has shareholders the problem of loyalty is even more apparent. Is the CEO going to care for you, the consumer, or the shareholder, who has the power to fire her?

Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh and other internet companies are leading the way in providing great customer service. I think it’s only a matter of time before customers start demanding this type of service and offline companies are forced to follow suit. I am striving to make Escort Design part of this revolution in customer-centric business practices. It’s time to put your consumers back to the top of the priority pyramid – it’s where they belong.

Escorts Protect Your Identity Now

February 17, 2010

It troubles me to see so many providers working hard to protect your identity by blurring your face or hiding it in photos but then make the biggest mistake of all… Registering their domain non-anonymously. Many of you may not realize but there are simple ways of checking who owns a certain domain name so if you registered your name there is a big chance your details (website address included) is out there for anyone to check.

Here’s an interesting conversation I had this morning on instant messenger with a man I assumed was looking for a website design – not too unreasonable considering this site’s name and the fact he had to add ‘escortdesignteam@hotmail.com’ to speak to me…

This is not the first time I’ve been solicited for sex, so this is a plea – next time you want to relax and cum, please don’t IM me!
