View Full Version : General talk Shop competition
I have heard from a number of the smaller shops lately that the bigger players are really trying to exert their market power.
One well known owner is known for waiting outside competitors shops and trying to scout their girls. You probably know who I'm talking about.
This is a problem for us punters. Once the larger operators control the market then they can then dictate to us punters and they also have a strong financial control over the girls. We have a vested interest in having strong competition in the market.
More competition is much better for us and we should be supporting the up and comers especially as they often offer better VFM.
I've tried some excellent smaller shops recently and would urge other punters to do the same....and then review here and elsewhere.

I’ve noticed the standard 60 mins is up to $80 at a lot of places. A few still at $70

"I've tried some excellent smaller shops recently and would urge other punters to do the same....and then review here and elsewhere. "
I think there would be plenty of us on here that don't know whether a shop belongs to a group or not unless there is something in their Locanto advert to tell us. Perhaps you could give us some advice as to what to look for?

Normally more competition leads to more competitive pricing, however in Brisbane we just pay whatever we get offered from both the shops and the MLs...

Delete original post since I am full of shit and apparently I own a shop, just cannot remember where it is.
Well, I’ll play Marco Polo and hopefully find my shop.😎😎😎
JJBeck- that is a really revealing post. I don't think I mentioned Poppy or any other shop. Perhaps she has you rattled?
I can assure you I am a legitimate Punter and as I said most punters who talk to the girls know who I'm talking about....
If we are gonna throw out statements....Are you an owner of a larger shop trying to exert your market power at the expense of both punters and girls?

I maybe full of shit like you said and no I do not own a shop. If I am wrong then sorry, have a punt on me.
JJBeck- I didn't ask you to delete your post. I would have preferred if you left it up.
Just for clarity- you suggested that I was Poppy or some other small shop owner and that we should all just keep on punting....Even though I never mentioned Poppy or any specific shops.
I later checked my messages (I'm not on this platform all the time) and had a PM from you this morning asking for specific shops and specifically mentioning that you are supporting Poppy. Then you come out on the public forum and say that I'm Poppy....Why did you do this? Were you trying to get me to say I'm supporting her too? Frankly it's a bit weird and very revealing about you.....
I'll be interested to see your future posts...

Purchase a massage shop like I did a few years ago and then guys you will understand everything about girls, tips, payments -wages -educating the girls -to be cool good and hot and please guys at a fair price
NO shop Boss Owner can control the massage Industry I know many owners' guys
Keep girls happy
They stay if a shop is popular
Some girls do not care about punters as we all know
Some are kind, caring. sexy
I Pay the girls good money to keep them
One shop boss owner never pays staff the massage fees she keeps 100% fee, and girls get the tips money only this is totally illegal under Fair Work Australia
Then her staff beg guys extra creating an uneasy feeling.
This Bogan drop kick boss owner Bat Shit Hag- parasite boss owner has a bad name in the industry employs -OLD FAT ASS Boilers LOL
If not tips the boss makes them work for fee unbelievable this owner had 7 shops OMG
Fees and styles of massage and extras all differ in shops
Tips differ
Wages differ
Massage prices differ
Are different in shops
Competition is healthy approach in this business
Financial control over girls will not happen in my shop
4053 Stafford Road
As we know girls work in about 4 shops then rotate
Girls are Moving around often looking for the best shop
I have 5 Thai
1 Burmese
3 Taiwanese
Waxing by Burmese pays girls well 50%
Brazilian
Haircuts in sexy fantasy Lingerie -my new approach to give my Thai lady more money
B to B
More fun
as I change my approach to suite your needs
but girls will move on if they do not get enough customers
A Unique experience is ok

Nice to see someone actually admit they are a shop owner. Good luck to you!
