I was wondering if there was some sort of etiquette for inviting a touring lady to your city. Most of the ladies I've inquired with just plain ignore me. The few that do respond give me the "I'll let you know when I'm coming your way hon." (Which, of course, they never do.) This even happens with ladies I have already seen. It's come to the point where I don't even bother anymore. And yet, I keep reading posts from other hobbyists who somehow manage to convince some talent to visit. So my question is both to hobbyists and providers:
Ladies, what do you prefer to see in a message when someone is inviting you to visit their city and how do you typically respond? What does it take for you to plan a trip to a certain city and what type of offers would be most likely to bring you there? This is mostly intended for touring providers but I'm open to other input as well.
Gentlemen, would you mind sharing some of your success stories? What have you done to get a provider to positively respond to your invitation and what do you think ultimately brought them to town?
