Grandfathering: When I see this in an ad I feel like I being punished just because I'm not an existing client or member of the frequent flyer program being offered. I pass! The provider is doing something nice for her existing clients but whats she saying to any prospective new clients?
Multi Hour Minimums: When I see this I think what the hell? 2,3 & 4 hour minimums? And then their face isn't in the show case pictures? Why would some one want to spend that much money on a first meeting to find out if your a good fit? The reasoning is always that they want to get to know the client. Well how about spending a little time on the phone?
15 Minute Appointments: This one I don't understand! What's next a drive threw? I'll take a blonde, 5'6" C Cup BBBJ with three positions. "Would you like a hot apple pie with that?" Sure what the hell!
Let's here it!

I certainly apreciate grandfathering when I'm on the grandfathered side and it just makes a lot of sence. Why would any business person treat a new client better than a good repeat client? My barber grandfathers me. My dentist to some degree. I get extra consideration from the hotels I stay at a lot and the restaurants I frequent often. This is really no different. I'd be much more upset if a person posted "Hi! I give special rates to people who have never spent a dime on me and to make up for it I charge my best repeat customers more."
Multi hour--I think it's just part of a lady doing her marketing and focusing in on the client types she wants. If a lady is after a client base that doesn't inlcude me, fine. I'll find some I do mesh with.
15 min appointments: agree with you there, I can't fathom it but it's like the multi-hour thing--a different business model. Not my thing, so I look elsewhere.
