Timing of Providers' Ads.....

I know there are some guys who can see a gal at the drop of a hat, but there are some of us who have a lot on their plates. We need more notification. For me, I think five days to a week is a good starting point. Originally Posted by Cpalmson

Since I'm no high volume provider I figure that a week in advance is fine. I have gotten such positive and friendly responses from the Eccie Texas men here and elsewhere that mainly want to use this board for advertising, and even better shortly I will have a brand new website with my touring schedule on it and new photos, so that will help too.

I'll post one week before I come into town to Dallas on the 18th of January next year.

I find few providers keep the calendar on their web site updated. I almost always start there when going to the web site. Even if you are not touring I like to know what your schedule is. It does me no good to try and schedule with the provider if she is not available at the time I want to visit.
