Josephines - Price Hike !!!

[Roshelle K]

Just to let you guys know, here are the new rates posted by Josephine starting on Monday October 4th:

30 minutes - $45
60 minutes - $80

Apparantly this is only temporary so that us paying folk can pay for her renovations to the MP. Yeah Right !!!

Bastards! Oh well, maybe this means less competition to get an appointment with Sarah.

 

[alienist]

Temporary? Oh ya.... we are still paying some "temporary" taxes.... anyone recall which one was temporary?

 

[gunning4u]

Sheik, are you referring to income tax, introduced by the Federal Government as a temporary measure to fund the war effort during WW1?

 

[LALA13]

It really has been a loooonnnng war, hasn't it? Only the enemy has changed a long time ago, it is called the Government!

 

[cheyenne]

You got it Ginger

No more 45min sessions at Josephine? that was always my favourite length for a session. Figures she hasn't updated her site yet.

As far as I know NO tax has ever been reversed !!!

This is supposed to last like a week or two, I think that a vacation is in order for that time, at least from this MP.

I believe the prices outdistance the quality of that facility now.

Shit talk about bad timing... I was just leaving the office to go over to see Sarah for the first time in over a month, but based on this, I think that I would rather spend my money elsewhere... At those prices + the tip, I can get a excellent 1/2 hour at TOG

Jospehine's can consider itself boycotted!!!

Josephine's $45 door fee for a 30 minute session has now surpassed Allure, SRM, and HFH, and now is right up there with Silhouette's. From the web pic's, Josephine's facilities are nowhere near the class of the three I mentioned before. Even after the rennovation's, I don't think the prices will come down unless their customer flow is serverely affected.

 

[Freeze Frame]

I'll take my money elsewhere not worth the price hike in my opinion.

 

[Jen[Minarets & Sunsets]]

I'll vote with my feet on this one . The feet will be going elsewhere while this "temporary" measure is in place.

Thanks for the notice VBB.

As I've said before, if an organization makes "a business decision" to raise prices, we can make a business decision to STOP GOING...

Just as King Arthur wielded Excalibur, I believe it's time for all of us to wield the "Power of massageplanet.net" ...

Once Josephines business drops off they'll have NO choice but to adjust their prices ...

When I was married I should have tried that one with my boss:

" I want a raise until I pay for my new roof ! "

Yeah, right...

 

[Angel D]

PS>> you should know that in my business life I deal with this stuff every day... Software companies are the worst, raising prices whenever it suits them then claiming higher overheads....

I had some clown in Colorado today tell me he didn't want to discuss terms of a $100K deal coz "it was a waste of time..."

I told him INDN_LOVER was the client and since I was cutting the cheque I'd tell HIM when it was a waste of time !!

... if you stick to your guns they don't have any choice but to work with you in a constructive manner...

 

[Jolley]

I decided to call Josephine's to check this out and spoke to Josephine...who told me that it was $45/session. OK...

At first, I think...nothing has changed $45/45minutes...

But I asked her how long a session was I was told that sessions last 30 minutes, but only while they are doing these "renovations" to the spa. She says that depending on how busy the place is, the sessions may last 45 minutes.

Then she asks me if I am from one of those chat boards.. I tell her that I did read it on the chat board. Then she tells me that
she does not accept any customers from these chat boards.

So all you massageplanet.net members... you are not welcome at Josephine Spa... Take your money elsewhere....

 

[morbidlybeautiful]

Ha ! What a load of crap !

She knows that the boards bring in most of her business, if I got paid for every referral/PM that I have replied to over the past year alone it would pay for a whole new building !!!

I may just have to raise my rates:

T $30 - but dont touch my nipples they are sensitive ... oooh
N $60 - but dont touch the doggie, and such a good doggie !
NR $90 - I dont lie down but you can massage my shoulders and stinky feet.

Sorry I dont do BS, the other meaning.

One word .... BOYCOTT

I was there today and didn't notiice any difference until i read this post. Looking back I think the attendant asked me if i wanted the $45 dollar session and not the 45 minute session though.

I was in the room at least 40 minutes, probably 45, session didn't seem cut short at all. I don't know if that was just my attendant or the spa. J herself didn't book me.

If it is 45$ for the 1/2 hour I'll also be boycotting
