I’ve heard of some pretty wild promotions and packages to attract customer attention, but what do you say about hookers that hand out gas vouchers for a trip to their brothel? To be frank (or John), there just are no words.
Stumbling onto this little gem whilst flipping through The Consumerist (a great blog dedicated to…consumers) set off my ‘I Can’t Believe This is Actually Happening’ alarm and…he we are.
Talk about making a splash, Reuters even picked up the story in great detail. According to the promotion:
Clients of the Shady Lady Ranch will get a $50 gas voucher if they fork out $300—worth about one hour’s worth of services—at the brothel in Beatty, Nevada, 130 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
I suppose the owner of the Shady Lady Ranch completely ascribes to the notion that one should make hay when the sun shines (or sets). How’s this little piece of customer service doing for him, you say?
Owner James Davis said he already has had to order another $1,000 set of gas vouchers because the first $1,000 were spent in one week.
In one week?! That’s some serious hay making! I suppose if you’re into this kind of thing, hookers flinging around gas coupons is top notch customer service.
Rumour has it, lube, oil and filter are extra.
