I have created this profile because I am seeking new friends, but I also want to find a woman in the Richmond area who would have an interest in working as a professional Dominatrix. Please review my blog carefully. It will answer many of your questions regarding the value of working in the fetish, femme domme and BDSM field. This is an exciting, fun and rewarding career, and we would encourage you to speak to as many people in the industry as possible. This business has nothing to do with sex. Over the past seven years, our team of ProDommes and BDSM marketing experts have clearly demonstrated the ability to manage prosperous businesses in several major American cities. This marketing was done on a case by case basis for individual ProDommes. Through advanced client recruitment and retention programs, paid advertising, events, promotion initiatives, on-site training and daily telephone assistance, the ProDommes in our group have been able to acquire an excellent reputation and maintain superb client loyalty. Our work began in New York City in 1999, and all of the founders had a connection to the fashion industry. Our early events and client recruitment programs were focused on the old Hellfire Club. Hellfire was located in a basement, and the entire BDSM industry in those days had an underground image. Today, BDSM has become almost mainstream and the stigma of the past has clearly been lifted. Just look at the number of TV sitcoms featuring Femme Domme characters and BDSM themes. In the movies, Angelina Jolie plays a Dominatrix in a scene from "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Lucy Liu is doing the same thing in "Playback", and Elizabeth Hurley's "Bedazzled" is just a series of BDSM style role-plays. Bridget Fonda's "Single White Female" was filmed at Hellfire, and the mainstream media is also catching on. The current ads for the Mini Cooper automobile, Rolex and Heineken all feature a beautiful leather clad Dominatrix. The March 2006 issue of Vanity Fair had a two page photo spread featuring suspension bondage. As Bob Dylan would say, "The times they are a changing." All of this means that the BDSM market is far better today than it was seven years ago when the Internet was still in its infancy. Now there are far greater opportunities to recruit clients. Unfortunately, there is also a major downside. That involves greatly increased competition because so many attractive women have entered this business. Seven years ago we practically cornered the market on the glamour domme look, but that is certainly not true today. Our marketing efforts have also been setback because of the increased use of spam filters and other e-mail detection devices which make it more difficult to contact past clients. Nevertheless, these obstacles can be overcome. Our formula for success is simple. We have the ProDommes concentrate on client services, while our account executives focus on client recruitment and retention. All of the ProDommes realize that their career is a business and marketing is the means whereby a business promotes itself. A ProDomme who treats her career like a business and works with us to pursue an astute long term marketing program will reap the rewards in terms of financial success. The basic program involves an active marketing campaign to recruit new clients and to seek repetitive business from past clients. BDSM is typical of many small businesses in that 20 percent of our database in a given market produces 80 percent of sales. We want to maintain excellent relations with past clients and we do not want to spam them, but staying in regular contact is essential for repeat customers.
