Want to get rid of the annoying adverts? The answer is simple. There are 4 levels of advertising on AnimeOTK:
Level 1: (Your Level, guests and members with 0-9 posts) has maximum advertising. Level 2: (A user with 10 or more posts who has been a member over two weeks) have vastly reduced advertising (including removal of the large full screen closable adverts) Level 3: (A member who has been registered over a month and has over 50 posts, or has a special account like "artist" or "writer" sees minimal advertising. Level 4: (VIP Donators) receive no advertising.
All donators of $10 or more will never see an advert on our site again!
Those prices are awkward. Hand is the most expensive? You'd think an implement would cost more than a hand. Nifty idea though, I'd spend a lot of time at that booth.
"The price for use of hand as an implement reflects industry trends across multiple fiscal quarters correlating to low elasticity of demand when it comes to the intimacy aspect of the business. This justifies a premium when hand delivering one of our fair trade, locally sourced spanking experiences."
It´s a complex factor matrix of interdependencies, all of which gauge the experience deliver and charge higher rate for more polished experience, along with pluses and neccesary expenditures to cover the productions costs. Namely:
Bonus for optimized User Interface, resulting in more direct contact and more fluid interaction and exchange of feeling and impressions with the spanker, providing a a cleaner, more streamlined experience.
Added plus for security due to additional control mechanisms (touch and butt warmness gauging) not included with implement. Of course, you´d have to pay more for a more secure design and the additional implementation costs.
Longer required spnaking times to achieve same redness means longer interaction with spanker and more devoted manhours per customer, thus providing better Return on Investment ratio on money spent vs play time.
Aditional emoluments to compensate for the rental or purchase of specialized hardware that is not required by the service.
Increased costs of sanitization and implement cleaning to comply with minimum higyene and health safety standards, since organic matter presents higher biocontamination risks if not frequently and properly tended to.
Aditonal costs to cover for the quicker degradation and mechanical wear and tear of implement used.
Tsk - typical bean-counters. Unable to understand essential purposes of the process.
This is a service, it isn't measured in hard-outcomes but in the provision of activity. Always wanting to measure the ephemeral and put a price on it... and wondering why their revenue is lower than hers despite having two management consultants streamline the framework interface.
Also, all those boil-down terms: how disgustingly bureaucratic "They're not customers, they're end-service users" and "She's not a spanker, she's a kinetic interaction technician" or "Don't call it a paddle, it's a non-sustainable material impact resource."
Please.
This is craftsmanship, her hand costs more because of the experiance and quality of her work. In five minutes she can provide a better, more relishable feeling of sting, edge-of-pain sensation and yet satisfaction than a drone with a company handbook on hand temperature and hygiene, an associate-director approved colour-chart and an HR organogram could manage in ten.
Continue to bellyache about depreciation of materials, expenditure and wonder why her mom 'n' pop shop has twice your market share at any given event, more loyal customers, a higher pricepoint and better Yelp reviews without a fraction the overheads. She doesn't need an office in Dubai and someone telling her she could save more money getting her paddles through a hire/loan affair with an offshore subsidiary.
She charges what she does because she's damned good at it.
Skill and craftsmanship should be recognised as such.
I think hand is the most expensive because she's the one spanking you,so it is a trade off of pain for money, the less pain you want the more money (depending on what material the cat of nine tails is made of,although bare bottom costs more though so that thought is flawed)
Wow, she wouldn't have to wink at me more than once before I grabbed for my wallet.
I'm assuming that "Red prices" means the paid-for spanking goes on until the customer's behind is at least a nicely glowing, rosy red--although I'm not certain how that would be determined if he/she elected to go with "No bare bottom" under "Extras."
That concept would explain why a hand spanking would cost more than one with a ruler, since it would take longer for the recipient's rear end to achieve the guaranteed redness and might even cause some discomfort to the spanker's palm--although I'm guessing that she's pretty hardened there.
Why no price listed for a paddling or slippering, since they're obviously options, are they perhaps negotiable?
Does "No bare bottom" mean over the client's underwear, since it's listed as one of the "Extras," while not purchasing any "Extras" would result in him/her being spanked on the seat of his/her pants/shorts/dress/skirt? Would a customer being walloped over a thong brief/panty, thereby bare-cheeked in the rear but still technically attired in his/her underwear, be considered the "Bare bottom" option anyway?
This is an excellent concept, but in real life it could end up putting some of us 'bottomish' types in serious financial trouble... --C.K.
Certainly the fee for 'hand' should be higher since the 'wear and tear' on that implement is great and require a 'recovery time'. This does not imply that the other reasons given are invalid.
@ entity447b - Cat o' nine tails. A whip with hooks or tight knots at the end to break the victim's skin and cause bleeding. A very, very cruel implement that I don't agree with
Tsk - typical bean-counters. Unable to understand essential purposes of the process. This is a service, it isn't measured in hard-outcomes but in the provision of activity.
Ah, yes. Another of those New Age economicists that thinks that activity is generated from thin air by the magical force of risk investot ponies, and held together by the millions of dolars generated by friendship and cuddles, and not hard, factual results that offer a sustainable framework that is quantifiable and therefore liable to risk assesment, and that distribution and manteinance costs are legends invented by evil middlemen lobbies with vested interests. Sigh.

Well, we could probably do without them if we were allowed to merrily bypass licensing costs, state-compliant regulation permits, heightened taxes on economic activity, the cost of inspection-ready offices and implements and another myriad comissions to as many other local and state-wide bureucrats and just go out there and sell without some government grunt breathing down our necks. Because I guess it´s a moot question to ask if we can take a look at her permits and Quality Control certificates...

Like a return-on-investment model service would be fundamentally different in its workings and basic rentability if we just called it a "Magical Hand Experience". Who´s mingling with words now?

I´d like to see her try when her customer base reaches higher and proportions and the client count goes up from edge-of-the-mall to, let´s be humble and say city-wide franchise, as she´s bound to according to your service quality assesment. Assuming an average population area and a market share of, oh, let´s say 20% (because she´s, you know, that good), I bet that his redness judgement skills and physical fitness for delivery is still in mint condition after the, say, 1200th client. Supposing her hand hasn´t fallen off. No, really, if she manages that, I sign off the entire board of Spankggle and just put her there instead.

Well, excuse me for bringing the joys of spanking further than any individual or small time back-of-the-mill enterprise without the expertise and potential to reach worldwide distribution channels and hitherto untapped markets. Do excuse me too for not being able to provide for mass-scale demands and doing my best to ensure that no willing bottom goes unspanked in a global area that exceeds hers in about 10,000 to one.
I have seen things you wouldn´t believe. I´ve seen butts in flames beyonds the gates of the Forbidden City. I have spanked in places you and your hicksville shop wouldn´t even know how to pronounce. What have YOU done?
Am I the only one who is irritated that what was likely meant to be a cute spanking related picture has degenerated into an effing economics discussion?
Nelson: That's all well and good, this just, to me, doesn't seem the forum for that particular discussion. I'm sure I've been guilty of the same sort of thing myself, it just kinda irked me with this one for some reason.
