I often receive text ads from a few gay establishments announcing various promos they have for the upcoming night(s). To give you an idea of the type of messages that I receive, shown below is one week’s worth of text messages from BED, Queeriosity Palace, Fahrenheit, and Playroom. As expected, I have never received such messages from Club Bath and I think I received a couple or so from Epitome way, way before but that establishment now prefers to do their announcements on PlanetRomeo.
Here’s some trivia. BED only uses 1 number to send messages with. Fahrenheit has used 6 different numbers so far and all start with 0918. Playroom uses at least 5 numbers, while Queeriosity Palace has used a whopping 8 different numbers, all Globe. And one observation I have is that some of these establishments is in serious need of a good copywriter.

BED sends spam email, too. maybe there's an unsubscribe link somewhere in the msg, i'm wondering why i don't have the initiative to click it. hahaha. Just dropped by and followed your blog.
I always received such text promos from Playroom. I dont wanna go back there coz I didnt enjoyed the establishment
vince, you are right in stating that epitome doesnt send so much text messages because we respect the privacy of our members and guests (eg. bf accidentally reads the text without knowing that his beau goes to E? or secretary or personal asst. reads it aloud in a board meeting? he he)
but there are times we do send text messages on special occasions only..like anniversary(july) or xmas(dec) parties
and yes we only post on planetromeo through the epitome forum of the on-going promos or scheduled shows
our regular members/guests are well informed because we post the announcements on our bulletin board at epitome when they get to visit
hopefully my text messages doesnt require a copy editor (he he), its a challenge to create a precise, simplified, and correct message especially when one has to consider the lenght via text...
i hope this info would enlighten your loyal readers and fans
more power to you discreet manila!!
@travis, hope you enjoy reading this blog!
@horcrux13, PR can have its charms somehow, but I agree that the place is not for everyone.
@taurus top, thanks for enlightening the readers regarding E's promotional policy. ;-)
how do you get on the lists for txt updates? I plan on being back in nov and it would be nice to know of any last minute promos
@Jonny, when you fill out the membership form, just provide your cellphone number.
