OP, Consider the Philly Mag target audience. There are no hidden gems on that list. They are all the types of places Main Line wives book for their daughter's bachelorette party spa day, or gift to their weekend warrior golfing spouses for a birthday/anniversary. A select few are referral only for Athletic Injury PT recovery - and then only accept referrals from Rothman or the pro team training staff.

imagine what would happen if Saigon did advertise in PhillyMag? Ye gods, the cost of service would triple before the next morning....and the locker room would rival the Union League in ambiance. No thank you.

I go to Hooters for the buffalo wings. I also read the articles in Playboy. Of course, I'm not dead. I do appreciate the other content, too!

Years ago, many amps and massage places advertised in philly mag, in the classified section in back of magazine. The mag stopped running the ads about 10 years ago.

And then they get surprised why their sales are down so much.

I once went to a popular spa that is reviewed on this board and there was a mother/daughter massage going on two rooms over. When the moment of truth came the provider stuffed a towel in mouth to make sure I didn't groan too loud.
