Modern and sensual: The new Massage 123
After a good seven years, it was time once again to revamp Massage123's visual appearance and simultaneously renew its technical foundation.
We opted for a more open design that offers more space. Understandably, this looks better on a tablet or laptop than on a mobile phone, where screen space is very limited. Nevertheless, great emphasis was placed on ensuring comfortable operation on mobile devices.
At first glance, the modernized logo should catch the eye, followed by the harmonious new sandy and earthy tones, which are also found in many massage parlors. Furthermore, the following points are among those that are new or have been improved:
- Special filter lists
Accessible via the "Filter" button above the lists. Currently available filter lists include: Offers from men for men. And, because nowadays not only men but also women seek a (sensual) massage: A list of offers specifically for women. There is also a new list of certified Tantra providers for those seeking authentic Tantra experiences, where practices adhere to the guidelines of Tantra associations. Business Listings: The existing business listings are now more prominently displayed and can be accessed via the link in the header, which is always visible. As a reminder, business listings are for massage therapists and other business-related inquiries, such as offering or seeking jobs or premises. Business listings from other markets are now also displayed in the list, so that, for example, on our Massage123 page in Spain, you will also see business offers from Switzerland or Germany (and vice versa). You can create business listings as before in your advertising account under "Listings." When creating the listing, select "Business Listing." Hot Listings are also now featured at the top of the regional pages. You can book running listings as "Hot" listings for a few hours. This means they appear in the top block on the homepage. Previously, they were highlighted on the region pages, but embedded in the regular list. Now, they will also be displayed in a separate block at the top there. - Limiting Selectable Services
When creating a listing, a provider can select which services they offer from a predefined list. Unfortunately, some are very liberal with their selections, choosing services they don't actually offer – simply to appear on as many lists as possible. We now need to counteract this technically, based on the principle: "Offering everything means offering nothing." A visitor won't be happy if a provider says they offer "Shibari," for example, but then doesn't even have the equipment on site. Such situations increasingly lead to complaints. To strengthen the discipline of advertisers and their focus on their primary services, users can now select a maximum of half of the available services. - No Watchlist
Although a watchlist is desired by many visitors, its implementation has been postponed for the time being. The fundamental problem is that listings, in particular, are not long-term and disappear after just a few days. Therefore, "saving" a listing would only be useful in the very short term, and a listing would be removed from the watchlist after it expires. Is this acceptable? - No Interactive Map
Another frequently expressed wish is to display the listings on a map. The difficulty here is that many providers do not want to publish their exact address. Without an address, placing a pin on a map is also not possible. One could simply exclude those without an address, but that would be somewhat unfair to those who, for perfectly legitimate reasons, do not want to or cannot publish their address. - Announcement CashToCode
We are currently preparing to offer another payment method for advertising: CashToCode. To top up your account, you go to a kiosk with a QR code generated by us, pay the corresponding amount in cash, and the funds are then immediately available in your account. In Switzerland, this is possible at all K-Kiosks. The service is also available in Germany and Austria. Activating the service is a rather lengthy process; we hope it will be completed in the next few months and the payment method can be activated.
Even after the launch of the revamped M123 portal, we will continue to work on optimizations. Certain glitches only become apparent during live operation. Should you encounter any errors or problems, please contact us using the contact function in the footer.
