Will you be increasing your price after NY? If so, how much more?

[Luciexx]

Hi,

VC encouraged me to start a new thread on this.  I have been itching to increase the price but I have not done so for a range of reasons.  But the main is my own fear of upsetting an apple cart, e.g. possible loss of nice enough regulars.

Also, are there escorts offering differently prices for different themes e.g. Standard GFE, PSE, PSE plus, being a Mistress /Domming?   This was something I did not think enough of previously. Currently, my price is very much "average", not low or not high.  Some clients have been quite demanding and I felt I should have charged more though they do return.  Occasionally, I charge ?10. on top but even that, my price is still very much average.   Are you increasing your price?   

I would also be interested in hearing from escorts who charge the higher fees as to at what point or what made you decide to up your fees?

I am currently on the low side for the majority escorts in my area, however I'm on a par with others in my age and size bracket.

I do have quite flexible pricing in that I'll lower it for a day if I'm not getting enough bookings and need to make a target. I will put it back up when I've filled my appointments. I also reduce the price when I'm touring certain areas as the accommodation costs are so much lower (and again it's in line with similar escorts in the area.)

I guess I will probably follow suit with what other providers in my area do. If everyone else puts their prices up, I probably will too.

Last time I tried increasing my prices, I found I was completely dead and not getting any bookings at all, which doesn't suit my business model.

VC do you find that after you've put your prices up again the next day people will call, check your rate and when you tell them the higher one they say "well yesterday I saw it was ...."?

What price do you then honour? This is something I'm considering doing at the moment but don't want it to be too confusing for guys seeing different prices at different times (whilst remaining in the same area)

[Luciexx]

I often get the impression that you are a popular lady in you don't mind me saying so, VC.  The problem, as far as I can see, if you have a tendency to lower your price as soon as it goes quiet, punters will only wait till the price gets low again, not that I know often you lower the price.    Having said that, if you are happy then, that's the main thing.      Thank you for sharing.

I bit the bullet and upped my prices by ?10 half hour and ?20 on the hour for all new punters mid November, I kept my regs on the old price but told them come 1st Jan everyone will be paying the new price.
They cant complain because my prices haven't gone up in 7 years and back then I wasn't offering kissing OWO ect which I'm offering now.
Its not affected the of amount of  new clients I get as I am still in line with other escorts in my area, my regs will either accept it or risk their money searching out another escort who will give them the same level of personal service I give them. Its up to them but I think they will accept it.

[Luciexx]

Thank you, mature helen, that's so reassuring.  I might consider that, keeping my regulars happy, though I have a couple of them a little demanding. . . Which is another story, I guess.   It was lovely of you to share.

Personally, I wouldn't change my rates from day to day as I think that would just confuse punters; I'd perhaps use a 'special offer' if things were slow.

I think January is a really bad time to raise your prices, as many people feel skint. I'd do it in April/May or September/October.

If there is a clear delineation between the two services, I think it's fair enough to charge 20-30 more for PSE over GFE, i.e. the latter does not include anal, facials, CIM, swallowing. I'm not sure about charging more for domming - guess it depends on how you feel about how much effort it involves vs a normal sex booking? I'd also worry that more than two price bands would get complicated, but on the other hand can see how domming could be totally different to PSE and GFE.

Might be a case of experimenting?

[Luciexx]

Thank you, Kay.  It's useful to know that it's normal to charge ?20 more for PSE.  There is another genre, called, Mix of GFE & PSE, a little bit of both.  I appreciated your specific advice which is so helpful.  Yes, I will keep 2 separate fees.  Some escorts do charge extra for strap on. Something I never chard extra for.

Yes I do a basic service so sex oral with and massage cum once that 100
If they want GFE it's ?120
If they want strap on tie and tease humiliation it's ?150
It's your livelihood clients arent loyal so do what suits you
You can always offer regs the same price but increase it for new ones

[MistressMorgana]

I upped my prices about October time when I had new pictures done. I am above average price wise and do very well.

I have in fact been busier!

I would not and don't 'play' with my prices in different destinations as I charge extras, which 90% of my clients pay for taking my rates up even higher. If I did increase any further, I think I would price myself out.

What I will do is increase prices after midnight, temporarily, and only if I am too busy. I haven't done this yet but I will do this on my next tour as I ll be working until the early hours.

Demographically, I avoid destinations where I know I am too expensive as I will not drop my rates under any circumstances. In saying that, what works for me won't necessarily work for someone else.

I should also point out that I spent a long time working for a lot less; I now charge in a half hour what I used to charge for an hour! Clients will pay to see YOU regardless of price, although they may book a half hour or 45 mins instead. I'm getting a lot of that this week on tour.

[Luciexx]

Thank you, Paris.  It seems charging system is highly personal yet, completely logical to each escort. It makes sense.   

[Caledonia]

I increased my rates a few month ago again, as when I first started for my area prices for those offering similar services and of a similar age and size rates ranged from 70 an hour to 120, at first I charged 100 but as I became known and gained some feedbck I gradually increased my rate to 120 for the hour, this was mainly because for me there's at least an hour each way of traveling and can cost me about ?20 on travel.

But a few months ago I had a look and noticed that the rates for others of similar age, size and service seem to be between 130 & 160, so I gradually increased mine again, so far no one has complained, well at least no genuine client has.

MM,

Thank you for sharing.  You must be a high class escort then.  I admire your dedication and hard work.    great advice !

Great move! ! !  Thank you, Caledonia. So reassuring.

Oh no, Lucie, I'm not but I just like to be rewarded for giving a good service. My max hourly rate is ?160. I see girls charging way more than that. Don't tempt me to put them up more
