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

[Guiltypleasure]

What about the escorts who charge 500+ an hour? What's special about them? Nothing. They're the same as us and if not then more unattractive. I don't know why having fake tits means you can charge 500+ an hour. Has anyone thought of trying that? Putting their prices ridiculously high and see if it works??

I think some of them are like supermodels with impeccable manners , can cope in the most exclusive environments , and extremely well educated, can talk about financial matters are are up to date with current affairs.

Some may be happy with a 'one off booking'

Toned immaculate and fit 'posh totty lol'

Why charge less if you feel you are worth more , I don't mind what anyone's fee is unless they're being abused .

Don't think it's fake tits though ! I'm happy with mine
And I'm not any of the above .

I don't think most guys care about luxury rooms or if you have a degree, i think ultimately it comes down to the service you offer and of course the hype around this and your reputation helps.I know of a girl down south who doesn't even have photos on her advertisement and is charging 300 an hour because of the niche services and the reputation she's gained online,she's very busy.

Yep Kdub, that's what I mean ,it is down to the service, perhaps I just feel more comfortable in a better room , I do feel embarrassed if it's a crap room , and I do well so I don't like to look like I've skimped on the room.
But that is my problem , and actually doesn't seem to bother them .

I do love getting hotel suites but the problem is I've still got that Yorkshire attitude to paying more.
"'OW MUCH?!! I could gerra mortgage for that!"

[Guiltypleasure]

Ha ha peeing self I only pay 120 a night , it's not much more than half hour and I can see more peeps , lol

I've thought about using suites in the past but as my photos are all just taking with my phone it doesn't seem right to me.

Me too, although I'll go higher if I know the hotel and location has enough to offer to make it worthwhile. I charge 120 per hour (and have lived in Yorkshire for over thirty years - before that Scotland ) and I book good hotels for exactly the reasons above.

It's wandering off a bit now, and there are threads already about hotel choices and charging high fees. The OP was asking specifically about increasing rates and it would be a shame to miss out on other people's experiences of doing this because it's got lost amongst the other stuff .

Good point, let's not derail.

At the beginning of this week I started to experiment with a two-tier pricing structure, where I've kept my normal half hour and hourly rates the same (70/120 in London and SE) but also started offering a premium service at 150 an hour which includes more specialist stuff like rimming, prostate massage and strap on.

So far have only had two takers but it goes to show that guys will pay for specialist services as long as they know what they're getting. Thanks to Fabs and other ladies on the "Extras" thread for this idea I'm going to keep this package on and refine the advertising copy.

I think that should go pretty well if people I know who do similar are anything to go by .

I really don't think punters are averse to paying for 'extras' depending on how it's packaged; I used to charge extra for anal and nobody who wanted it ever whinged about paying. I think the current lean towards offering a 'VIP' type booking as a sort of upgraded services list with a price to reflect it probably just sounds better to them than '?10 more for X, ?20 more for Y' and so on. That's assuming that there's a raft of extra services you're happy to offer for more money - mine would look a bit thin .

It depends on availability for bookings too - I think Mirror posted above that she's able to do fewer bookings now than she used to so wants to get the maximum out of each one; I only brought in my lower daytime rate after I got my work flat and could do pretty much as many as I wanted, rather than when I used to work from home and was uncomfortable doing more than a handful a week. If you're very busy with other work, studying or whatever and can only manage the occasional booking in the evening or at weekends I can well understand why you'd want to get as much as you could for it, plus it would presumably matter far less if you only got a couple a month.

I upped all my rates by on 2nd January and business is still just as busy. I did it mostly because I'm even more part time than before, I work a maximum of three days a week and on an outcall will see one client a day. If it's an incall I'll see a maximum of three.

So because of my decreased availability I increased my price, my regulars are kept on the old rate as I enjoy them. My one regular (my favourite) has offered to pay the new rate because he thinks I'm worth it according to him but I declined his offer.

I provide a lot of services already but will be adding anal to them in the next few weeks so I think my price rise is justifiable and of course my service is mind blowing! hahaha. X

Thats what I do I have a seperate tab for it and I put myself in the alternative sections as well
I include mild dom strap on tie & tease and some other stuff and i charge 150 for it compared t my usual ?120

Ive found what really worked well was that I had some new photos of myself in latex dress & thigh high boots These pictures catches the guys eye and ive got a lot of bookings from it since dec

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 different 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?

My price went up shortly after this thread came up five days before Christmas last year.  Overall, it's going fine.  I'm no longer on "average Jane" price, a little above that.  I feel that I am less feeling "used" (sold cheaply) for the bargain hunters, and as a result, I am, generally, happier overall.  VC's smart marketing for VIP price ?150/ hr does tempt me, but I'm not there yet.  I still feel I offer value for money for what I do. 

I decided that punters would go to the ones they feel comfortable in terms of the price, looks, services, location, their highly individual sexual needs.  They seem to move around a lot.  I also decided regulars can be troublesome in a long run and decided to cultivate new clients instead of clinging to old ones (See another thread on "Regulars").  I had one client whom I had seen on and off, yesterday, and he went on how much I increased my price for 2 hours.  Well, it was only ?30 increase! Don't I prefer new clients!! 

Well, this guy did put loads of weight on since I saw him last. Apparently, he has been fine dining 3-4 times each week at Michelin star restaurants and jet setting from one holiday home abroad, to another holiday home at an exotic location.  Looking at other people's fees, I wasn't exceptionally pricey at all, and he chooses to see me NOT because he wants to see me but he comes to see me for the services he wants.   I did not want to say..

Well done, all, who successfully upgraded your fees since.  My heartfelt congrats!!  This forum rocks!

Interesting topic.

I upped my rates on the 2nd Jan - its the 2nd time Ive increased my rates and Ive been escorting for less then a year HAHA!

First time I increased it was last summer (and it was the most lucrative month for me at that time). I was doing outcalls only so upped each duration by a tenner: now that Im doing both in and outcalls, I upped my incalls by a tenner and outcalls by twenty because Im trying to encourage guys to take the cheaper incall option.

This time round, this month has been pretty slow but thats mainly due to the time of the year and being unavailable because Im currently on my period. I also dont want to see loads of guys: last month I saw 7 in a day which was a first for me and I was burnt out for days. I prefer to see little and often rather then loads in a short space of time with a few days off so by upping my rates, I wont have to disappoint lots of guys, they just wont bother get in touch.

I dont plan on upping it again this year but who knows what the future holds looooooool
