Yup, I might "quietly" up the price and I did it today.

Thank you for all the great input, especially around the timing, individual pricing for different services, which I have added today.  I also upped my 2 hours as it has been way too low.   

Thanks again, Paris.  Thank you, TA.  I'm not too crazy about details of prices pasted on my profile but again, it had to be done.    Since I advertise on AW, I wondered if punters could fill in the correct price according to their service choice, PSE, or Fetish for example.  The booking system on AW isn't so detailed.  Time will tell........  I wish I could just charge one price but I doubt it will work due to the clear demarcation of different devices as Kay correctly put it earlier.  I also dislike using "extra" so I added the total required under different services.  Again, time will tell.. :)

I amended as above as I was distracted earlier.  :)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having different prices for different services loads of business do it and it's often sold as luxury item or for those clients that demand the best or there time is precious

You go to a hairdresser ,  you expect to pay more for a full head of highlights than a cut & blow dry don't you. A cut a blow dry is what ?20-?30 and a head of highlights ?100 -?150
But you don't mind paying it because it's what you want

In a restaurant that offers a fix price menu steak or lobster is often a surcharge it's very rarely inc in with the lower fixed price menu People will pay it because they want to eat a nice piece of sirloin

Taxis charge more after 12 or on bank holidays  even UBER has a bloody surcharge depending on how busy they are 😄

If you book a economy flight to New York you don't expect to be in first class.  If you want to sit next to your kids or partner flying to spain with the majority of low cost airlines you pay extra for the
priveledge . Im sure that Michael Oleary who owns Ryan Air would charge you for breathing if he thought that he could get away with it 😄 and we the public could hold our breath for 2 hrs

I don't walk into Ford with money to buy  a Ford KA car but expect to walk out with a top of the range Mercedes AMG for the same price.  It would be great if I could get a Mercedes for the price of a Ford KA but it ain't happening

I could go in and on but im sure you get my point,

 
Very often  ive found when looking at other prices escorts that have one all in price for everything charge more anyway so you charging slightly less but adding extra money for certain services probably works out the same amount 

As for not wanting to using the word extra maybe  use can use words like,  its only  xxxx  for PSE which include xxxxxx or something like I like to give my clients a wide choice  of services to choose from
Make it seem that it's their choice to pay extra for services xxx

You will always get some that say oh I thought that was included but if your profile is very clear and you tell them on the phone is xxx for a GFE & that inc xxx xxx xx
If you want strap on Dom tie and tease it's xxxxx
I ask / explain this on every call and when they book they get a text ( I tell them that I will text them

When someone questions my prices I automatically say if you actually read the profile it's all very very clear what's include in GFE / Dom fetish  it's a bit passive agresive using the word Actually but it get the point across that they need to actually read shit first

Some just put  in ?100 and search  by price  but because my extras are all include in one extra price they don't mind paying it if you see what I mean

I agree with Paris and Mistress Morgana that it makes sense to create "packages" of appealing, higher value services.

I don't like to charge extras like a menu, because it makes everything prescriptive. I have to do it for anal only because I can only accommodate the modestly endowed and refunding a bit of money softens the disappointment. They know that I'm not bait and switching them.

But I have come up with a special VIP service at a higher rate and the vast majority of them are going for it.

Brilliant post Paris, thanks :-) You expressed it so well! You're absolutely right my hairdresser charges ?12 to wash my hair, if its a dry cut its just that I pay for. Same as you I offer a wide variety of services but I've always had one inclusive price, most clients don't expect everything that's on offer but others try and cram as much in as possible, treating me like an all-you-can-eat-buffet and then I'm left to spend my unpaid time clearing up after them and these are often the ones who don't even appreciate all they're they're getting. You are absolutely right too about having 2 sets of pricing, in all other service industries that's how it is and I believe its also much fairer on the clients who aren't demanding everything on the list.

The only 'extra' I've ever charged for is couples bookings and from what I remember before I introduced this and saw them at the one price I had a lot more timewasting/boundary pushing ones. Since its been an extra ?50 nobody has ever questioned it, because certain 'activities' are harder work, no doubt about it.  And yes I've seen other escorts say its no extra charge for couples but be a lot higher priced than me in the first place so it works out the same anyway!

Thank you, Paris.  You are such a sweet lady, helping us all out!  Fabulassie, do you mind me asking what VIP service would include?  I do like the sound of that!

Yes, I do dislike the sound of "menu" charing "extras" which brothels would use but it does make sense.  I looked at my price last night and my price is still quite reasonable compared to other girls who never forget to charge loads of extra services on top.  I was probably charging too little after all.

Yeah I'm sure they would! A couple of years ago to try and draw some clients in on New Years Eve and to 'get rid of' some bottles of champagne I had accumulated over the year, I put an offer on "Free glass of Champagne with every booking today" I thought seeing as its NY I could just get a taxi home....Well seriously not a single one took me up on the offer but I had 3 or 4 clients come for the drink.. not the alcohol as they were driving, but to have me wee in their mouths!!!! Unbelievable but true, they must have assumed my offer was in cryptic code or something!! Crazy lol

I increased my 30 minute rate at the end of 2015, so I'll be keeping my rates as-is for the time being.

Thank you for sharing, The Lynx.   :)
Others may know from my previous post on the other thread.  My regular / repeat clients will have the same price for GFE etc. My 30 minutes are already quite high, so no change will be made.
