Absolutely no calls or emails since price change

I'm relatively cheap for London  ?80/ 120 GFE so I don't think that guys think ?100 - ?120=cheap crap service

I rarely go to London but when I do visit it's very very busy

I was there in August it was crazy busy for me I could have easily carried on till midnight if I wasn't so bloody tired

But like VC said  I'm also older and so is my friend that I was with so we probably stand out a bit more

I think it's a bit of a myth that 120ph is viewed as cheap in central London. There's a lot of competition for a start, and many punters resent it when touring escorts up their prices significantly in London. There's nothing wrong with any price, but I wouldn't automatically assume that London clients will gladly stump up more than 120 an hour.

It's also a bit weird to me that the choice seems to be 120 or 150 - be novel and go for e.g. 130!

Well you can hardly blame them, can you? It's basically saying that because they supposedly have more money (and given the cost of living compared with most other parts of the UK, there's no reason to blithely assime that everybody there is rolling in it) they should have to pay more than a punter in exactly the same situation but with a different postcode?

We all love it when 'escort flats' cost ten times what 'flats' do to rent, or when 'escort photographers' charge us multiples for a couple of hours indoor shooting of what they'd charge for a wedding, don't we? Because we're all so loaded.

The price makes a difference in the calls you get that much is certainly true in my case! 

I think my profile is quite well presented with nothing too in your face or confusing and has all the details it should. I just know in myself I am undercharging myself. I also think it?s is true that some lower prices may make punters think differently, maybe this is more for AW than if you have your own profile too (something I should consider) to the point that my most recent person to put feedback stated that I was the lady in the pictures and I really do provide the services on my profile for the price! Someone else wrote something similar too. Everyone is different and I feel the price should be right for the service provided, same as when you get a massage or get nails etc. that?s just normal business mentality I guess

Is AW your only ad, SS? Apologies if I've missed it further up the thread.

Yea it is, I?ve not had time to sort out other ads and I don?t know if I would have the time to manage them all. I know you have apps to help you along these days but I?m more the cave-woman type when it comes to technology. It?s always done me well and I can?t grumble too much about it and I know I should branch out. I?ve checked out the page on where to advertise and I think I signed up to one of the sites. I never got a call from it and to my knowledge they still take money out of my account each month!

When you are quiet do you not have time then?

I did start to think that casting your net wider could help, might be worth rechecking that ad and getting it updated.

If we was not talking about London i would agree with you but working in a decent part of Cental London costs i mean to rent an apartment or stay in a hotel there usually double sometimes tripple the cost of other areas so say if someone was usually 130 an hr in a cheaper part of the country but decides she needs to charge say 180 or 200 for the hour it makes sense otherwise what is the point of going to London with extra expense.

Change your area like i said before at least an hour or more away and see what response new woman new men has on you're profile you do not have to actually go there do it as a test for 2 days or so see if it is a good idea if you spread your wings. Plus advertise somewhere else like viva could be new set of clients even though some will be timewaster pests.

The point of going to London for me is to be able to do far more bookings and make far money than I would at home, and these more than swallow the extra expense. A pretty much guaranteed 6+ bookings a day as opposed to 1-3 at home more than covers a mid range hotel and a train ticket and a lot of Nando's .

It's my choice to go there and work and if I don't want to incur the extra expense I can choose to stay at home - I don't expect punters to pay for my choices. But that said, the OP isn't touring and I think it's completely different with a home base .

It does feel wrong being at a lower price, I know I shouldn?t be there. I just don?t know if I can afford to be so quiet.

I saw your comment that your price is inclusive (which I missed earlier).  If your price is 100 and anal is included, then that's usually cheap, usually the type of price you start off with, when you are starting out to build up a "reputation".   I agree with VC and others.   I never had any more attention when I lowered the price in a quiet patch. 

Having said that, maybe, the situ in London had changed so much.  Anyone lower than 150 was unheard of/a lower end in the past.  Maybe, it's more competitions.  You would need to give at least 2-3 weeks before switching your price again.  If you keep lowering, guys just wait for it.

I do not always think because you are lower in price or lower the price it suddenly makes you busy obviously it can happen but not for everyone.

Could be so many reasons you have had you're time in the area and not enough new customers, a quiet area anyway or you are not appealing to many customers. Try different areas if you keep lowering prices customers will notice that.

I do find though some customers and this is only some that attract to cheaper end prices and some attract to bit higher end prices. I have had many customers tell me there suspicious if prices are quite low especially if the woman in the pics looks hot.

Let me try to rephrase what I said earlier:

If you compete on price, then you are mining for bargain hunters. And bargain hunters can be the most entitled, demanding customers. This is true across many industries. I remember a hotel receptionist saying that people who got a cheap room rate were more likely to complain than those who paid significantly more. I remember an article by online retailer saying that when he tried to compete on price (he sells linens), the thin margins were eroded by people complaining and demanding refunds over spurious things. I just googled "bargain hunters demanding customers" and found a great article on it: search for "Nicholas Reese Problem Clients" and you'll find it.

But, simply raising your rates won't be enough to change things. You have to figure out your niche. It's not enough to bung up some selfies of your tits and expect the phone to ring. You're competing against thousands of other escorts in greater London. You have to figure out a way to stand out. You have to package your special appeal and market it. It can be hard to do. I have a friend who is brilliant at deep throat. It's what she markets and she has big demand. I wish I were, too! But I have managed to figure out one or two things I'm happy to do that not everyone is (safe, harmless things) and I big them up. I also play up my ethnicity, my height, and my age. These key things are front and centre.

It can be harder if you're one of hundreds escorts of a similar age, dress size, and services. It may not come easy - but it's worth working on and figuring out what you can do to set yourself apart.

Great post DaisyDuck.

[ParisB]

I agree with DD
You have to make yourself stand  out amongst all the other that are similar to you
If you don't you just get lost within the hundred of other escorts that are similar to yourself
