Each to their own and all that but I see no reason to increase or decrease our rates.
I have noticed some in locations where I tour have increased their rates only to put them down again 2 weeks later which sends all the wrong signals and will just increase the number of bargain basement punters.
I feel the same. I have no intention of dropping my rates and I do think it can send out signals to the cheapskates and boundary pushers to try and take advantage if they see the reduction as desperate times.
I put a little extra on my 30 mins when I first went back just to encourage longer bookings as I was very low volume then by choice and it worked but have put it back to normal rate now even though I did have a few guys willing to pay the higher rate.
I couldn't cope with all the whining and moaning if I were to reduce rates then want to go back to original prices either.
We're all facing our individual challenges during this time so guess we just have to do what we feel is right for our own particular business model.
