Hi again-
Like Cat_BBW I was planning to book a hotel room for a day in my own city as I don't do incalls, otherwise. I've added a tab with info and a prompt to be in touch for more information. I haven't gotten a single nibble... It's still 5 days away (my proposed date) but I'm wondering when I should give up the idea?

I am new and don't have a big client list. I was hoping to increase it with this and then maybe make it a monthly thing. Do you all think it's worth it to take a chance and book the room (with a reasonable price in advance) hoping that someone actually bites? Or do you think I should wait until I've been around a bit longer and actually have a stock of followers officially requesting incalls?
Thanks again-

I'm still quite new to this and as yet don't have a regular client base however,  I have been booking hotel rooms on a regular basis since I started(as I don't have anywhere permenant to work from for incalls), and waiting until the very day to see how the day will pan out with bookings.  I have made sure I've booked a room that I can cancel at short notice without incurring a fee should I not have any response on the day in question.  I have only had to cancel a room the once.  I've found that most guys will leave it until the day before or early morning on the day to book, so it's worth hanging in there for the moment.

Thanks to Cat, 'Vamp and Mellow. Think I'll GFI. All down to you.

I get many more enquiries for same-day bookings than for advance booking.  It's a bloody pain because you can't plan things.  I would say go for it (if you can afford the loss, just in case you don't get a punter) - and advertise it loud and clear.  Some days you might not get lucky, other days you'll be inundated - it's the nature of the business 

I would say that 20% of advance bookings TURN UP.  I take advance bookings with a pinch of salt.

Just advertise hard and go somewhere you want to visit.  If no one turns up at least you can do some sightseeing.

And I find that 99.9% do, PROVIDED they have confirmed on the day - I get very few who don't confirm, but they've lost their appointment by ten am if I haven't heard from them. I've agreed to two short notice same day incalls (within the next couple of hours) in the last month and I was so sure neither would turn up I didn't even bother getting ready. I was right, too.

I do agree about going somewhere nice though - I've come home early from a couple of places as soon as I'd covered my costs because they were such dumps.

It's a bummer isn't it.

We all have different experiences work wise, depending on age, figure, area of the country, any number of variables.  The only thing we can say with certainty is that business has slowed up and we can no longer count on client's coming out of our ears, (or any where else, lol).

For a local hotel, get a cheap one and hope for the best.  If you do not do it you can guarantee you WON'T get a job.  Don't forget to put the green light on your AW profile.  If I do not put it on I never get any calls,  (when it is on the gallery pays for it in extra views).

Best of luck.

Same her i find 99 percent turn up ,  and confirm on the day ,  i also think it depend on where you are   
if its someone i have met before im happy to book them in advance  if its someone i havnt seen before  depending on  what time they want i will  take an advance booking  some area have lots of genuine guy some have  loads of timewaster and dicks
you cant tell untill you get there
