Hmm, this is a tricky one, my rates are quite high i think, sometimes i feel bad like i'm ripping them off, but i'm always busy and most of the time have to turn down clients? and i only offer outcalls atm?!
I think it depends whether they think you're worth it tbh

I dont know figures but I think AW is by far the most used escort site in the UK, dont quote me on that though.

Again it is the area you are located in and work in.  Everything is so much more expensive in England than it is in Scotland and cost of living is far higher too so wages are higher and prossies are higher too.  So workers in Scotland cant compare to girls, say in London or South England or even in North East of England or South West for that matter.

yeah true, i think though, because london has every sort of escort possible, it can be quite competitive.

It may make a difference, but there's no way to know in advance what that difference will be. For one thing, there will always be someone cheaper than you.

If you're going to charge significantly more or less than most others in your area (not just geographical area, but what you're offering too) then it helps to have a reason.

Some are more problematic than others, like the dreaded phrase 'high class', but it comes down to marketing. 'Premium' is just marketing speak for 'expensive', after all.

I expect if you are "more mainstream", young, slim and pretty, price may make a difference.  For me it matters not a jot.

I had an experiment to offer quickies - almost nil response apart from TW's.

I periodically do a "special" - doesn't really do anything apart from maybe make my regulars happy.

So I charge the average for my "type", provide a good service and do very nicely.

I will be doing a Xmas special for my regulars - chucking in an extra 30mins to a booking - to reward them. It does tend to bring them out but very few have the stamina to stay for the extra time unless it is having a chat or glass of wine.

I can honestly for me, price makes absolutely no difference.

I work with an agency that charge ?150 an hour (I pay ?30 commission so ?120)
I charge ?120 independently an hour and recently done a discount for ?90 an hour.

No difference really.

On the day I discounted I seen 3 men - 2 x hour @90 plus one half hour no discount ?70 = ?250

On the day I worked independently I seen 2 men - @ 120 = ?240

On the day with the agency I seen 2 men - 1 hour (150/120) - 1/1.5= 180 = 300

It depends on the men, what they want, and how much they have to spare.

I'd say their attraction to you as an individual escort is probably more significant than a ?20 difference in price I'm sure most would be happy to pay slightly more to see the escort they really want to see rather than go for the 'cheaper option' and have an experience they enjoy less.
