My pricing is at the upper end for my area for short bookings and relatively cheap for longer bookings therefore, I get smaller numbers of longer bookings across the week, so numbers of clients don’t need to be high. There is volume, then there is overall profit compared to costs etc
This week was dead as a dodo for me but the weekend has picked up massively so I’m happy. As a result of the above strategy I’ve come to expect this now though, really not being able to predict my schedule. When I focused more on shorter bookings then the general pattern of things was easier to ascertain .
