I disagree with you on the age and size thing. I'm older than you and I stay busy at a higher rate. Our mutual friend is both older and bigger than you and is busy at a higher rate.

Wherever I am, I look up women in my age bracket and there are always a few who charge below average rates. What they all seem to be have in common is an air of "I'm not worth more."

Few punters will pick Escort B over Escort A if they genuinely fancy A, just because she's ?20 cheaper. Those that do are probably not the sort we want to see. "Well, I wanted to fuck that hot young size 6,but I can't afford her so guess I will shag this old bag, instead."

There are usually a few who charge the same as or more than I do. They generally exude confidence and seem "worth it." If the grooming, the photos and the wording convey something special, the punters will be attracted.

Hahahahaha love this xxxxxx
I couldn't sell myself for an hour for less than 200 anyway.
You know what!!! I don't think it's matters about anything other than what WE want to put our prices as.
Size age and whatever else isn't relevant. We are in control and we decide what our prices are at the end of the day. If people come then they're the kind of people we want. Rich gentlemen with class lol.

There is a lovely lady within a couple of miles of me (who I know personally and she is in my age range 3 years older but looks good) she charges ?30 h/h and ?50 per hour less than me so punters who like the mature escort have the choice of both of us as we are in such a close proximity.
I could have lowered my fees to compete with her but why should I when I'd rather see a punter who wants to see ME and is willing to pay MY fee.
With some punters is all about the cost but with other punters its all about the indivudal escort and these are the punters I have.

This is true Helen, but I do think your business plan drives this to a certain extent.

I have a financial goal set (well several actually) and I need to hit my targets in order to finance my house move within the next 4 months. So if I find my phone is dead at a higher price then I will reduce my price until I get enough bookings. I'd rather do 6 bookings at 100 each than hold out for 150 but only get 2.

I don't think it works out quite like that. If you market right, you'll get 4 bookings at 150 and very likely 6.

When I put my prices up, the phone didn't ring less. I simply made more money.

To be fair, that's all very well when you're touring and only in a place for a few days or a week. I don't think it works to conflate two different ways of working when a punter who wants to see you can either pay whatever you ask within those few days or potentially not get another chance (as opposed to being in a base location and there all the time, if you see what I mean)?

I don't have any need to put my prices up because I have miniscule overheads and want to encourage repeat business because it minimises hassle. Plus I'm perfectly happy with what I earn and if I wasn't I'd just do more bookings

I agree with mature Helen and fabulassie age and size has nothing to do with prices experience far out weights size and age so yeah put the prices up if you want seriously every thing else in life has so why not this industry

Whereas I can only manage a low number, so want to make as much as I can on those few bookings.

Fabulassie, your post is very relevant under this particular thread. Sorry, I don't remember if you added anything on this?

True VC if you need the money for something you are aiming for that makes sense its better to be busy and earn if you can take the foot traffic, we all have to find our 'Sweet spot' I work from home and my outgoings are small and for discretion this means two bookings a day maximum, an extra ?20 an hour means I could possibly earn an extra ?200 a week I know this may be small change for some escorts but it's great for me. Its always horses for courses if I wanted to or was able to work a higher turnover then hell yes I'd drop my price to a price that got the phone ringing and punters coming.

I definitely agree that physical factors have nothing to do with anything - there's work for everybody. Somebody who only fancies 6 ft blonde teenagers aren't going to to book me no matter I charge (and I wouldn't expect them to

) but the reverse is also true

.

Marketing is the key thing as far as I'm concerned. Then once you've got them through the door, making them want to come back

According to the Questions and Answers / Re: Escorting / stage / marketing age and "real" age (another thread on escorting age), there are two schools of thought. 1) If you are escorting, younger the better and you ought to fake your age to attract more clients. 2) No, age doesn't matter.

That's why I tour: I hate regulars.

I put my prices up as I am effectively 'fresh meat,' but I have no plans to increase until after the summer and even then, it will depend on a whole host of factors.

I don't want to be greedy. I find myself sometimes getting into the mindset of ' Oh I could increase by x but then that's just greed as I am happy with what I charge. I now have to see fewer clients to make a good profit.

I'm not planning on changing that.

When I worked from my work flat I charged less but I didn't have touring overheads and relied on the repeat business.

Luciexx · « **Reply #103 on:** 16 January 2017, 06:17:25 pm »

MM, I don't wish to sound rude or anything, but you stated over another thread that your rates are much higher than average, already, as I recall?

There's a difference between 1) people raising from the lower average / mid-range to average /"a little" higher than average in Northern Counties 2) people who have ALREADY achieved a higher rate / those contemplating on raising from an already higher range in wealth-ridden Southern Counties. We are talking about two different categories. When I started this thread, I had never thought of people who already achieved a higher rate, to be joining in but I realise I was a little naive...

I am not planning to increase any rates for this year. Altough I am not new, I had a break of few years from the industry and just come back almost 4 months ago. So I would like to build a client?le and besides this is a part-time activity.
Actually my webdesigner was insisting that my rates are very reasonalble and for London I should be at the ?200 bracket... Nevermind... I keep it 170 on my site and for aw I have a reduction to 150...
Let's see how it goes then1
