Hi,
VC encouraged me to start a new thread on this. I have been itching to increase the price but I have not done so for a range of reasons. But the main is my own fear of upsetting an apple cart, e.g. possible loss of nice enough regulars.
Also, are there escorts offering different prices for different themes e.g. Standard GFE, PSE, PSE plus, being a Mistress /Domming? This was something I did not think enough of previously. Currently, my price is very much "average", not low or not high. Some clients have been quite demanding and I felt I should have charged more though they do return. Occasionally, I charge ?10. on top but even that, my price is still very much average. Are you increasing your price?
I would also be interested in hearing from escorts who charge the higher fees as to at what point or what made you decide to up your fees?
My price went up shortly after this thread came up five days before Christmas last year. Overall, it's going fine. I'm no longer on "average Jane" price, a little above that. I feel that I am less feeling "used" (sold cheaply) for the bargain hunters, and as a result, I am, generally, happier overall. VC's smart marketing for VIP price ?150/ hr does tempt me, but I'm not there yet. I still feel I offer value for money for what I do.
I decided that punters would go to the ones they feel comfortable in terms of the price, looks, services, location, their highly individual sexual needs. They seem to move around a lot. I also decided regulars can be troublesome in a long run and decided to cultivate new clients instead of clinging to old ones (See another thread on "Regulars"). I had one client whom I had seen on and off, yesterday, and he went on how much I increased my price for 2 hours. Well, it was only ?30 increase! Don't I prefer new clients!!
Well, this guy did put loads of weight on since I saw him last. Apparently, he has been fine dining 3-4 times each week at Michelin star restaurants and jet setting from one holiday home abroad, to another holiday home at an exotic location. Looking at other people's fees, I wasn't exceptionally pricey at all, and he chooses to see me NOT because he wants to see me but he comes to see me for the services he wants. I did not want to say..
Well done, all, who successfully upgraded your fees since. My heartfelt congrats!! This forum rocks!
