I don't think having reduced rates or summer specials will have an impact in your Winter rates. In fact, it is very common in other businesses such as hotel rates, airfare etc.  
   
 If your volume is not where you would like it to be, summer specials might help you get there. You might also get some regulars who may not have met you with your winter rates. They might even pay the higher winter rates once they get 'addicted' to you!...  
   
 Again, it does not have to been a dramatic reduction, even a 10 to 20% can get people to pull the trigger, human mind is synched to jump on a  deal - so giving the incentive might be an option.

Although we do not schedule more than one rendezvous per day, it is true that summer time in the hotter cities (Phx, Vegas) are slower than other times of the year. That is true for a couple of reasons: (1) locals leave town to go to cooler places and (2) fewer visitors come to town.  
     
  Although the thought of discounting rates for the summer has probably crossed everyone's mind, the problem is that once you drop your rates it is hard to raise them back up.    
     
  On a personal note, we usually just add some free time to the appointment as an incentive...

Since it gets so slow during the hot months, why don't more ladies offer summer specials?  Ok, thought it was worth a shot...

Then you could make appointments for 3 a day, every day of the week.  All summer long.

I get massages regularly as it helps with the stress (both with happy ending and legit), I hear them complaining summer is generally slow and they are thankful when I schedule multi-hour appointments as they get only 2-4 customers a day instead of around 6 during winter months.

Is it the same during providing? Do you see a decrease in volume? How do you increase your income in case demand is low?

I actually have talked to plenty of ladies about the rate reduction and it does hurt them more than helps. Cause on our side of things, we're always looking for a deal. Sometimes on our side, we end up arguing that if one of us gets a reduced rate, we all should. It's actually really messy. I have seen many nasty and degrading emails from men about the rise in rates. So many just avoid the drama all together. Plus they seem to have an increase of NCNS when they reduce rates. So I understand why they hardly ever post specials.

I think communication is the key, if their website has clear information on what the summer and winter dates and rates are, then there should not be any issues. I agree with you that running random specials will hurt them as people will start asking about "I though you rate was only xyz".  

I am suggesting more of say: June to September - Incall $260, October to May - Incall $300. There is no random specials, just a way to ensure that your summer is not slow. Again, all this only applies to providers that are worried about their income in summer, if you have enough demand throughout the year - don't change anything. If you are having more volume than required, increase your prices (atleast for new customers) - simple economics...

I know, that I have not yet seen a provider advertise summer and winter rates (though specials are common), would be interesting to see what happens if someone starts this in Phoenix...

oviders should issue miles for each session then when you get enough miles you can get an award booking for a session maybe.  So like a 30 minute session would issue 4,000 miles then when you get 12,500 miles you can get a free session.  Everyone could get a free coded number that your poon miles would post an account to.

Thank you for the analysis. You have given us some things to think about. This is all about creating a win-win so we love input from people like you who have experience and give it some thought!

Much appreciated!

See Bodhi, I have a sense of humor.  Btw, love the comparisons to hotels and airlines. At least it's better than burger joints and car dealerships, I think. Keep the advice coming, I need some more laughs.

Spoken truly like a person who has never run a business!!!  

Every business has something called customer feedback and survey.

Sorry mate, I have run a business for 34 years. Telling me to charge less will get a laugh.  
Of course I am open to a mentor giving me suggestions but that mentor better have first hand experience with my particular challenges, not theory based on some "I know better". And specially not from people whose motives are self serving.  

So, the survey asks.  

"If I drop my rates now,  will YOU make an appointment right now? "

I'd have to disagree. Lowering rates for new clients is a bad idea to adjust for seasonal demand. I would offer regular clients discounts to increase the frequency of their visits. That being said it isn't too difficult to get calls even in the summer months for whatever reason. Maybe the decrease in demand is followed by a decrease in supply for girls who aren't tethered to the area? Escorts flow in and out of cities for large events, so I'm guessing similar movement is possible for long term fluctuations as well.
