If a gal runs a very very low special say 150 do you gentlemen consider her cheap? I've had some cancellations which really mess things up sometimes when saving for a business and current bills. Would you think any less of a lady offering something as such for a very limited time?

Speaking for myself I don't see anything wrong with it.  It really is your call, who am I or anyone else to judge?  

so we know you are not "cheap" if you are in a temporary bind, a special could work well for you. Once your finances are straightened out, you can re-evaluate your rates to whatever you feel balances the budget.

"$80 specials" are typically to satisfy a drug habit, and "$50 car-dates" are usually just because she's broke and hungry...

and it can benefit you and the potential customers that want to see you.

You will likely get calls from guys you normally wouldn't, but if you don't bend your screening rules that should be fine. Many gals offer reduced rates from time to time, it's a good way to check out someone new. I think you have adjusted your rates up or down in the past how did it affect your business?

It has worked well for me in the past, i have told gentlemen  l would like to keep my review status at one new review per month. Which kindly these gentlemen have respected, I didn't realize until recently that the more reviews the better. I  just like to keep some adventures private. May change that rule around a tad now that I'm educated on how the review "game" works thanks for sharing y'alls thoughts.
 

I also think you would not be considered cheap. there are a lot of guys out there who would like to see high end providers like yourself but don't have the funds. but be sure that you do screen as there are idiots out there.

A long time ago, probably 10 years now, I wrote a long post here about pricing strategies for providers.  I know for me, I don't equate the price with the quality of experience at all.  If I think back to the 10 very vest experiences I have ever had in the hobby, 8 of the 10 were at 2 - 2.5.  In all my years of doing this I have, almost unbelievably, only had 4 or 5 meetings that I remember thinking "man, I really wish I hadn't done this."  And you know what?  Each and every time, the provider was 3-3.5.  I see who I want to see based on their personality here on the boards, reviews, menu, pics...  All things equal the ones that are a little less expensive, or are running really attractive specials, always go to the front of the list.

It's a special with a really good rate, that's all.

I have received calls when things are slow and offered an invitation to come visit. It may be better for you to call regulars first before you brand yourself with a lower price point in public.

i have found the bargain brands taste just as good as the gourmet ones..

Screening will stay the same, I'm not that desperate i have kids so safety is #1. I haven't posted on BP since i first started so hopefully most guys on here and P411-DC are knowledgeable about the screening process. But i never put it past anyone.  

Well this is most definitely NOT the case for me. I have a set amount each month i will hopefully earn to get my business started by set date. Any little changes throws that date off completely, of course i know things get in the way. But in order for me to be successful i have to try my hardest to make things  go a little smoother. An investor would make things more relaxing but in my case I'm doing it all myself. I'm very motivated to be successful
