Economics, demand and price point.

Dear London:
During your analytical study of demand and price point, I am sure that you did studies on how much you can charge without losing to much revenue. As you started to raise your prices you probably still had the same frequency and demand that you had at a lower tier. Also you replaced certain types of customers with other customers, who happened to have more disposable income and could see you more often.  Then as time went on, you started to make choices with respect to advertising and marketing which put you in a certain tier of provider. Henceforth your price point combined with your marketing strategy put you in another tier altogether.  Then as you entered the world of cyberspace and you really started to learn what was considered you fare share for your wonderful derriere then you adjusted your prices in accordance to the market rate say plus 10 percent so that anyone with a chance to see you locally couldn't. Finally you learned that there was such a thing as reviews. Once they learned that you were all that and a bag of donuts then your demand went up even higher.  As you price point went higher you could be more discerning. Henceforth, as you said you could see maybe three guys within a short period of time and be good for the long haul because along the way you have acquired "Sugar Daddies".  Not only are you educated but now you have learned to have more game than a NBA hall of famer and it is paying off infinitely.  Also geographics have a lot to do with it to because what is the market that you are advertising to and what is the maximum price that they will pay before you start to see diminishing returns on your investment.

If a woman is seeing over 5 guys a week, she can easily raise her rates and work less. I don't buy for one second that everyone would fk 4 guys a day for peanuts if they could see only one, and make bank.  

I recently increased mine, because I am getting a full time job in September and moving to a new area where there are lots of rich men. Now, no clue how to get to them, but they are certainly around lol.

I'm with you. I'd raise my rates if I started getting more session requests in a week than I want to do. Work smart, not hard...

Some of us prefer the less stratospheric tiers anyway. In my book, some of Boston's hottest can be seen messing about in boats

I agree with hot women in Boston though, but most any water community has a ton of hotties aboard a boat. In south La. the crappiest places on the Bayou, seem to house the hottest (broke) chicks. Hell, even the hotties I remember from high school were mostly from the trailer park.

Most Providers I've seen have never raised their Rates on me. From the first Session I've paid they stay right at that price. My current Provider is very flexible about her Rates. But I never pay below the first Session price. I've heard some things from my current Provider about some of her long time Regulars that try to low ball her on her Rates.

If your demand is high and your supply is constant altering the price may not make a difference... I loved my economics class can't you tell?

And you are overwhelmed with the amount of business you are getting.  Then it's time to raise the rates.

If memory serves me correctly, I think London mentioned raising her rate in her areas to exclude a certain group. Some ladies will do that or simply to reduce volume as well.

A former boss of mine had a method for setting price. He figured that he should lose about a quarter to a third of jobs he bid on because his price was too high.  

When I went on my own and raised my price for the first time, I found myself working less but making more profit. No reason it would work differently with providers.

The downside is that, if business gets slow for various reasons, it's hard to shake that perception of being high priced. OTOH, that perception also affects the perception of the product. Someone will pay the price and come away from the transaction thinking that he really got something special, simply because he paid more.

Being able to discern good timing based on how things evolve around me.. Also doing research, asking advice, thinking about goals in time, finance, and kind of clientele.  

Certain types of med look for ladies above certain rates, and different rates actually make a huge difference in the kinds of men even contact me to begin with. I feel safer at a higher rate. Won't be in the really high rates tho. Not a porn star or VS model lolol. :D

You don't have to be a model or Porn Star to charge above 300...as if lol. Half the women who command such rates are NOT either of those, and most are over 35 too.  They charge that, because they can...simple as that. If we could all get 2k a date, we would be. We know we can't get that rate by trying, and then the phone rings or stops. When I started in 2008, I was at your rate but did not offer GFE or MSOG for that either. I would never offer msog for less than 400, so the boys should be thanking their lucky stars for women that do lol.  

I was higher volume, and could not stand it...when I say high volume, that was like 5-7 guys a week, which some would laugh at being too much.  As years passed, got more reviews, got a SD, finished school, etc. I inched up a little at a time, always keeping past clients at the rate they paid the first time. I just went up again, and if I can't get 1 client a month at that rate, I will have to either lower it again or do something else.

I was at equilibrium before I went up, but decided I wanted to work even less when I move to Fla. So, we shall see. Charging what I do/have in the past, had nothing to do with anything other than trial and error, and realizing what is going to work. If you never try to get 500 an hour, you'll never know if you can.

That's definitely out of my realm.

Above $300? I am currently easily booking at that rate.

Never thought about the MSOG. I pretty much do anything if I'm comfortable and get stuck with days where I can't see more than one person because they schedule 2 hrs of non stop banging.

That'll keep me out for a while, lol.

I get what you're saying, and I think there was some misunderstanding there. Very high to me is $900+.

The city has a place in rates as well. I honestly see $500 and say to myself, "One day I will get there." But, that will happen when I go lower volume. I would only do higher volume when I need to rack up some dough to get surgery lol.

I would ask someone to shoot me if I ever had a guy who wanted to do that. There is no way on this planet I could physically deal with that. The ladies that can handle that, I am in awe.

Seriously there is no way I could go through with it. When my pussy has had enough I switch it out and do other things.

Um, yea...don't think so. Y'all wonder why I have a size restriction, but I would not even fk a small guy for 2 straight hours...as if. The men who contact me are not into that shit, and they know I am not that type of hooker either. It saves both of us some hassle to be upfront lol. On a 2 hour date, there is still only about an hour and 20 min. of actual play time...at least, that has been my experience, and that's still not "fkin" but a variety of other things, including a break.
