If guys simply aren't available during the holidays it may not matter if you offer a discount or not.  Best of luck whatever you decide.

Marvelous idea indeed! let's start a tradition and call it Pink Friday (or whatever color most associated with the hobby). Or better yet Pink Week. Or Pink Month ;-)

She is saying she has a smaller pool of gents so a discounted price very well could spell more sessions for her during that time as some guys will write off the holidays not just for availability but for pricing as well.

Me, you might ask?

I'd offer 45% off and settle around 35% or so. :D

Fuck that.  Now tell me whether you think it's actually good advice?  Anyway, what are you worried about? You weren't going to see her, were you?  Don't worry.  Plenty of fish in the sea.

I actually like Robbin Young but some of hers are blatant as hell.  Not that there's anything wrong with that! LOL!  And on the "Robbin Meter" I'd say the OP isn't even close to 5 out of 10.

A few clients told me they will be with family/SO's for the few weeks surrounding the holidays. I'm thinking of doing a pre-holiday promotion, maybe 25% off or 3 hours for 2.  
   
 Thoughts anyone?

Robbin is amazing. She's had a couple lately, especially one on the LV board I think, that were priceless. She's got little if any shame. LOL.

You gave her something to consider but didn't say you would do X or Y if you were her. It makes perfect sense to me for her to discount in the off months if she needs the income.

Like I said, pricing isn't only based on the the number of available johns due to IRL scheduling conflicts, but also lack of funds a guy may have at the holidays.

She can't do anything about guys not being available but she certainly can do something about their lack of funds by offering a discount.  

As I am sure you well know, many high end NYC girls offer discounts December thru February, some publically some privately, and many with very good results.  

The law of Supply and demand dictates she should try it and see, IF she needs the income. If she doesnt, supply and demand would mean less to her.

ladies are intrigued by your eggar and word has it many are in need of oral stimulation ( hummingbird or tweety as some call it ).  broaden your menu and perhaps start by taking this young lady out . and we can all read the review afterwards . maybe shes game for some otc time instead of reduction and if she worded the thread differently perhaps asking us guys what would entice us during the holiday season she wouldn't be getting so much slack .  

op , its not what you say its how you word it .

Otherwise you'd not have responded as you did.  My implicit advice was dropping your rate won't get you more business. Unless I know the gal, seeing she's dropped her rate just smells of desperation. And desperation isn't sexy. Actually, it's kinda the opposite.

I strongly disagree with your advice.

Imo, most guys don't give a fk about "desperation." They want the best girl they can find at the cost they can afford.  

Virtually every business in the world discounts at one time or another because it HELPS business Nick. So not sure how hooking would be the exception.

It comes down to how much she needs the money. If she is really dependent on it, no problem offering a winter/holiday discount.  MANY girls do Nick.  

The fact she is asking tells me she needs the money. I would tell her to offer it with a clear end and start date and give numerous notifications prior to it ending so she gets the most of her offer.

Plus she even added her link which is not allowed in an OP. It has been edited out now, but it was definitely there when I posted my reply.

In your case, you piss as many guys off as you attract ;) ;)

I have a hobby budget.  I may admire photos of ladies who are outside of it, but that's about it.  If a lady lowers her price to fall within my budget, then I'll consider her.  Indeed, this has happened before.  It's a win-win situation.

OK, you got blasted for posting what looks like a threAD. Such is life on the GD; no biggie.  

I'll give you a straight answer, as I see it:

Every guy needs three things to see a provider - money (the "budget"), the time (a schedule that matches your availability) and a desire (attraction) to see you. Performance, chemistry and the like become very strong factors for repeat visits.

Not sure what you can really due to bump the attraction factor, so you really need to work the budget and time factors. Around the holidays, both time and budget probably get tighter for many of the guys.

For the guys, time budgeting may show up as cutting back on number of dates, or fitting dates into shorter windows - perhaps at times that are out of the norm for them. This also helps with reducing total $$ spent, ie.. budgeting.

I'd imagine you could offer a deep discount dinner package or clock-free evening for the guys who like longer dates but will simply do them less frequently. If you work on the shorter date guys, maybe 90 mins for 60, and/or the 3 for 2. Either way, you do something nice for your regulars, possibly draw in a few new guys who are attracted but shied away from your rates, and now have a larger pool to win as regulars due to chemistry, performance and so on. Your volume goes up and your margin goes down temporarily, but you may be able to gain longer term revenue.

I totally agree with whoever posted that you need to be absolutely clear about when your special starts and when it ends. Who knows... you may find a new rate structure that works on a longer term basis.

That's not what she was talking about to begin with, at least in my view.  And of course she needs the money or she wouldn't be thinking about doing it.  My point was only that, if she does it, my guess is it won't drive her any more business because the issue is that over the holidays guys have too many family obligations and it restricts their ability to play.. In other words, I never said I had a "problem" with her "offering a winter/holiday discount."  I simply said I had my doubts it would work.  If you go back and read my initial posts on this, you'll see that's what I meant.
I also never took a position on the general question of discounts, only on doing it at this time of year.  So please don't put words in my mouth that were never there.  Discounts can and do get my attention.  It's just that I doubt discounts at this time of year work.  That's all I said.
Love ya, Jack!  :)

But will Nick review her? Its been a bit since she's had one. How can she not have one in six years and still be 'live' on a hooker board? I guess the threADs carry the day.

I have the good fortune to live in Dallas where I have no reason to spend more than $300 hour to see a lady of the highest caliber. I routinely simply ignore ads that are at a price point of $400 or more, BUT if I see a $400 hr lady that strikes my fancy is available at $300, I will be more than happy to see her at that rate.

Unlike Jack, I am much too lazy to negotiate the rate, but I don't see a thing wrong with it. She can either say yes or no. This whole "disrespecting a hooker" by negotiating her rate is complete bullshit IMO, even if I rarely do so myself.

Sorry Nick, but you are ABSOLUTELY WRONG on this one.

Because you just completely mis-characterized it.  Since I know you must be stewed to the gills I will distill it for you. I made several things clear:
1) There is nothing wrong with discounts, per se, and I have taken advantage of them myself.  My answer was not, repeat NOT, about discounts in general.  Just about the effectiveness of discounts during the upcoming holidays.  I simply said because guys have many family commitments they have less time to play so I doubted a discounted rate would solve that problem.
2) My posts had nothing, repeat, nothing, about negotiating rates.  You will not find a single statement about that in my posts.  Unless it was to say I wasn't discussing negotiating.
3) Please show me where I said anything about negotiating being "disrespecting a hooker." I won't hold my breath, because you won't find that in any of my posts either.
You aren't usually this flat-out wrong, but I guess it can happen to  the best of us.  Get well soon. LMAO!

NEVER will I offer any incentive to someone I have never met. IF and only IF the guy is easy I MIGHT offer something in good faith to keep him. NEVER will I discount if asked.  

Whether you call that haggling or negotiating is up to you. I call it wanting to keep an easy trick in place of a guy that could turn out to be a fucking nightmare. Better the ass you know than the ass you don't.  There are just some men that I would rather put acid in my eyes than see for a discount.  

And as I have said countless times before, I will not cave into a haggler. I renegotiate and make it as unattractive as I can so he fucks off.
