I am moving in about two weeks and would like to offer some of my favorite gentlemen a chance to see me on a fairly regular basis (twice a month or once a week, or maybe even twice a week).
I am not looking to see more than 4 or 5 a week at the most and I do not want to see anyone at my home that I have not met and had at least one session with previously.
I would offer regulars incentives that I do not offer men that are not regulars such as they can call me on short notice (happen to be in the neighborhood and have time to kill? If I am available, you might just get lucky), early morning sessions - free coffee and maybe even breakfast together, I would also probably be open to trying new things with a regular that I wouldn't with someone I dont know.
Having said that - what price do you think is a fair price for you to consider being a lady's regular client? Wether its me or some other lady, I am just looking for an idea on what you guys think is fair for both you and her.
Without knowing what your rates are, I'd say a discount ranging from 20 - 33% of your normal rates would be fair to you and your clients. If you're really feeling generous towards your regulars, 50% would be welcomed by them.

Some ladies give guys a $50 discount (per hour) if he has seen her in the last month (or whatever time period). Keeping him at a rate (grandfather) if you raise your rates is also very typical.
I don't mind seeing a lady at her standard rate, with no discount. The dates tend to get better over time (otherwise, why am I seeing her again). The short notice and extended hours are normal when you know someone. Obviously, she has a right to say no.
It's not that a lady isn't worth what she raised her rates to after a guy has seen her. Just think it's a professional courtesy to keep and expect the same when they meet again. Especially if he is or was a regular.
Being one of 'those guys', I'd be insulted as fuck if a lady I saw for $500 for 2 hours more than a few times wanted to charge me a grand for the same time she'd charge someone she never saw before and would have to screen and so forth.
I'd actually walk in, and if she checked the donation and said 'Umm, you're a little short honey for our time', I'd just grab it back and walk the fuck out. Let her deal with the backlash when I shit allover her on these boards.
Sorry, but what's right is right. We're not talking about getting pissed that your closest service station charges 10 cents more per gallon when you fill your car up since the last time you were there. I'm talking double the rate for the same service from a luxury, not a necessity.
I am not talking about raising my rates and keeping the old rates for regulars.
Regardless of what I charge, or any lady charges I wanted to know what does your budget allow for that would make you want to be very regular (not just an occasional repeat customer).
Lets say you are the type of guy who would see a lady once a week if you could afford her.
What would it take to afford her? Is $100 for once a week affordable? Or is $75 ea visit more acceptable?
I dont plan on raising my regular rates, I am happy where my price point is.
I just want to know what you guys think is "affordable" to be able to see your favorite provider on a more regular basis.
I have many gentleman I visit with frequently, but only you can decide when he becomes a regular. Is it once a week, once a month, etc.?
I do not offer discounts to my regular friends on a date by date basis. I do have a few who buy a "package". A gentleman will pre-pay me for three to five hours, and he can use those hours however he chooses to, with the exception of half hours, which I do not offer. Let's say he buys five hours , at my five hour dinner date number. My dinner date package would save him $250 that month. He can then use his five hours for five one hour dates, or a two hour and a three hour date, etc. The hours must be used within thirty days.

I'm sorry. Just being Mikey. Please, continue!...
every client is different in socioeconomic status. Your rates are a bargain already for the beauty you posses. If I saw your ad, and your current rates, I would be hooked. You have to be able to express your ideas to each client individually, and get their feedback from there to make your evaluation. Some clients are wealthy, and can afford to spend $200 an hour session 6 or 7 times a week, while others, they can only afford that once a week.
Spend some time talking to the client, and propose your idea. For example, you may want to say, "I really enjoy your company, and would like to see you more often since I have a new place. I don't usually do this to every client I meet, but, I want to do it for you. You know my regular rates, however, I am willing to work with you if you want to see me more than you usually do. With that being said, I am willing to reduce my rates for you. How much are you want to pay that makes you comfortable and you can see me more often?"
From there, you can have an individual perspective. Some clients may deny your proposition because they feel that they are taken advantage of you, and do not mind paying the same rate. However, for other clients, they will give you a figure that makes them comfortable to see you on a weekly basis, and you can accept their offer or make a counter offer. For example, if you feel that their propose rate is too low, you can add more money to the rate.
I had a similar provider that did that to me in the past. She had stop working as a provider. However, she told me I can still see her anytime at her private incall residents. Her provider rate at the time was $300 an hour. But, she told me that she is willing to work with me and I can give her any amount of fee that I felt happy with. So, I would pay her $150 an hour, and I saw her at least 5 or 6 times a week. Sometimes, I may just give her $100 for half an hour and tip her an extra $20.
My point is, you should be able to communicate with your clients on an individual bases because every client is different in socioeconomic status. I hope I was able to help you my dear, and I wish you much success in your progress.
It would be an incentive for regulars to come back again sooner rather than later without dropping your overall rate on a regular basis for the "regulars" who only contact you once every two months.
I did that with one regular mainly because he was hot as hell and I just wanted to _______ him more often! The price kept getting lower, and lower and lower... man, do I miss him. He has a girlfriend now and he wants to be faithful... awwwww.
But it did work... the second appointment had to be within a week of the first appointment, otherwise the price went back to whatever I was charging at the time for him. You could allow several weeks or a month between appointments for the discount to be in effect, whatever works for you.
Every guy will take the deal... claim to be "a regular" but then won't be able to keep it up over time.
Personally, I think 10% cash discount is plenty & give them other extras like a bit more time, she mentioned breakfast. The extra time might be enough. (1.5 hour = 1 hour rate or 2 hour = 1.5 hours rate) but does not hurt her bottom line. She's only talking 1 per weekday max.
I often bring meal fixings with me to ATF & we pot luck with what she might have (though my intent is to take the cost burden off of her). We got into this because she cooked for me on a previous visit. We often enjoy a lazy post-coital hour or more. And yes, we meet in her home... she has a cover story with a real home based business, designated parking for that business which is set up in her spare room. She just does not make enough money at that business.
I would consider extra time a great deal. I think this is sustainable over time & does not shoot her in her own foot.

though..you have no idea how many guys (that I've never even seen) want/persist the benefits given to the regulars. Some have outright tried to leave the "regular client" rate instead of the new client rate...ugh
Great advise!
I post openly on my website rates that are given to gentlemen who have become regular friends. I define it specifically as over 7 individual dates or more, generally because anyone I've seen that many times I must really get along with and enjoy. It also usually means I've known them for 4 months to 1 year before it applies.
The most important thing to note is that you need to be able to maintain your standard of living. Ultimately you have to do the math as to what you can afford to give.
In one respect, you can keep rates the same, but spend more time together on each date.
You can lower your rate to them by anywhere from 10 - 40%.
You can provide more affordable dinner dates, and keep your hourly appointments the same.
You can offer Packages: If they pay for 3-4 dates in advance, you offer them X dollars. Be careful about this one, you need to really trust the person, and be willing to find time for them even when life is a bit hectic.
Or... you can discuss with each individual what you feel will be appropriate show of appreciation. Take into consideration their lifestyle and income. The financial arrangements between a lady and her long term regular is the business of no one else, it is just between the two of them.
