Hi Sexies :)

So... As all of you know, it's predicted that interest rates are going up AGAIN with 50 basis points *crying-face*

I think all the ladies on here is already feeling it and it's about to get even worse!

SO... My question to all you gorgeous punters:
What would it take for you to continue seeing us on a regular basis? (Within reason please)

Please comment and let's try and figure out how we can try and help you help us going forward.

This is a difficult one. It impacts each punter differently. Interest rate hike means lower consumer spending that reduce demand for service. So it all depends on what the new punting budget looks like, it does get less with each hike. If a punter can afford they continue punting, else I guess they just punt less and let the budget roll over to next month. In the end of the day, we only have Rx to spend, if you in budget then gr8, if not a special hunting starts.

The long and the short of it is affordability. There is less disposable income and therefore a lot less money around to spend on "luxuries". People are focusing on the necessities, paying their debt to keep the house and car, making sure there is food on the table with the ever increasing grocery bill, trying to keep the lights on during loadshedding and keeping up with other increased costs (fuel, property rates, school fees, anything you can think of has gone up). So demand has dropped significantly and punting has gone even further back in the line. It is now competing with other non-essential spend like eating out, weekends away and even the monthly gym contract. The only way unfortunately to counter such a huge drop in demand is to be more flexible with rates (read charge more affordable rates). Not easy because girls face the same increase in living expenses as everyone else. However, 5 bookings at a rate more related to the current market still makes more money than 1 at a higher rate.

This is not good news for anyone unfortunately and I don't know what other politically correct response to provide.

Okay, but I've put the Specials to the test, only to find that nobody really bothers to enquire. Which leads me to think that If a punter wants to punt, he will punt regardless of price. A special doesn't change that?

Yeah do trust... We are feeling the pinch BAD these days, so waking up to the news this morning is rather disheartening.

Which leads me to my next question/s:

My prices fall in the middle bracket... Far less than most leading ladies, but also a bit higher than the budget punts. This was a very strategic plan , and it was working up till now.

So say I lower my fees by couple of 100s right... Are you going to be okay with the following changes:
1. No more hotels
2. Complex type entrances
3. A limit to the amount of towels in a sesh.
4. Condoms - will you be okay with one choice, let's say...lovers plus? Or bring your own.
5. Areas: will you be okay with traveling a bit further...
6. Okay with no more bottled waters?
7. Shower gels and mouthwash- can I go cheaper?
8. Travels to other provinces - will you guys be able to fund ladies for the general good?

Ffs... so many changes.. I can't *palm-in-face*

Any feedback will be highly appreciated!

Tough times have forced me to Budget To R600 to R800 per punt.
I know a lady has the right to charge whatever she feels & I respect that.
However I cannot put myself in a position where I have no basic needs.
Alternatively I opt for other ways of satisfying myself.
People say if u want something save up for it.
But I'm this economy anything above R800 I think is not affordable.

In my financially uneducated opinion, best would be to keep prices as is.
We are immediately going to be paying more on debt, so having some normalcy in the fun areas will help with the anxiety and anger.

I always try and explain it like this......2exact same products ,the one sells for 200 and the other for 100.

The 200 product sells 5 a day,but the 100 product sells 20 per day

Total 200 product = 1000
Total 100 product = 2000

People are always looking for value for money.

Please do not get me wrong in this industry it is your price, either pay it or move on.
Personally if my punting budget is 2k a month,I look for 2 service providers @ 1000 each instead of 1 punt for 2000

Trust me, if one of my regular SP's put a special in my inbox, and I am available, most likely will take her up on it. Looking for it on the site, not so much unless the SP is close by and has good reviews.

Pretty much my point, what best bang can I get for my buck, selectively
