Reality have kick in sooner than expected ... ladies will have to start thinking outside the box and use some good marketing strategies to survive this current economic climate !!!

Ps: Guys can apply to become part of the SSS ... lol !!!

And here Cape Town is crying out for some serious talent. With proper planning some of you ladies can make some serious dough down here in CT.

Yes, as some of the guys have alluded to- times are certainly tough and we are in a recession so everyone is tightening their belts. The more innovative and out-the-box thinkers will prevail and survive. And lastly, top service is all that matters and these are the ones that will survive these next couple of months...as the depressed economy is not going away soon.

I have to try everything and anything now.

I don't know what happened at HOE, but I know the FH market is very different to the massage market.

If you come back to HOE, the celebration will last several months.

Gosh Se_kaas. Well done hey!? So proud of you! Awesome achievement. We all wish we were you.

In economics, it's called the "theory of elasticity".
Ladies, lower the prices!

To add my 2cents... Im by no means broke but the pricing in the current market is insane. When I started punting, 600 was the awesome punt rate, now I fork out 600 just for a legit massage at a day spa which used to cost me 300 at most.

Seems the economic woes are starting to bite most punters and its a pity our gorgeous ladies are starting to feel it too...

The cost if living has increased, how can you expect to still pay prices if 3 or 4 years ago. These ladies also need to make a living, therefore the increase in their price.

Ladies will have to look at their marketing strategy, and as any other person they need to do some financial planning for their near and long term future.

Any business go through a quiet time, lots of business is seasonal and it does seem to me if winter proofs to be the low for punting.

Was in cresta this past weekend and I was shocked at how quiet the stores were - even those with sales. In my experience cresta is always one of the busier malls usually. Chatting to people at work and they all have the same experience
The recession - which has actually been around at least a year - is really starting to bite. Jobs may be under threat and I think people are spending less than before.
Even the owner of a popular restuarant - that closes for several weeks in December - and is in an upmarket area was telling me how he looks busy but profit is down as his patrons average bill per head has dropped. People are sharing meals and sticking to one drink or using his one free bottle per table corkage policy.

Ladies unfortunately it will most likely affect your business. But sex will always sell - even in tough times.

Be wise with your earnings and save and invest where u can. Market yourself well, be visible and be unique. Keep those standards high as the ones that offer the best will be busy. Remember the 4 main P's of marketing
Product = you
Place = where you are available, make sure you can be accessed by more rather than less
Price = well that's up to you to decide
Promotion = specials specials specials

I pray and hope for us all, but for the less fortunate and poorer people more, that we see things improve soon.

Agree 100 % with you iamfunluva ... that 4 p's are so important !!!

With the current recession are more women not entering the oldest profession?

This combined with less disposable income makes for less frequent punters.

So less punters and more puntees.
