A complete paradigm shift will happen.
Blow and Go and shorter sessions will win over longer ones. Once in a while a punter will indulge in 1-2 hour or overnights, but it will reduce.
Girls will have to start offering less facilities and freebies(Like mentioned above, less towels, less choice of condoms, no bottled water etc)

Saving..that is what we all will need to seriously think about. All aspects of it, not only money. Reuse things that were considered unusable, reduce consumption to the extent possible. Spend less on transport(walk or take decent public transport) shift to a smaller vehicle that suits your lifestyle and family and not necessarily the neighbourhood

Sorry that circumstances are such that you have to ask such questions. Some of your considerations are fairly low impact(savings) to you, which tells me the desperation is real.
So sorry ;(

Ito your question re returning clients. To me (let me not generalise) price is important but not the key driver.
I can get cheaper than my regular roosting place and have indeed visited cheaper.
...and felt cheaper ;(
I go to feel good. I'm a GFE guy and my name gives away my weaknesses. I need to "feel the love". If you don't make effort to look like a gf looking forward to see her man, the mood is broken before we started. And I'm not talking looks only. I'm talking about the smile, tone of voice and welcome. If you open the door. Cordially greet verbally only, turn away to lead the way, or just point my down the passage, it feels as if I'll be tolerated and you will fk my body,but not my mind.

Many say they get lots of messages and can't contact punters (who like messages) in-between visits. Well, that's your choice, but if your only tease before my next booking is your profile, where do you think should your competitive advantage come from? If fact, you have even lost the "new" attraction.
Old saying is its easier to keep a client than to get a new one. Same applies here I think.

Topic best elaborated on over a beer, but if you chase the guy out after 40 of 60 minutes, when will you get to know where is come-back buttons?

Just a horny old perverts thoughts.

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?


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.

So maybe throw some personalized specials put for my people... I like.
Thank you

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

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!

Your questions are very relevant - these is the income side and the expenditure side. To get through this one has to look at both sides, just as punters are tightening their belts so should wg's. Certain interventions can help to attract more income and at the same time cutting expenses will make improve things a lot. The biggest saving I can immediately see from your list above is costs in relation to venue. I advised another lady on this and although she didn't want to work at a venue it's working out great for her in these times. To have that hotel cost hanging over your head every day/week is a lot of stress. Although a venue takes a cut it's basically pay as you go, you don't make money you don't pay. In a hotel the bill doesn't go away. First prize is to have your own private apartment with reasonable rental which works out far cheaper than a hotel and you don't give a cut to anyone, but that doesn't happen overnight. And I wouldn't write off a venue as an option - not all venues are created equal, there are some great places and 90% of guys don't mind visiting a venue where things are well run with clean facilities and privacy respected. That also answers your towel question, and bottled water questions because the house provides it. Regardless even if you are on your own 99% of guys just want clean towels (seriously don't know why more than 1 maybe 2 is necessary) and really don't care about having tons of options on condoms, one good brand is fine. I cannot comment on your travel query but I wouldn't rely on guys asking to come and saying how they'll book or that they'll cover some of your costs, unless the ticket has been booked by them.

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.

Why aren't you in my bed yet *naughty-smile*

Alas, I wish we lived in a perfect world and everyone could afford to make a statement like yours...

Hi babe.

I definitely am not desperate! I didn't post a special, I asked a question?

The things is, I'm 99% sure it's not only myself that's been batteling when it comes to bookings... The industry as a whole has been down.

I'm taking one for the team right now cause .... that's what I do lols. If you're not in some way or the other affected by what's happening in this country right now, I take my hat off to you because fuuuck! Well done.
For the rest of us, well, we would be stupid not to start looking for ways to cope going forward.
The only difference is I need to ask because of inexperience... I've not been in the industry very long....

So no, definitely not desperate... just forward thinking.

And I wish we got to that dinner date... then you would know my gfe is all you described and more...

I do agree with you on the new clients part though... to expect people to line up at your door just cause you in the top 10 and a little popular is not conducive... and I think I can put a little more effort in to that part.

Thank you though for the advice I really actually appreciate it!

So when it comes to venues... I would like to think that I will be okay working out of a venue... but I don't think that's an option for me. And I'll list the reasons why to you privately if you want.

Do I think a venue would make my work life easier? For sure!!
Do I think it's gonna save me alot of money? Definitely!
But unfortunately for me specifically, the cons outweigh the pros here. And if you have been following my journey, you'd know why (I'll pm you anyways)

And then the cutting of things... there's a very fine line when it comes to cutting things... cause I'm full of shit. And I simply cannot give anything to anyone else if I'm not satisfied with it. So, mental change need to happen here too.

Travel is completely out for me right now. Focusing on something else right now. So atleast I don't have to stress about that for a min...

Thanks babes for all your help so far!

But yeah... thank you for everyone's input up till now!

I myself as well as I'm sure soooo many other ladies reading this are so very grateful for the advice and guidance recieved so far!!!

For all the economist and business majors ...

There are 2 types of goods, elastic (demand changes with price and economic conditions) and inelastic (not affected by price, eg, cigarretes).

And it's all on a spectrum, obviously.

To ride out hard times, your product needs to differentiate itself from the others, and become more inelastic in nature. Even poor people spend alot of money, which arguably they can't afford, on differentiated goods that are perceivably no better than any other equivalent good, but they are objects of desire nonetheless. I can't imagine it would be to hard in the sex industry to create such goods.

I thing Cunilinkiss gave a good example of what 'he', but arguably many men in his position wants, and will be willing to sacrifice other things first before they forego their real basic need.

So what is that basic need. If you can be replaced by self maturbation, then you've not differentiate or tapped into a need. If I'm reducing services from a sex worker before reducing services from a domestic worker, then the sex worker is only providing me with a luxury good and has not 'yet' met my basic necessity in a way that I cant do without it.

Personally I rather loose weight than forego time with my favorite lady(s) that gets my heart racing. Weight loss and a good workout, that sounds like healthy living during perilous economic times.
