Holiday Budget!

Christmas is almost here and budgets get tighter. I understand that a hobbiest may not have as much money to play with. So ladies if you do offer a holiday discount and post it, how much do you take off? 25%...
50%? Whats a reasonable discount? Ladies if you have not yet posted a discounted offer yet how do you reply when a first time friend says
" Hi, im trying to see if you fit my holiday budget for a 30 min session?"
Do you then offer him a discount, if so how much?
Now my issue is not about him asking for a holiday discount but him saying sorry that is out of my budget after offering him a discount.
What kind of discount could he have been aiming for? If his budget is that tight wouldnt you think he should not be spending on an escort?
Guys how much of a discount do you belive is worthy discount?

I would diversify for 2012.
I don't offer discounts on my time to new clients and only very rarely to old clients- I don't hobby often enough to make it worth my while to bring my rates down and most of my clients are pretty good with managing their money and budgeting properly to make sure they can handle the holidays without denying themselves their usual stress relief. I do give freebies to well established clients on their birthdays but that's as far as I go down that particular rabbit hole.

This season is tighter than usual... Still I wouldn't want to ask for too much of a discount. I'm afraid it would be considered insulting.

This doesn't mean I'm not looking for discounts. LOL

Ladies just make sure to provide links showing where the discounts are. Not a "call for rates" That is much appreciated

From past discussions, almost all providers consider it insulting to be asked for a discount on their hourly rate. Might be a discount on multi-hour date or an all-nighter. I haven't seen rates going down much even with the economy as it is.

In the five years I have been involved it is different during the "Holidays"

Guys are taking time with the family.
Girls are taking time with the family.

This shortens the work month and the bills do not change for the Ladies.

Guys are worried about Christmas shopping: "Will his kid get the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip?
Ladies are worried about shopping: "Will her kid get the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip?

So more bills for both the guys and gals. Less time for the gals to harvest from a reduced available base. Some people save and are prepared. Some wake up to a new world every day and don't prepare.

For the guys worst case is "delayed gratification".
For the Ladies it can be "rent".
My birthday is this weekend & I'm a well established client.

Woohoo Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!

A discount should be offered and not asked for to clients you like and are repeat customers, it means more to me when I get that kind of offer, either in more time or less money.

If you want to run a special then yahoo for everybody.
