Nope - this is probably not the question you thought it would be.
The questions is---- Why do you advertise a special and then give a price over the phone or email that is higher than the price of your last session on the same day?
Personally, I don't care what your rate is. I don't think you charge enough to do what you do - regardless of your price. But, why tell one person a special rate that is higher than what is written in a review for the same day action?
But offering a higher price to one hobbyiest while doing another at a lower price is like robbing Peter to pay Paul. That just makes Peter sore and everyone knows you can't do business with a sore peter.
Thanks to our new no pricing advertised pricing policy this happens all the time. It's ludicrous to read 3 reviews of the same lady on the same day that is $$ for an hour, $240 for an hour, and $220 for an hour. Or call to find out the special is $150 while reading a review for a buck twenty-five. What are we supposed to do --- haggle for the lower price? That's low brow.
Why do you do it? Do you think we don't know or won't find out? What's the purpose? What do you accomplish?
