Who am I to "tell" a provider what to charge, but since I've been asked, he goes 
I've seen many a provider simply double their hourly rate to a 2 hour rate. I've also seen providers take 1/2 their hourly rate and add it to get a 90 min rate--i.e. 300 for 1 hour and $450 for 90 min. From my perspective as a client, that tells me the provider is not very creative and more inclined to simple numbers rather than true marketing. I think there are so many variables to consider when establishing rates. I think everyone would agree that the first hour of time is consumed with a lot of overhead considerations. If it is incall, the first hour's rate has to factor in any lodging costs. If the lady is touring, it also has to factor in transportation and incidentals. Then there is always advertising and other expenses. Other factors a touring provider has to consider is the number of expected dates she will have. There has to be some sort of "break even" point", If a provider is doing out call, she has nominal transportation fees along with the adverting, etc. If she tours but does out-call only, there are the traveling expenses mentioned above. I'd say that a touring provider probably has an overhead for each date of around $150 per day. Obviously if she has multiple dates on any given day, that overhead will drop. On the other hand, a local provider doing outcalls only probably has an overhead of $50 a day per client (which will drop if she see's more than one client per day). Yes. I know a lot of numbers to crunch. Basically, a touring provider will have a lower profit margin than a local provider who does outcalls only. Based on this, I would assume they set their pricing structure. However they do this, the first hour is going to produce the least amount of return for the provider. Any time over the first hour is probably pure profit. The question then becomes (and I don't mean this negatively); how greedy is the provider willing to be to the point of pricing herself out of the market? I would say this. The more expensive the first hour, the discount for over 60 minutes should be high. If the first hour is relatively low, then the discount for time over 60 minutes should also be low. Here's some numbers. If the first hour is $400. 90 minutes should probably be $450-$475 and two hours should be $500 to $550. On the other hand, if the first hour is $250, 90 minutes should probably be $350-$375 and 2 hours $425-$450. I'm just saying discounts should be based on a percentage of the initial hour. If the initial hourly rate is high, there should be a substantial discount. If the initial hourly rate is low, then the discount shouldn't be that much. Obviously other market factors come into play. These are just generic numbers.

I would think longer bookings would allow for a slight reduction because you are seeing one person for a longer session and not having to worry about booking another client for that time.
But, I would not let a non discounted hourly rate keep me from seeing a lady I really desired to see. This is your business and livelyhood and I would say it is your preference to set rates as you see fit. The real advantage to me would be the fact that if it is a lady I really like and we have chemistry between us, it would allow me more visits at the discounted rate.

One problem for the longer dates is when the NS/NC happens. Then the lady is really screwed and not in a good way.

As a provider I definitely prefer longer dates and my pricing structure reflects that. Longer dates are more preferable with repeat clients vs. new clients. For a first time date I would prefer 1 hour. I believe for a longer date to be "great" and not just "ok" you need chemistry. I respect everyone's pricing structure but this is what works best for me. My clients like it as well.

You can probably sum it up by saying you don't get the clients you don't market yourself to appeal to.

Nope. Lawyers bill by the 1/4 hour (and round up). There isn't a woman on this board that will do that. If there were, I would be interested in that rate structure.Actually, most bill in 1/10 hour increments now. Most corporate client require that. No rounding. Hell of a deal if you have premature ejaculation. You could get a $30 blow job from a $300/hr. provider.Originally Posted by charlestudor2005

I've done both -- discounting any time after the minimum or having each increment cost the same. Currently I offer an increasing discount with increasing date length. In my experience, discounting longer dates does seem to encourage them, so if you prefer those it's something to consider. If it doesn't work, you can always go back.
As a general recommendation for all ladies reading this, if you're at all interested in scheduling any length of date (longer OR shorter than an hour), pick a price and put it on your website. You might be surprised how many clients are interested but hesitant to make the first move.
