Just Asking..What is a provider to do when..Ladies and Gentlemen..

Happy (belated) birthday!!!
maybe your awesome special will lure them in
very good advice given... maybe work other sites???
Thanks to all that have taken the time to read and reply. I really appreciate it. Freaks me out kinda when its slow like this because I have travel expenses, a nanny, and bills to pay for back in the sh** hole ((Vegas)) If things do not pick up this weekend, looks as though I will be leaving on Tuesday.

OK Khloe, I'm going to play the bad guy but don't mean it personally. We've never met and I'm certain you are fantastic at what you do. I know I'm going to take a bad rap for this from some of the girls here but I think honesty is what these boards are about.

(wincing because I know what's coming at me for this)

Now unless I'm misreading your profile, your rate is 360 per hour, right? Sweety, that's just too high in San Antonio. Your market here will be very limited at that rate. That rate is completely appropriate in Vegas. (I've been MANY times) but in SA, you'd have to be Carmen Electra (and there are some of those here) to pull that off and expect guys to be lining up.

Please don't get me wrong, you're very beautiful & from what I see, I'd love to meet you sometime but SA is a blue-collar, hard-working town. There are some guys who are in the economic stratus you're aiming at, but there is a LOT of very fierce competition for those few guys.

Having said all that, I will not suggest what a lady should charge or how she runs her business. I wish you nothing but the best but can only comment as to why I didn't call and I'm quite sure that I am far from alone.

Now if that published rate is incorrect, forget everything I said.

Okay, let the whipping begin....

**EDIT** OK, just saw the specials you're running. Sorry, I didn't see those before. It's quite possible others didn't either. **EDIT**

I think her special rate is $140/Hour as per her showcase. I agree though, when I saw the initial price, it gave me some sticker shock too! LOL

KJ hopefully your specials will attract people who have been on the fence about seeing you. On the other hand things are slow in the RW, as well, just ask anyone who has a business.

Another factor is the holidays season is just around the corner,with all the added expenses they bring. Understand I am not offering solutions, but reality is what it is.

Marcus, sticker shock is the perfect analogy. I saw that and didn't even read any further.

Sorry, Khloe

While having a special is a great idea, I hate to have to agree with todd. San Antonio market is very low, always has been. There are some very well known and sought after ladies here in SA that is a lower rate because of this.

Try posting specials in your signature line. Maybe guys are viewing your profile and get to the "standard rate" and realize they are out of their budget and just move on instead of scrolling down. Take it from me, (and this is nothing against the guys) but they aren't going to read a whole lot. Their ideal ad is hey Im available at these times for this much here's a pic of my boobs, and contact me here. Anything past that probably isn't a priority. So your special may not be getting seen.

As far as your normal rate, that is your business. I am sure you are worth way more than that as we all are. I don't base my "worth" on my rates. (As far as I am concerned, I am priceless I look at the average market and decide what is a good rate to be at.

But a thread like this may help bring in some lovin as well It's all about marketing
<<<working early today!!!
Were you looking for advice on your situation or just wanting to start a thread that you could say you are available.? LOL sorry couldn't help myself.
Yes, you are priceless

I thought that by putting 360/hr in the regular donation areaand beside that rate (((Ask About Eccie Specials))) And listing my special rates for eccie members in the (((specials))) area that there would be no confusion that in San Antonio, I am running specials. So, I am glad that we all had this talk and things are out in the open Again thanks for taking the time to read and reply..have a good weekend
I am really glad that some things were cleared up in this discussion. I really want all of you gentlemen to feel comfortable enough with me that you can feel free to PM me or give me a call with any questions, at anytime, well, try to make it after 10am in the morning, lol
Khloe, business is slow for many ladies everywhere. I understand your strategy for marketing yourself...but, when you post a donation of 360/hr...that puts you in a league all of your own here.

Also, you have to realize that if your regular donation is 360/hr...the hobbyists will *expect* a certain standard...almost that of a HDH, and if you do not meet that expectation...they will talk, if you get me...and, it won't matter if you're running 50/hr special at that point.
