Ladies, how does the holiday season affect your business?

Just curious how the holidays tend to affect you.
In a good way? (I.e. holiday travelers and out of town gents)
Or a more negative way? (As hobbiests, like most everyone else these days, are more strapped for funds not to mention busier around the holidays.)

Also curious about opinions on running a holiday special.

I thought all the honeys would be wanting SL to take them out.

But if you are like me and don't like holding the bags, I see what you mean.

I notice alot of girls mentioning a slowness with business during holidays...and to that, I say..

I CALL BULLSHIT!
For me, Holidays are the BEST! Because all my favorites and Sugar Daddies can spend a lil extra- how the fuck will the wife know? So much moneys spent during the holidays...that extra several hundred could have gone to anything! I would suggest everyone turn up their holiday cheer extra, those clients who really like you will definitely show it, and to all the ones who are short on cash- well they just need to wait for some pussy til after the holidays if they dont have money now, but my highest suggestion- Do NOT do any Holidays specials. Its your choice what you do, but for starters you very pretty and I feel you should work towards making yourself more money, never let a slow day make you think you should charge less, stand your ground lol! After running a special, It will take many many months, before guys will ever pay regulars price again. Specials can really fuck up your career! Must be done carefully..

As an experienced 20 year Hobbyist a "special" betwixt a Courtesan and LONG TIME or Regular Client sure does lead to client retention as I have had the pleasure of this from my ATF's/UTR's...Hence many a 8-10yr long Courtesan/Client relationships are bestowed.
It's a WISE business move if done selectively and wisely...
It's an economies of scale as it leads to more frequent visits and I ALWAYS show appreciation throughout the year via my own special$: gifts, dinners, GC's, etc. So reciprocation, or just plain appreciation from the Client is something lacking as the "Gentlemen" continue to disappear among our ranks and are replaced by the simply rank...
I have to agree with Candi, it has certainly not been slow this week. My view of the "holiday special" is similar in that I would NEVER want anyone to charge less than they're worth... however, I can understand being a bit strapped for cash on the holidays. You're so busy trying to make sure everyone else feels special, you don't always remember to take time for you. So I don't see specials as a necessarily bad thing as long as you can strike a happy medium!
I like to get out more often if and when I can to blow off the extra stress.
