    Default Do You Post Your Extended-Stay Rates?

    For ladies who offer overnights, day-long appointments, and extended travel, do you have set rates that you openly advertise on your site? I've always had it as an option on my website, but where the price is, I just say "inquire via email." My thoughts being that really the only people who would even ask for such a long appointment are those who have already seen me and feel comfortable emailing me about it, not a brand new client, and I like to be able to negotiate based on the distance I'd have to travel and how long exactly I'll be there.

    So far, anyone who's asked about the extended options was either down with the price quoted right away or they were probably never going to pay for it regardless (like morons who know my 3-hour rate is 1000 but think that they only want to pay 1200 for an overnight ). But I wonder if I'm missing out on putting the idea in more people's heads by not having rates right there on the site as though it's just a normal service I offer all the time and they should consider. Many clients are fine with asking what an unstated rate is and negotiating, but I know some people shy away from inquiring about the price of something that isn't listed, and perhaps I'm missing out on the opportunity to even engage in the conversation with people who might be interested if they had more info.

    I'd include the rates on your website. I know I'd be hesitant to email a service provider in any industry to inquire about prices.

    I almost always gravitate and buy from ppl who list the prices upfront because it's easy and straightforward.

    You could always remove the rates later if it didn't work?

    Is your overnight 12 hours, dinner dates 4 hours and clients make all arrangements?

    It has varied in the past, honestly, which is why I like the negotiation aspect for longer dates. I used to have a "4 hour dinner date" rate on my website, which got used occasionally. But I feel like there is a difference between an overnight where the guy wants me to show up around dinnertime, entertain him for several hours, and then not leave until 8 or 9am on a weekend, and an overnight where they just want me to show up for a nightcap and leave at 6am before they have to go to work, ya know? I don't really like saying "my overnight is 12 hours, period" because it could be shorter, but it could also definitely be longer. I think I might try it though, just to see how it goes. I've been getting a lot of new clients lately since moving and getting new reviews in my area, so I can see how it goes putting out strict rates from the get-go.

    They do always make the arrangements.

    BTW Aurora, thanks for answering my question. I don't even know why I asked this question, I think I'm done with escorting, but I still think like an escort.

    Okay you can completely disregard what i say since im not firsthand insider

    But imo, your initial instinct (your first paragraph) seems to me pretty reasonable. If I were you I would do the same like Inquire via email OR maybe like lead them to contact form where they could put their offers in (and you or your assistant could decline offers that are too low or follow up with those who made reasonable offers).

    I just think if you put a set rate out there then you are somewhat 'locked in' to that and you will have to have your website updated plus explain to the guys who will get comfortable n be like oh why you charge xyz now when you charged abc last month? vs If you have them inquire/negotiate price you can accommodate/change your rates without having to touch the website and with more flexibility.

    Kind of like when you go to a high end restaurant there will always be some items with no prices or it says market rate. The rate will vary depending on the season or what not and if they put the price theyd have to spend more time to change the menu very often. You just know its going to be on the higher end price wise and you inquire either out of curiosity or because you know youre ready to spend.

    I would not provide overnight service to any client that i don't know well. Risk averse! Especially the occasions that I need to travel with him. That means I might need to give him my real name or ID. I've tried to book flight by myself and have the client to reimburse me later. Just a lot of hassle. Safe to say, I will only travel with three clients now. Two of them had helped me to find a part time job in the past a few years. We are fairly close. Overnight service with these guys means crazy sex for once, or twice and cuddling the rest of the time. Hence my overnight rate varies. But I will certainly put $4000+ as a base rate. I do offer 3-4 hours dinner date to new client often. I do not consider myself have worked to my full work potential...but you know how it is.
    I like being alone, I just don't like being lonely.
