How to determine pricing for a weekend, and or overnight trip

[Joahee boy]

So I'm based in Atlanta and my rates rage from 200-250 per hour. But i frequently get clients that fly me out to another state and i have trouble sometimes getting them a price. Because i feel like if there doing an overnight or weekemd the rate then changes. But how do i come up with a good and fair price?

Take a look at what other escorts in your market (not necessarily just Atlanta, but escorts you consider your peers who provide a similar experience or experiences -- i.e., BFE, kink, etc.) charge and determine what you feel will adequately compensate you for the time in light of that. A range of $900 to $1200 and up is typical for overnights (keep in mind the definition of an overnight may vary, but the most common seems to be 12 hours); $1200-1500 and up for 24 hours; and generally double that for weekends, however that's defined.

 

Hope that helps!

Hey Joahee,

 

Quoththeraven gave you as good as response as you will get. Research your market, figure out where in your market you stand and stick to your rates. Be careful not to go too low (People mistrust escorts with inexplicably low rates and won't treat you with the respect and seriousness a professional will command), do not go too high for the product you have and for your reputation because that will limit the amount of work you will get.

 

Once you find your price range stick to it. I would strongly recommend not to negotiate. Word gets out real fast amongst thrifty clients and once you give in you won't be able to go back to your original rates.

 

Also remember that even if you are being invited to join your client to Hawaii, you should NOT view this as a personal holiday. As much fun as this may be you will be working, you will be expected to focus your attention and your energy on your client and you will have to be ON. This won't be your trip to Hawaii, this will be your client's amazing trip to Hawaii with a super fun, attentive, super sexy guy.

 

Learning the difference between these two options is what makes a real travel professional successful.

 

Your rates as for your time, a time that will be special, attentive and fun for your client.

 

Wish you all the best! Let us know how things go.

Juan and Quoththeraven got you covered! Do your research and decide what that time means to you.

Pricing a product or service is one of the main challenges in the field of Marketing. Competitive analysis, as suggested by Juan and Quoththeraven is a very important tool that you should definitely consider. I think that Juan's point about the dangers of pricing yourself too low is especially true when you're setting your regular hourly rates, but not necessarily applicable to overnight or weekend rates, which I believe are a very different service offering than your hourly service.

 

When setting rates for extended appointments, you should consider the "opportunity cost." You'll want to make sure that the opportunities that you give up in order to accommodate a long appointment are not worth more than you're charging for the long appointment. Consider these scenarios:

 

#1 - Let's say you're a busy escort charging $250/hour and typically get three 1-hour appointments per evening on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Without any extended appointments, you'd earn $2250 in a weekend, so anything less than $2250 for a weekend appointment would lose money for you.

 

#2 - Let's say that in your market area business is pretty slow, and you rarely get more than one appointment per night, and they are usually for just an hour. So, maybe your weekend income is about $750. In this case, if you charged $2250 for a weekend appointment, you'd come out way ahead.

 

With those scenarios in mind, you also need to consider that this business isn't always just about dollars and cents. I believe that there are some escorts who genuinely enjoy meeting and getting to know someone over an extended appointment, and others that are best suited to 1-hour appointments because the idea of spending an entire weekend with someone that they don't really know is nightmare. If the idea of weekend appointment fills you with dread, you should price them very, very high.

 

From time to time, I've seen escorts get creative with extended appointment pricing. Take, for example, an escort who specializes in a "boyfriend experience" working in a market where the typical hourly rate is $250. Our example escort doesn't offer 1-hour appointments at all, but offers a 2-hour session for $400. Assuming that escort would have only gotten a single session per night, he's now making $150 more, and perhaps offering the client a better experience. Even if you figure that he's doing two of these 2-hour sessions per day ($800), instead of three 1-hour sessions ($750), he's still $50 ahead.

 

Rarely, I've run across escorts who offer an "evening" session. The case I'm thinking of, he offered a 1-hour session for $250, or an "evening session" consisting of dinner, some drinks, some hang out time, and some intimate time, perhaps 4-5 hours total, for $600. If you look at this on a price-per-hour basis, it seems like a very bad deal for the escort. However, if the escort can only get, or only wants, one client per evening, he's walking away with $600 instead of $250, and probably doing about the same amount of "hard work," (about an hour of intimate time) either way. As a client I find this scenario very appealing.

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

With all due respect, RJ, I think that I can plainly see why you may get more 1-hour appointments than longer hires. Although the text of your ad mentions fun, passion, romance and the "boyfriend experience," the photos are all about the big dick. Don't get me wrong: there is nothing wrong with a big cock, but your photos don't sell the boyfriend experience or say anything about your personality. I can certainly understand your hesitance to show face pictures (and it's been discussed here many times), I think that what the text of your ad is trying to sell is all about personality and personal connection, and your photos don't show any of that... no playfulness, no seduction, no engagement, not really even a hot body shot.

 

So, I suspect that most of your calls come from clients who want a good, hard fucking by a "BBC." Even those potential clients might be confused by the disconnection between the text of your ad and the message in your photos. If you want to attract clients interested in longer appointments and more personal connections, you probably need to adjust the way you present yourself.

I think you misinterpreted my comment or it wasn't very clear. I don't actually care about 1 hour vs. 3 vs. overnight. I was actually just making a humorous comment. I love my one hour appointment just as much as any. I also think if I worked as much as mentioned in any of those scenarios I would die. While you might be right about me getting more clients by changing my marketing, I have presented myself in the best way I currently see fit (I'm pretty neurotic about changing my ad copy frequently) People who want the "BBC" look at the pictures and get that(I give a great "good hard fucking"), and people who want the BFE read and get that, people who want a hot body go see Killian or someone , people who are confused I really cant help, and people who aren't interested, aren't interested.

 

Naturally I became defensive as we all do when faced with criticism, but to be honest, shouldn't I be? I didn't really ask. I'm not too worried as I do this out of enjoyment and only part time (my full time job is reading the forum) not as a career guy (hence not showing my face). It should be noted that many people do hire me for longer sessions, unfortunately they are (probably) not forum members and cant defend me. In fact I didn't read this yesterday because I went straight to sleep after a five hour appointment where the client and I traveled to meet in Boston and we enjoyed lunch, a nice walk, hours of play, a nap and cuddling before he left SO all in all I think I'm doing okay. But when I am in need I will be sure to open it up to the forum for advice.
