I wanted to run monthly specials but didn’t know how that would be accepted. Would cuddlers like that.
I used to do some specials here and there but then after I was done what little deal I had, I went back to normal and had wayyyy too many guys constantly asking weekly if I could go back to that deal. It got to a point where I felt they didn’t respect me or what I do to make a living. I stopped doing that a few years ago and I literally had someone a couple weeks ago ask when I was going to do that deal again.
@sheena what type of deals did you have
I called it my Victoria Day special(Canadian). I went to $60/hour for one week. Another time, I had an $80/hour little special. And then for a long time, I had something in my profile that said basically if you want snuggles but can’t afford my price, please let me know and we can discuss a lower price to make sure you get your snuggles! And a lot were taking me up on that but then a few guys asked for it and when I went to give karma, they had five or six karma from other pros much higher than my price all saying they just finished a cuddle with him. Clearly he didn’t need me to lower my price because he couldnt afford it, he just wanted me to lower it.
I'm a big proponent of specials, @morningdeww
I recommend adding discounts to longer sessions, for a start....perhaps discount 1.5 hr. by 10%, 2 hrs. by 15%, and 3 hrs. by 20%? You could play around with a few different sets of rates/length.
You can also give a 10% discount for a returning client, or more for a 3rd session within a period of time (1 or 2 months)?
You can also give a discount for someone who comes to you on their birthday? Or even their birthday week?
Holidays? Or time periods that you find yourself more available and would want more clients....say a discount from 10am to noon?
Showing creativity in marketing is a big green flag for me; it demonstrates the flexibility, originality, and even fun that sessions could be with that person!
Good luck!
Thanks for the ideas @beaubliss i will think about a few of those. I’m going to start a monthly special for certain days for the hour they book. Try that first. Maybe a bogo another month. I’m going to play around with days and deals.
Good luck!! Let us know if anything works
Will do. Thanks
I used to do annual specials at the end of the year, but I found that it didn't make enough of a difference to be worth it. I still offer specials occasionally to existing clients, when I have a cash need.
