Inflation and the SP business

Noticed a few trends lately that I think are related to the pandemic and the economy were are in, in particular inflation...
- Rates going up... you probably noticed that... long gone are the 100/120 hh fun rates... even some not-so-pretty SPs, to be PC about it, want you to throw 300 roses for the hour...
- Agencies are throwing bonuses, when signing, to hire SPs... which indicates that the pool of SPs is shrinking relative to what it used to be pre-pandemic...and that's understandable if the girls are health conscious.
- The demand may be that high that, recently, I noticed a few SPs on different agencies' websites...I will not disclose names, in case they are in a breach of their contract. It's none of my business. I just observe.

Pretty simple. The rates are what the market dictates where they should be and not where some guys think the rates should be. Rate increases are not recent but have been going up over the past 2 years. While some here thought rates would decrease, they were so wrong.......or most likely, hopeful.

Not disputing that, it is a market indeed... what I am referring to are the recent sharp increases... fewer SPs, and more demand.

Unfortunately it's there but I'm not certain the price increase is justified especially for the new and unknown. I know some won't agree but that's my opinion.

If guys are spending more for food, rent/housing, transportation etc., they will have less discretionary cash to spend on hobbying and the effect is felt more when compounded with increasing rates.

That's a good point. For those who can afford it, that's not an issue.
Actually, the pandemic made some people richer, and with flex time and work from home, hobbying is easier...

Fully agree. The quality of service of some is just borderline awful. But there is no return policy :)

Many women may have taken themselves off the market for their own heath as well as their SOs and/or family members. If there is a steep downturn in covid cases when there is heard immunity there may be a surge in supply. Demand may not be as plentiful as it was pre pandemic due to slowed economic recovery.

I agree with this forecast. I am fully expecting roaring twenties starting Monday.

Yep, that explains the bonuses that agencies are offering to entice SPs. Check DD or Hush as examples.

Many Escorts don't want the bargain-basement clientele as their customer base. Raising one's fee for any good or service excludes those who can't or won't pay a specific amount for it. If a price increase for any good or service results in a corresponding drop to total profit, as opposed to 'per unit' profit, (pun intended), the price subsequently goes down, or business suffers.

It's not a lot different from a weed dealer who doesn't sell less than guarter ounces; the 'dime bag' dealer and customer demographic is an entirely different market. Dime bag customers tend to be hagglers, and invariably want product on credit. Only 'dime bag' merchants want their business.

There are very few women who want to suck ten old men's dicks a day. Would you eat ten old women's pussys a day.

Bonuses have been offender for ages. All the top agencies here on TERB have been offering bonuses since before the pandemic even. It is to compete with other agencies. If a new girl is coming in and looking for an agency, they need to compete with each other to get the girl. Shining bonuses do that. This is nothing new. Maybe you have not personally seen it, doesn’t mean it has not been happening for ages now.

Hush may be new to doing but they are trying to compete with the big leagues like Mirage who have been doing it for years and DD is a new agency. They kinda have to as well.
