Why doesn't an escort agency do this?

[BernardMadoff]

I've always wondered why a new agency doesn't come in with like 5-10 girls, and slashes prices like $150 /hour or something?

they will become a monopoly quickly and sweep the business..

mistake double post

Lack of understanding ....

Of something called "price elasticity of demand."

 

[Hangman]

Why would they? Your post implies that domination of the market at the cost of operating at a loss is somehow a good thing.

Gee, maybe they don't want to deal with clients who only want to pay $150.

Like any business, pick your price point and go with it. There will always be someone who can do it cheaper, but that certainly my deciding factor in any purchase. Then you've got to ask what girl wants to work for 60% of what others of a similar scale do. You'd basically get the leftovers or newbie working for you. I know that 60% of something is better than 100% of nuttin', but generally, you get what you pay for

Cause the gals need to make the same amount as elsewhere or they go there.

Then with costs its a losing money business--you want to open a business and lose money everyday be my guest.

There also might be much heat from the other escort companies..maybe even the law if its one of those technically illegal but rarely shut down Incall escort companies.

Its called the mob, lol

Independents could easily do this if they chose to make a big splash if they're a bit slow. But it would be difficult to get the price back up with their regulars when times are good.

Terb is supposed to review the women - not tell them how to run their business.

I could see an anniversary special or Xmas special for those special regular clients, but not an every day thing. How many store do you know have special sales all the time and you balk paying regular price because you know it'll go on sale soon?

 

[Hiding]

Because not many girls will work for the $90/h that leaves them with after agency fees, and the ones that do are doing so mainly because they can't charge higher or they haven't found a better agency for whom to work.

What are you going to charge for a half hour? Or are you going to not provide half hour service at all?

There's clearly a huge ton of guys that are paying $140 right now for a half hour.

And I've heard from a girl or two that there's competition for the girls themselves between agencies. This isn't Montreal with it's vast supply of liberal hotties. I don't think you'd find any women to work for you here in Toronto.

And the guys that do want $60-$100 service find it elsewhere, at places that aren't so high end as agencies and well vetted indies. I don't think they have as regularly nice a time as those of us that can afford $140-$250.

Home Depot comes to a town with that marketing practice. Then when you smaller shops close they raise prices and cut customer service.

No. Thats Walmart. What does Andy always say about it. Scab-Mart. He hates anti-union establishments. They treat their employees like shit and get away with it.

Actually they both do it. Consider this: what good is a union for minimum wage jobs?

The only ne who makes money from that is the union.

Thats why they have minimum wage jobs. Its like what comes first the chicken or the egg. It is a fact that most higher paying blue collar jobs are Unionized. Walmart makes billions of dollars a year in profits while paying their employees that minimum wage.

People will pay more for skilled labor to do their electric and plumbing but not to ask if they want paper or plastic.

True, but ive seen a very long documentary on Walmart. They are a very ruthless company. they can basically dictate pricing and wages for all. Said my peace, enough about Walmart and their billion dollar profits.

Just one question


Do you make a profit and pay a fair wage?

Let us assume a 10% profit after expenses. This mean the ladies get roughly 75% of the fees?

No one is forced to work for Walmart.

Profit is not a dirty word.
