Price increases

[littlejimbigher]

Hopefully I can get an idea on what to do.
I've been seeing one of the Sp's monthly for well over a year now, and each time I have the donation enclosed in an envelope for her.
After seeing her recently and continuing giving her the same donation, I happen to see her ad on the web with new higher prices.
Do I just continue giving her the same donation as always?
Do I discuss with her if she wants more donation?
Or should I just increase the donation to the new price?

rate increase

Why don't you ask her for the price when you book the appt. ?
May be that sp would like to stick to old price for regular clients.

hehe

Easy, you continue to pay her the same fee you've always paid her.

At the very least, you are an "old friend", and may rate a discount.

At the very most, sheeeeeeeeeeeee is responsible for telling you of any rate change that affects you.

Until she does say something related, don't alter your present routine.

Thanks. I think I will do this.

Littlejimbigher,

I think you have to ask. If she advertised a higher price without being explicit about old rates for old clients, I think one has to assume that the new rate applies. That being said, given one of your other posts, I think I know the lady in question, and I think you will get good news.

If she's raised her prices that means she's got too much business. If she tells you she's busy next time you try to book assuming the old rate she actually saying, not worth my time. Why not just clarify with her?

It is up to the seller to advise of price increases, and for long term customers it should be done in person...

If she beats around the bush as Veronica mentioned, then IMO it is time to take your business else where...

Repeat customers often get discounts over new customers in any business... I would expect the same here, especially if you are clean and safe... Would she rather book a new client and make 20 or 30 dollars more, not knowing what could happen, or make a little less and feel comfortable knowing she is safe with a repeat client?

Agreed.....communication is the key to a happy and fun relationship.........

,
But to say that I am no longer interested in seeing someone,

because I happen to be busy a couple times when they call is just plain

wrong.

I miss out on seeing some real sweety's and I encourage all my clients to

keep trying unless I, personally, tell you your number is flagged!

So, again, I agree, communication is the key here!

I seen her just days before I seen her new ad with higher prices and it was a great session and we planned again for next month. So I know she still wants to see me. It was just the confussion on what I should do knowing she raised her posted price.
Most of you who PM'd me say I should ask her personally and hope that I stay at the old price. "Volume discount" applies. LOL
