Hello gentlemen,
We feel the need to respond to some comments in this thread, as well as a few others thread we’ve seen lately.
First, we will repeat a few things we have said several times since last year:
Companions charge whatever donation they choose under the YFL umbrella.
Companions offer whatever services they want under the YFL umbrella.
We have also said since last year that everything is getting more expensive (flights, hotels, food, etc.), so it needs to be worthwhile for models to travel.
That being said, we feel that some clients have unrealistic expectations lately—expecting a top model who is sweet and willing to do everything for $280. The market in general has increased significantly outside of the Maritimes bubble, and you need to get used to it if you want quality providers.
On the other hand, we also believe that some girls are unrealistic about their business model. Local girls can charge a higher donation because:
They do not have travel expenses, and
They likely have another source of income since it's their home town
So having only one client per day is not an issue. but when touring, it’s another story.
There is a concept called supply and demand. We always say: charge what you want, but clients ultimately decide whether you stay busy or not. In the end, charging more (in some cases) doesn’t necessarily mean earning more money by the end of the week. But its a personal choice, and that choice needs to be respected.
You can see us as mediators or advisers in all of this, but ultimately it’s you guys (and girls) who decide what you want—or don’t want. One thing we don’t understand is why some of you complain to us about not having extremely detailed service descriptions and/or about prices being too high, yet still choose to see independents who often offer YMMV service, charge more, and you’re okay with it?
As a reminder, we have been visiting for many years, and we do our best to represent only models who meet a certain standard and offer fair pricing. Most importantly, we provide stable, consistent visits in the Maritimes. There was a time when we were the only ones visiting you. We also work very hard—12 to 15 hours a day, 7 days a week—to respond in a timely manner and keep everything running smoothly. We hope that you appreciate it 😊
Thank you, The YFL Team
