Have to say, I prefer to pay upfront. The idea of paying you $85 a month for a package is, frankly, scary. I appreciate you've probably looked at it and thought - well, its only $8.50 per vendor, think of the money you'll make from the vendors advertising with you....
Whilst that is true, I don't see why I should pay you $1020 a year for the privilege! You've way overpriced yourselves when there are other packages around that, OK don't perhaps look as nice, but are cheaper, some even free.
Just my 2c... If it was $85 a year, then I'd be interested, or perhaps $295 upfront.
Put it in perspective - Jelsoft only charge, what $90 a year or something for
VB?
Lastly - is it worth £1020 a year and that's for only up to 10 vendors! I can't beleve you seriously expect people to pay $3000 a year if they've got a network of 50 vendors on their site....
I can see it from your point of view, why you would want to charge a monthly / annual fee - my point is that you've totally pitched it wrong.
As I said above, if it was an annual fee of MAX $150, I'd sign up now. As it is, no thanks - as Superb as it may be. Your software should provide the tools to make me money off the site, not simply hand $245 over to you each month, who gives you the right to think that you should be rewarded for my success!
Either review the pricing or get rid of the vendor limits for $85 a month... Or change it to $25 per month up to 20 vendors, $50 up to 50 vendors, anything over that is $85pm.
I doubt there are 20 vendors in my market segment for my site, let alone 50!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking your work or the product - its simply not priced right in my opinion. I can see why you've priced it the way you have, the problem is that I feel ripped off by the pricing.
Not to mention the fact its on a per site basis... I have a couple of sites I'd like to use it on, but I sell advertising across the network, so I'd be paying you twice but only being paid once for the advertising - if you get me. Plus one is a lot bigger than the other site, so it would end up costing me money at $85 a month instead of making me money...
