incentives for going 'Pro'
(2 posts)-
I have a question or suggestion for the payment schedules for going 'Pro'.
There is set price for 'one year', a somewhat lower (over time) price if you pay for '2 years', and a price for 'lifetime membership'. If I were to pay for one year, then the next year comes around and I pay again, but later I decide I want to go with a Lifetime membership: would I have to pay the full price all over again?
If a certain percentage of a year's payment could apply toward a Lifetime membership, it could be enough incentive to join.
For example, I have a membership at a health foods co-op, which allows for 10% off on "member days" and a rebate check of a few dollars at the end of the year depending on how much was bought. The membership is $200 (which is equivalent to a "lifetime membership")... but you can pay $25/year, and when $200 has been paid up, you get the 'lifetime membership'. Before this deal, memberships were $25/year as the only option, with no ability to pay for a lifetime membership.
If 100% of what is paid could be applied toward a Lifetime membership is not feasible, how about a percentage or a 'credit' or 'point' system. That is, if you could not pay for a Lifetime membership right away, but pay for a year, if a percentage of what you paid could result in a certain percentage or dollar amount off of a Lifetime membership, perhaps with a set of 'points' or credit, it would provide an incentive for some to go ahead and pay the difference and buy the Lifetime once they have accrued enough points. For example, when membership payments come due, those who have paid for a one-year membership can get 20% off a Lifetime membership (or 10%, or whatever Geni determines feasible), and those who paid for 2 years could get 40% or 30% off. Something like that.

I believe this was offered to people that got Pro accounts before lifetime was an option. I don't know how they handle it for people who got Pro accounts after that.
