    Geo pricing kills european sales ...

    whats wrong with program owners these days?
    i mean, charging ?29,95 is whackin crap already,
    but charging US surfers $29,95 and euro surfers
    a whoppin ?39,95 for the SAME site is hilarious!
    do ya think money grows on trees in europe? hey,
    thats a killing $60 per MONTH? are you outta
    control? ... this sucks balls big time ...
    rethink folks ... and make some reasonable prices
    for euro surfers to make more sales

    all the best

    Your poll is flawed. There's no option saying it improves sales....cause it does.

          For many the numbers say otherwise.

                          total BS! the only one making more green is the sponsor! or do ya think ya make more $$$ if a euro surfer signs up?

                          look, you meet twin hookers ... same look, same body shape, all equal ... one of them asks for $100 for a fuck, the other $200 ... which wud ya book for the shove? the $100 chick, for TWO times

                              stop saying its $60, because its not. Do you think the Europeans think how much money there network is in American Dollars. Or when they go to buy something they say how much cheaper it is in the US?

                                            If it sells at that price, why not charging it. That would be flawed only if that meant lesser bottomline from European sales.

                                              now, ask yourself ... wud euro surfers buy at $60 or rather at $30?
                                              self explaining, aint it? get your sponsors geo stats and see ...
                                              euro surfers piss on such expensive sites ... besides ...
                                              it does NOT sell at that price or very rarely ... YOU, the affiliates
                                              are fucked over by geo (over)pricing ... the sponsors make a lotta
                                              more green, but YOU as their promoter are paid in dollars ... got me?

                                                The programs don't care.. they want the money today.. as more and more european porn buyers clue in and stop buying, those same programs will be forced to change things but by then the damage will have been done.

                                                    to those who voted "doesnt affect my sales" ... show your stats lined up by COUNTRY! i bet my bony ass your sales suck big time on the euro market ... there are way more citizens in the EU than US, so show me proof you make MORE sales to EU users than US folks ... now, put your evidence (traceable and proof) here ...

                                                        i slowly get the picture ... most people didnt really read my post but only saw the poll ... the reason why i think geopricing sucks, is, because many sponsors use it in a way that fucks euro surfers over ...

                                                        example: US member pays lets say $29,95 - EU member pays €29,95, which equals to about $45 ... means, the euro surfer pays 1,5x of what a US members pays! why on earth? the worst i saw was $29,95/€39,95 which means the EU member pays about 2x ... THATs why i think geopricing (in most cases) has a negative effect on the sales ... well, why charge by country currency anyways? ppl pay with their CC and thats multicurrency payment ...

                                                          yeah, only you don't see any of this because the sponsor is paying you the standard $30 (or whatever) on all sales.

                                                          sponsor gets to keep the difference

                                                            How can anybody possibly think it's good for sales to charge more in Europe???

                                                            I own two sites, and for example one of my sites I charge $29.99 USD and charge 24.99 Euro, so that it works out roughly the same. Just seems fair and commonsense to not delibrately rip people off from certain zones...

Even when the cost is a little more, sometimes consumers just appreciate that someone is catering to them. If not, they move on

YOU are free to not do business with programs whose pricing you disagree with, just as surfers are also free to chose.

                                                                                  I would think that since you know better regarding the EU market, that you would view the situation as a wonderful opportunity to do a lot of business for yourself, rather than a reason to get mad at someone else for doing it differently!


                                                                                  Maybe this is a little outside the box thinking here, but when I see other companies doing things that I think are counterproductive, or bad for business, then I go the other direction, and try to take the market share from them by doing it better. I certainly DON'T get mad at them for doing something that brings more customers to me by contrast!
