ok, so $10 per month sites are already almost 1 year old...so do they retain better ? - GoFuckYourself.com

polish_aristocrat · 05-17-2004, 05:05 PM

When they were introduced by adult.com and then by other companies, many webmasters were shocked. Now the $10 per month sites are still here, but on the other hand, they haven't caused a massive exodus from the previous billing model ( cheap trial / expensive monthy membership ) preffered by most big sponsor programs.

It would be interesting to hear if they really retaing far better, since this was apparently the main idea behind them.

Anyone knows

I like the idea of $10 or less. I would even go down to $7.95

all the little services I have on the internet are $9.95 or less

I'm speaking as a customer here...

I would also like to know

StRoGE · 05-17-2004, 05:14 PM

It would only make sense that the retention rate was higher, but I'd like to see some hard numbers so I can work it out for myself and decide which program I want to stick with.

Excellent question. I wonder if anyone has hard stats rather than general opinions.

Sly_RJ · 05-17-2004, 05:15 PM

I'm going to place my bet on "no". Thanks.

I agree.

Once they buy $10 compared to 24.95 wouldn't really matter in terms of money earned from retention. That is if they get what they're paying for. People want porn and will pay a high price for it.

$7.95 is the magic number.

I would do you $5.95 re-cur weekly

Elli · 05-17-2004, 05:39 PM

I would lookinto and cancel an unknown 24.95$ charge, but anything less than 10$ would slip under my radar.

woj · 05-17-2004, 05:40 PM

I'm pretty sure they retain better...

but!!! -> members would have to retain 3-4x longer compared to $39.99 sites, to make the same amount of money... and I doubt that's the case...

05-17-2004, 05:41 PM

I don't see them recur better, I rather see them upsell more aggressively inside the members area.

EviLGuY · 05-17-2004, 05:43 PM

I doubt you'll get a straight answer to this question..

If they stick around then they are doing alright.

You're probably right.
And yes, they are around but on the other hand they haven't taken over the adult market and are still a very small segment of this industry.
