Hi,
I want to hear some opinions on two still kind of rough ideas, which can be developed and refined with your help:
1. Tiered pricing
1.1. What is this?
- Basically freelancers and indie devs get low prices, medium companies - medium prices (2x maybe 3x indie price), large corporations - high prices (5-6x indie price?)
- This separation can be done on registering and also can be added for existing customers.
1.2. Why?
- Because, large corporations have hundreds and sometimes thousands of employees.
- The company buys model once and every single employee of that company can use it, forever. I don't think it is fair such company to pay the same price as a single indie developer.
- They have bigger budgets and can afford it.
- There is a higher security risk (of models being stolen and leaked to pirate sites).
- A lot of software companies already use this model and it works quite well
2. Additional licenses for number of uses
- single use of the model - low price (if later, customer decides to use it again, he will have to buy another license)
- up to 3 times - medium price
- forever - high price
Now I have to mention that my overall impression is that an extreme amount of models on CGTrader have insanely low prices, so when I mention above low prices, I don't mean these should have even lower prices for indies, NO.
$10 for complex interior scene is a beggar level price already and I'm sure a big company wouldn't mind at all to pay 10x, or even 20x that price (I'm sure the seller wouldn't mind the royalties too).
So, tell me what you think? Suggestions, doubts, changes, improvements, all is welcome?
Lets refine this and the relevant CGT staff may join and tell how this can (or maybe why can not) be implemented.
