Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - I need your feedback on new price changes (AK370Z)

Hello everyone,

As you know we moved to a new server yesterday. This is a powerful server and costs way more money than the previous ones. As much as I hate to increase any prices, I'm forced to do this in order to keep this site online. As I have said before, I WILL NOT implement any price changes if you guys are not comfortable with it. So, please vote on the top. It'll be open for about a week.

I am planning on increasing

Premium Membership (NO DECAL) from $10 to $15

Premium Membership (WITH Decal) from $15 to $20.

Even with the price increase ($15) , you're only paying about $1.25/month. That's really really low in my opinion. What can you get for $1.25 these days!

As for Membership with Decals, by the time I subtract the decal production cost, shipping fee to me for original shipment, shipping fee to you, envelope, printing instructions etc, it's costs at least $5. So the extra $5 goes almost 100% in making/sending the decal to you.

I have decided NOT TO increase the pricing of the vendorship at this point. I understand that we are living in a pretty bad economy. The whole auto industry is a bit sore in this down economy. I have decided to keep the price same as it lists on the top right hand corner. Instead of increasing the price and losing vendors, I rather keep the same price and keep them here. My only request to our forum members would be PLEASE SUPPORT our vendors. Try to do ALL your shopping from them. This way you will help keep this site online and keep the vendors here.

You'll also see this TIRERACK banner logo displayed under the Tire/Wheels section. I know many members has already bought Winter rim/tires from TireRack (incl. me). Those of you plan on buying the winter setup from Tirerack please visit the site by clicking on the banner and then place the order. TireRack will recognize that the sale was originated from The370Z and will give the forum a small amount.

Also, a few suggested that taking away some of the things (i.e less lines/words in sig, sig pic upload only for premium, very small avatar etc) MAY encourage regular members to sign up for the Premium Membership. What's your thought on this?

So, vote on the top. It'll be open for about a week. Support our paying vendors. If you see someone trying to conduct business or sales on public forum or via pm, please report them to me.

thanks
