3 months is sufficient

 

I would say it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Increased sales? A special treat for people who have been members of the forum for a while? Spread the word about your product?

I can understand wanting to give a forum discount, but if you have a time requirement, especially over 3 months, most people are going to go with another product. Personally, I'm not going to wait if I have the cash now to buy. That just means you're going to lose potential customers.

I would count time as a member and not the number of posts. Alot of people read but do not post much. I think 6 months is good.

 

That is the delima that I am facing, but I also do not want someone to join and then call and want the member price, and I have had people call and get in on the group by for the forum members and they had just joined. I am still kicking the idea around. I do not want to turn anyone away, and do not want anyone to ride the coat tails of all who are true members and contribute to everyone on here.

 

Wayne you will never please everyone all the time and will have some people that you will never please regardless of what you do. I think a 90 day grace period is good w/o counting post. I read here alot but post very little. As long as a person has a good product like you do and are willing to stand behind their product like you do i think people will still buy from you because people want a good product and good that they know the seller will stand behind.

 

I'd keep it simple.

Nobody is going to join the forum in order to get your discount, they probably won't even know about your discount until AFTER they join.

Simple is good.

My 2 cents.

 

Agreed. I lurked around here for a few months before joining, just read and learned quietly haha...

Firecap, I could understand if you're trying to promote tenured membership in the forum, but I don't really think that's your main goal...

 

Glad I got the setup I have from you Firecap. Added a Hogtunes Tweeter Pod to the mix and now its too loud. Great problem to have I know. I may just be getting old but I love it.

 

Hey Fiecap I bought your amp and speakers last year and I am having trouble with it. I will be driving down the road and the radio has no sound, if i shut it off and turn it on again it works for about 5 min. What do you think is wrong?

 

indecision cost a sale... im going another route...i dont want to wait for a decision or a timeframe to buy, im buying now...

best wishes
