Correct. I'm saying that charging less is NOT a way you can retain members.
I've raised my membership fee by $10 and give my members better quality video and regular bonus updates. Not only am I retaining better then when I had prices lower, I'm making more money a month on one site then I did on two sites in 2006 at my peak! Affiliates like making more per signup as well and promote me more heavily.
It has to do with the consumers perceived value. Prices on EVERYTHING have gone up, gas, milk, produce, everything. They expect things to be more expensive, and they retain much better when they are getting more at a higher quality along with that price increase.
