Business price increase - GoFuckYourself.com

plsureking · 04-30-2022, 07:52 AM

so as you have prolly seen, prices of every fucking thing have gone up. i haven't seen many prices go up for SaaS or paysite products. or cams i guess. what do you think? you need to raise prices to meet the Rona recession crunch?

i haven't raised prices in a decade and my costs have actually gone down, so i don't need to raise them myself. every fucking mofo out there in the real world raised prices tho. even the coffee shops. i wouldn't blame anyone for jacking up prices 10-20%.

what u think??

I agree

Price raises are usually related to increased production cost and companies usually have no choice but to do it.
But when it comes to digital goods, especially SAAS , this might be not a wise option when there is competition.

I wouldn't raise the prices unless it's absolutely necessary,
but not because other people are doing it.

I would save the resulting price advantage
for future financial emergencies.

I'd say for a tech/saas product standpoint, prices have gone down in the last ten years... Your pricing looks fair, especially since you charge for data transferred.

Do some testing with price points.... See what works best and then use that.

this...

models haven´t raised their prices, I personally work for myself, filming, photography and resell. I pay tax and vat on my product, my living, my earnings and i´m not putting my prices up as the guys coming to me cannot afford more when the cost of living has gone up...

i know it sucks, but that´s life

groceries and gas are twice as expensive but ad network CPMs haven't changed

i think its a problem for the whole adult industry, most revenue comes from whales with disposable income, and people have less disposable income today than they did 5 years ago.

I don't think our revenues will grow with inflation.

PornCMS has flat rate plans. i don't charge for data transfers or bandwidth overages. the only metric i look at for billing is disk space.

most of my income is from custom programming and my hourly rate hasn't changed since 2008. i thought about increasing it, since there's a shortage of programmers, but i like choosing my projects and clients. the clients i want to work with don't have corporate budgets (or corporate assholes).

i use some Zoho services. they increased their prices in January. i haven't seen any other SaaS increase prices tho.

people all over the world are feeling the squeeze these days. we moved back out of the US to cope with this recession. it could be a long one..
