We thought about doing a free table and just haven't done it but it's definitely a cool idea.
We took the free day trial and made it two weeks. We've noticed that folks who come in for a day often some how pick the day with the least people, so 2 weeks give them time to see if they like it, and see what more than just one day is like. We haven't implemented bonus months for pre-paying but that's on next years list for sure to encourage that type of payment John Wilker Founder, 360|Conferences (720) 381-2370 twitter: jwilker (http://twitter.com/jwilker) johnwilker.com (http://johnwilker.com/) | 360|MacDev (http://360macdev.com/) | 360|Flex (http://360flex.com/) | 360|iDev (http://360idev.com/) On Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 11:00 AM, Jerome Chang wrote: > I like the one free table idea that when it was not available one too many > times, they actually purchased a plan.
