I want to resume our previous discussions about the family discount plans. Previous thread:
https://synhak.org/pipermail/discuss/2014-January/006706.html First, I agree with Andrew's suggestion that the student and senior rates should be combined into one. $15 seems reasonable, yeah? Second, the discount system. I'd like to stick with the idea of being able to buy subscriptions in blocks. However, I'd like to adopt a constant discount rate based on how many unique individuals are being paid for, with a disjoint discount for the number of months that are bought for a single person. Here's how I think it can be broken down for a single person: * 0% discount for 1 month * 10% discount for 3 or more months And if it is for a whole group: * 15% discount for 2-6 people * 20% discount for 7 or more If multiple discounts are available, the largest one will be used. Examples: * 1 person, 1 month: $35, 0% discount * 1 person, 2 months: $70, 0% discount * 1 person, 3 months: $101.5, 10% discount of $105 * 2 people, 1 month for each person: $59.50, 15% discount of $70 * 2 people, 2 months for each person: $119, 15% discount of $140 * 2 people, 3 months for each person: $178.50, 15% discount of $210 * 7 people, 3 months for each person: $624.75, 15% discount of $735 This should be quite a bit simpler than the previous idea, and still keeps with the original idea of making it easier for couples or families to support themselves. Finally, I am considering developing a sliding scale for the low income rate. I'm not too sure how that would get implemented, but charging a percentage of membership dues based on the ability to pay seems a lot more fair than pegging everyone at $15/mo, especially since we're all about inclusiveness.
