Premium Membership Option?

[ekool]

I'm ready to get something going for the Premium Membership on the site here. I'd like to get the users feedback over what they thing we should offer, and what a reasonable price is for premium membership. Keep in mind, the PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP will be purely voluntary. Your existing membership will not change here AT ALL.

Here's what I think we can make available and we are open to suggestions.

1. Photopost/Picture Gallery (50MB Quota)
2. Email address @300cforums.com (incoming mail only, 50MB Quota)
3. Increased Private Message Mailbox (From 70 pm's to 300 pm's)
4. Acess to a customized "MyGarage" Page (6 Photos)
5. Special User Rank signifying your Premium Status

The privs would be done on a 1 year basis...

Lets hear some feedback so we can make this system work for everyone.

I have helped establish quite a few forums in the past and one thing that I have noticed that really gets people to join premium or leveled memberships is discount clubs. The email and priv msgs etc are good additions but more than anything people have been willing to jump on board when you can establish discounts with vendors with the premium membership.

Also including a simple club sticker or badge of some sort has tended to help, look for things that help establish the club along with spread the word on your part.

Just my thoughts...

Yah, I'm kicking around the idea of license plate frames, stickers, and "business cards" to include as well.

Just throwing the idea out there nwo and feeling it out.

I like the idea of a membership think. Im a memeber of a toy forum to but that only helps with adds. If the price is right sure why not.
As for swag i like the thing Tommy set up on cafe press.
Also I was hoping that Club 300 would kind of be the Office Club of the Board.

Yah.. I'm not really doing a club, more of a premium membership with perks on the forums. Me and Tommy need to get together and see what we can work out between us to help the club prosper and grow.

I agree, Ekool. There's some energy going that way. I don't see the forums and the club as mutually exclusive. In fact - just the opposite. Perhaps the premium membership would be Club 300 members - with the perks you already mentioned?

Food for thought.

the same thing you did for SRToc would be cool! I already have most of that stuff available to me on the other site. I woule be in for sure for a liscense plate frame though!

I love the idea of Premium Membership with the perks previously in place and those to come . Like Scarbrs mentioned Club 300 can be the Office Club of the Board! Great Minds work well together

If we can have a cool arcade with a premium membership just like the SRT-4 forum that would be fun!
