PRICING STRUCTURE FACTORS

Now that you understand the benefits of each of our Membership Levels above, let us take a minute to provide you with our Pricing Structure and how that is determined.

Obviously one factor is that as you move up in the Membership Levels, the monthly cost will increase.  But there is one other factor that will determine the overall monthly cost.   That is your length of time (or Commitment) to advertise on eCommunityCoupons.com. 

Since the basis for advertising the eCommunityCoupons.com website is to use the power (or leverage) behind Co-Op Advertising; basically this a method of “pooling” together funds from the entire Community of Businesses, in order to build up the Advertising Budget, thus providing more advertising options, then a business could typically do on its own. 

By committing to be a part of the eCommunityCoupons.com website, for a longer period of time, we then know we will have an “x” amount of Advertising Dollars that can be used to promote the website to attract potential Customers.  We also know whether we can expand out our advertising to even more powerful methods.   So, the longer your commitment, the lower the monthly fee is going to be, in comparison to a Business (of the same Membership Package) that has chosen a shorter term commitment.

We do understand that there are Businesses that are “seasonal” and may only be active for a

3- or 6- month period.  This was really the only reason we incorporated these durations of time under Commitments.  We didn’t want seasonal businesses to have to pay for advertising during their “off season”.

REMEMBER – when determining the term for your Business’ commitment, keep in mind that advertising that is done “today” reaps its rewards “later” down the road.  Meaning that in advertising, it can take time to see the benefits of your actions.  Leave too soon, and you could miss the rewards that your investment had helped create.

Longevity is the “key” to ALL Advertising.

PRICING MATRIX

Below is the Monthly Pricing Matrix, based on the Membership Level that you feel is right for your Business, and the Initial Commitment for your Business on eCommunityCoupons.com. 

* NOTE:  As long as you are within your specific Commitment term, your rate is locked.  So, another benefit of a longer term is that your cost will not adjust.  Rate is not guaranteed though, after term has expired or you change Membership Levels.  In that case, the current pricing will be used.      See Terms & Conditions for further details.

MULTIPLE LISTINGS UNDER DIFFERENT CATEGORIES

Businesses that want to be listed under more than one Category Tab can do so.   Review the current available Category Tabs on www.eCommunityCoupons.com.  Then, on the sign up sheet, simply indicate the number of Category Tab(s) you feel your Business would benefit from.  When we follow up with you, we will get the specific Category Tabs from you and confirm that these make sense for your Business.  For each additional Category Tab selected, you will save not only on the Set-Up Fee, but on your monthly fee. 

Please keep in mind that the highest priced Membership Level will always be determined as your Primary Category (full rate & set up fee).  Additional Category Tabs, regardless of levels/commitment will receive the multiple listings discount.  Discount structures below:

 CORPORATIONS WITH A WEBSITE FOR MULTIPLE STORES

Some Businesses, that have multiple stores in a local area, may have their own website where people could locate the store closest to them.  Those Businesses have two choices:

•  The Company can either pay for each individual store to be advertised on the website, or…

•  They can choose to be a Platinum PLUS Member.  Then under their unique webpage, they can set up a link to the Company’s website.  And as mentioned above, the Company will want to make sure that the coupons/specials they offer are valid for each of their participating stores.

 BIRTHDAY CLUB (optional program)

The eCommunityCoupons.com Birthday is an Optional Program.  When Customers come to the website, and ask to begin receiving specials/offers, one of the first emails they will receive will be to join our “Birthday Club”.   They will have the option to put in all of their family members names and Birthdates.  Then on their specified Birthday(s), they will receive an email from eCommunityCoupons.com, wishing them a Happy Birthday, and providing them with Special offers from those businesses participating in the Birthday Club. 

We will have three (3) different age groups, and based on the Products/Services that a Business provides, they will be able to participate in one or more of the age groups.  eCommunityCoupons.com reserves the right to ensure that your Products/Service fit each of the age groups you request to participate in…this is to ensure that we don’t like a Home Cleaning Company sending an offer to the Children’s age group.    See below for Age Groups and pricing information:

NOTE:  Platinum PLUS Members are automatically a part of the Birthday Club, and based on their Products/Services, they can target up to all three age groups.
