Yup. The price I'm seeing is $7.99/mo. Sorry - I switched to a laptop, as it's easier to type this out. Now, 10 pictures is $7.99 is $0.77 each. To keep that in mind, and do some quick math... Package 2 is 25 pictures. If we use the $0.69, then $17.25, which can be rounded down to $16.99. It's not major until you get higher. Package 3 is 50 pictures. Using the same progression, now at $0.59 per image, we get $29.50.
Package 5 is 100 pictures. Again, that's now $0.49 which works out to a price of $49.99.
If you wanted...
Package 1 could be $7.99 for 10 (each additional is $0.75)
Package 2 would be $16.99 for 25 (each additional is $0.65)
Package 3 would be $27.99 for 50 (each additional is $0.55)
Package 4 would be $49.99 for 100 (each additional is $0.45)
Something like that. 100 well printed pictures each month? That's well worth $49.99 for many of us.
That's also a lot of pictures - so the idea comes into play of having a single recipient who can have multiple authorized senders. So, the grandparent's three kids could all send pictures to the account. (There's a number of ways to decide if only x-amount get printed, perhaps the final choice is done by the payee.)
You can just email me, if you want. uninvolved@outlook.com is certain to be seen and responded to, eventually.
I don't want to derail the thread too far. I'm just trying to share some quick and dirty marketing data.
If each of my kids made me a grandfather, I'd buy a package of 100 - if they can distribute it between them. If not, I'd buy two packages of 100 - and I'd do so at the $49.99/mo price, no questions asked.
I kinda like the idea of X-dollars for X-number of pictures and then X-number for each additional pictures.
I guess if you were to do that part, you should do the ethical thing and automatically charge them the less expensive price if, for example, they want to send 25 pictures in one month. If they want to send 25 pictures that month, you might as well just charge them for Package 2.
It'd be more ethical and probably encourage people to try higher packages - and then commit to keeping that same level of shared pictures.
And, as said before, there's ton of value-added services that you could toss into this.
Feel free to email, if you want. I'll throw some time at you. I wasn't doing anything better and HN is always good at helping me out when I have a question.
Edit, I typed a number wrong.
