Whether you’re a growing start-up or an established service operation, consistency in your fee structure is important. The last thing you need is a surprise increase in cost to your customers. On the other hand, you want flexibility and ease if and when you decide to change your pricing model.
You’re perpetually concerned with the satisfaction of your customers. You don’t want to lose business because of growing pains or sudden price increases. You want to provide your customers with some assurance that what they pay now will not change. You as a merchant want to know that there is some stability in how much it costs you to bill for your service. Grandfathered pricing is the answer.
Let’s say I need to change my pricing, but I’m concerned with the effect it will have on my current customers. The last thing I want is to aggravate my client base and lose business, but I need to start charging new clients more in order to make revenue. What can I do?
A service that offers a guarantee or lock on pricing plans, would enable me to avoid these types of issues. The problem comes with finding a service that offers a grandfathering feature that allows for the consistency and flexibility I need and want.
Price grandfathering on GetCheddar offers exactly that. It provides the manageable flexibility needed to switch setup fees and pricing plans for new customers, while maintaining previous plans for existing customers.
Now, this doesn’t mean that you can’t change your current recurring billing charge. Cheddar enables you to make changes to a recurring charge amount for both existing and new customers. This type of flexibility will ensure that you and your customers remain satisfied.
Cheddar offers merchants a guarantee on their costs; what you pay now will be what you pay while you remain subscribed to your current plan. No surprise pricing changes. If Cheddar happens to change its pricing model, current subscribers are grandfathered in and will pay the same price that they’ve always paid.
Users of Cheddar can be sure that this is 100% guaranteed, because Cheddar actually uses itself to bill its clients. In other words, Cheddar uses Cheddar to bill you. The same great features that are an asset to Cheddar are also available to its clients.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
