Some people simply don't want to buy premium or supreme. Probably because they feel the perk set doesn't suit them. This could be shutting out potential revenue. Here is a proposition... Keep your premium and supreme ranks, but also offer perks "a la carte". Say someone only wants to buy access to the shoutbox, but doesn't care about the other perks that come with premium/supreme. This would be an opportunity to tap into the holdouts... some revenue is better than no revenue.
It would be very easy to roll out. Just duplicate the basic member group and add the perk to that rank. Make a rank for each perk being sold independently. You really wouldn't need a special rank name or badge to be displayed. A la carte users would just be basic members that happen to be flagged to have access to said perk.
Maybe something like this...
No ads - $2.50
Shoutbox access - $2.50
Profile cover photo - $2.50
Vouch threads - $2.50
Teamspeak access - $2.50
You could even do some bundles for things that go together. Maybe like...
Shoutbox + upgraded chat room - $4.00
etc etc... Basically taking your ranks and making them modular. Pretty much how every game cash shop works these days anyhow. You can pay the larger price and get everything, or pick and choose.
I bring this up, because I feel like I'm in that segment of the userbase. I really don't care about the majority of the features your ranks provide. So I'll probably never buy a rank. However, if there was a minor rank that gave me say... just access to shoutbox, I'd probably consider it.
Just another brilliant idea by me.
