If the economy tanks, will subscriptions become a panacea?
- netcan 18y agoOne thing to remember is that any large economic upturn or downturn is more a sideturn then anything else. How much 'consumers' spend only moves a little bit. Even if your market is marks 'decline in GDP' exactly, you probably have such a small portion of it that it is indistinguishable from the effects of any of the normal factors that have an effect on sales. But when you get into little areas, there's big changes. Markets can double, halve or stay the same. Common sense says luxuries go down, basics stay similar & thrift items go up. Theoretically, there are almost as many opportunities to be expected as threats.
- eru 18y agoRight. Of course the general mood of people changes though.
- michaelneale 18y agoI am quite interested in that - do they service countries other then the US (I haven't bothered looking cause everytime I do the answer is no).
- swombat 18y agoAnyone use Zuora? How are they?
- hexiumvii 18y agoHas anyone tried them? Any idea on pricing?
- blurry 18y agoJust got some pricing info from Zuora... the subscription service is 2% of invoiced amounts with a $1,000 monthly minimum. Expensive!
- rrival 18y agoI can safely say that subscription novelties industry (StartupSchwag) is currently experiencing negative growth. Go figure ;)
- blurry 18y agoIf anyone at Zuora is listening... I just had to submit my full name, company name, title, location, email and phone number, all just to get to your data sheet, which turned out to be nothing more than a 2-page press release with no information whatsoever. No pricing to be found anywhere on your website either. What are you hiding?
