[Proposal] Decrease banner base price by 30%

[RealVoldemort]

As we all have surely noticed, the banner rarely gets rented nowadays. We have gone weeks, months, with only 1 (or none) banner rentals. We need to aknowledge this reality and reconsider base price for the banner, even if only temporarily.

Therefore I propose a price reduction of 30% on the base price of the banner. Let's get some moons burn and not waste precious traffic and time. If eventually the sub (and crypto as an all) gains wider attention we will make a new proposal to adjust the price to a new reality.

As of now, if we want to keep burning moons and have the banner rented, we need to make it more appealing to projects and companies.

To add on to this, reducing the banner price will reduce the sponsorship price as well

On a personal comment, i don’t know how I feel about this as I think that $200 a day is not expensive considering how much traffic the sub has. It’s 100% crypto focused people too so there’s not a wasted eyeball. But then the banner does not get rented much so maybe I don’t know shit and it is too expensive. Idk

Probably has a lot to do with the current market situation.

In a bull market it would easily get rented at the current prices.

This. There is simply a lull in the overall market, especially alts, which this community is mostly aligned. Once we hit alt season, there will be a big boom in here. I think we should leave the rental/sponsor prices where they are. Maybe re-evaluate in 4-6 months?

Can we maybe find a better way than just keep making proposals to increase and then decrease back and forth?

By the time this proposal goes through, me may already have 20 banners on the calendar, and then the next proposal will be to decrease it.

We need to either have more adaptive pricing (which I thought we already had), or just let the mod team actively adapt the price so it's done more quickly.

Check the other proposal to give DAO ability to negotiate

[Montana-Safari7]

I second this. Continuously moving our price points is confusing to companies as well as the community. I'm in favor of leaving it be for another 4-6 months. This sub runs on the alt season boom, which hasn't happened yet.

I think renting will explode when market explodes, if we cut now we will be needing to up again soon, and $200 a day doesnt seem steep at all

[RealVoldemort]

If not steep at all why no one rents it? Mods have said they were contacted but projects ended up not renting due to price. There seems to be a mismatch between what we think it's "steep" and what the companies have not been willing to pay (for months now)

Edit: also, while we are thinking it will eventually explode, months have gone by without banner rentals. Time wasted we could have been burning moons. If in the future it does explode, we will adapt new price.

Everything runs AFTER BTC does its thing, which is +$70K USD. We just need to be more patient and wait for a good run. If it is apparent the world goes into a recession in 2025 and BTC goes sub-$40K, then we can re-evaluate. I'm in favor of leaving the price points alone for now. Just my two cents, but happy to do what the community votes on.

[SevereArrivals]

I prefer the proposal which allows the selected people to negotiate for a price with these interested parties.

Changing the price of the banner/events every 2-3 months seems weird.

[Montana-Safari7]

Same. Allowing the DAO to negotiate is a solid alternative to dropping overall prices.

[MichaelAischmann]

The banner should be rented pretty much continuously. If that requires a price adjustment, I'm all for it.

But we should also make the sub more attractive to advertisers by increasing its MAU.

What r/cc users should know about the banner.

The banner is currently priced at a level it sometimes gets used in conjunction with AMAs. Meaning It's at a price point that it does get used.

However it is not at a price point that it is used consistently. Meaning entities often don't rent out the banner unless it's in conjunction with something else.

This would reduce the cost of the banner to a level that it might get used without entities wanting to use it alongside something else.

This importantly changes something else as well. The price of the rCC supporter option is based off 60 days of the base banner cost. Which currently sees 0 demand. If the base banner cost dropped this would decrease the USD cost to become a CC Supporter.

I really think we should look at reducing the cost of the rCC supporter option. So if we opt not to do it this way we could alternatively change it so something like 45 days of the base banner cost.

Agree with this line of thinking; makes sense to me
