#Int'l Pricing Policy
3 messages in this thread
Dear Nautilus Team,
I have just read about your new international pricing policy and I do not
think an increase of US$ 5.83/disc is justified.
I am a student from Germany and despite of being very fascinated by what
you are offering with 'Nautilus' as a product, I just will not be able to
afford a subscription anymore. I don't know by what percentage your
readership consists of students but obviously it cannot be many because
even paying the former subscription rate of US$ 149 was a big financial
burden for me and I am already working part-time for PiS, Inc. And yes, it
was worth it. You are constantly improving 'Nautilus' as well as adding new
and exciting features to it.
Overally, I think, there are two possibilties for you to transform your
pricing structure. First of all, I want to ask you to introduce an
educational discount that would reduce the price to a more convenient level
for students such as myself. Secondly, you could make the technical support
an option to customers which would be reflected in the subscription rates.
Personally, I don't need an international toll-free number for data
communication nor do I need any kind of free phone support. I just want to
receive my monthly 'Nautilus' disc– period.
Let me add that I have extensively programmed in 'OpenScript' ever since
Toolbook became available and it is really impressive what you have
established with 'Nautilus'. Congratulations 🙂
Kindest Regards, Chris
Chris,
Thanks for your comments regarding our international pricing. We are
constantly evaluating our pricing options and I'll make sure that we
consider your comments and suggestions.
Again, thanks for the ideas and the kudos.

I have been pleased with my first copy of Nautilus. However if the
international pricing policy is in place at renewal time I will have to
give serious consideration to a further subscription. Like Chris I have no
need for toll free numbers or international BBSs. I can understand that
native language versions would be an extra cost but to those of us in the
UK or those happy with an American version should not be penalised.
I hope you give serious thought to this policy or you may find
international growth nipped in the bud.
Steve
