2024 pricing review and related tasks

Opened this issue · 3 comments

We recently posted on the blog about the fact that our costs have gone up, and we have a large expense coming up, and also maybe we should consider registering for VAT:

The discussion is generating some ideas for things that somebody should do so thought it would be a good idea to collect some of these ideas, they should be broken into their own tickets really but for now I thought I'd get them written down:

  • Compare prices and features to nearby co-working (& workshop) spaces #1920
  • Compare prices and features to nearby mailbox services
  • Do some projections with different price points (and the current prices) to see how well they cover the costs.
  • Do some marketing (I suppose it could be "prices going up in 3 months but lock in a low low price now!" type thing, but then that would suggest prices /weren't/ going up soon 🤔 "
  • Run more courses
  • Do a mailshot to let people know about the blog post (and Makefest, parties?)
  • Coordinate with similar social enterprises, e.g. Liverpool Tool Library, Kittie's Launderette or with related businesses (Screwfix, etc.)
  • Increase membership through advertising

I had a task on a recent Directors meeting to "mention increasing membership through advertising in the issues/mailing list post and get ideas for where to advertise." Anyone have suggestions of where we could advertise to get new members in??
