Back in January, we announced our forum pricing at $99/mo. for the first 50 members, with a $49 trial month. As of today we’re actually at 63 active members, but with our events in Philadelphia and Harrisburg earlier this month, we hadn’t had a chance to calculate our totals until late last week, or talk about the next steps for the forums as a group.
Going forward, we’ll be pricing the Local U monthly subscription at $129/month. But if you sign up before 7am Pacific Time tomorrow (April 1), you’ll be grandfathered in at the $99 rate.
Aside from a couple of small technical hurdles in late January, we’ve been really pleased with the growth of our forums so far. We’ve had some terrific conversations around:
- Developing a process to improve customer satisfaction
- The new Google+ Local categories as they roll out internationally
- Google’s decision to allow descriptors as part of a business name
- Location data management strategies and tools
- and more!
To recap, just a few benefits offered by our forum membership:
