More on my Theme Club idea

Sadish — Mon, 12 May 2008 13:55:07 +0000

Thanks everyone for sharing your opinions through the comment form and the contact form when I initially shared my ideas of a theme club.
I am leaning towards a slightly different idea for the theme club.

How about letting people become a member to my WordPress Theme Shop by paying an annual fee?

This way, if someone wants only some themes from the shop, they would buy them individually and if they want to have access to all of the themes, then they would buy an annual membership.

Of course, As each of my theme is currently selling at about $24, I would have to price this membership fee to a minimum of $100 per year.

What do you think about such a move? Will it work? You think you would join? Please let me know.
Thanks.

My ideas about a theme club

I am just putting down my thoughts about the “theme club” that I am going to start pretty soon.
Nothing is written on the stone, so feel free to contradict with me if you want.

All Themes at the Launch Date
I am planning to release 10 themes for the club members. All 10 themes available at the time of launch.
Nobody knows what will happen in the future and so I do not want to charge you for a theme that I am yet to release.
I have seen many people feeling dejected after joining the SP’s theme club. Even though it was just 5 dollars and he already gave 4 premium themes, people still feel dejected because they expected to get 12 themes for the 5 dollars. I do not want this to happen to my club members.

No Need for License Removal Fees
Club members can use the theme as they like and they do not have to pay any fee to remove the link in the footer. If you are a web designer, you can use it for your clients too without paying a penny to us.

Theme Customization Support
If you have been to our support forums before, you would know how many different theme customization requests we do solve every day.
Club members will get the same kind of support.

Support for Future versions of WordPress
Within an year, there will be 3 to 4 new versions of WordPress released. We will make sure we update our Club Themes to work with the different versions.

Quality of the Themes
I have been building the WordPress Themes since the day WordPress started supporting Themes [from WordPress 1.5]. I have released a whole lot of free WordPress Themes and Premium WordPress Themes. You can also see a demo of them here and there.
So, I do not need to explain what you can expect.

OK…what will be the yearly fee and when can we join?
I am finalizing the fee amount for the club, and if you would like to be the first to know,
