Looking for opinions and thoughts etc on a general question, that is applicable to me in this moment.
It's regarding whether it's better to have a separate store for girls getting messy content, and another for boys getting messy content. (I would probably put femme domme scenes in the former category as the same type of customers seem to like girls getting messy, & girls trashing boys) , or better to have one big store covering everything, as Slymsford's Sploshers has been since day one.
It's relevant to me now because I have kept my subscription prices locked in for (I think) over 4 years now (tell me if I am wrong and I will edit) . I've held the price for the 'SS Plus' package, the package that offers streaming of all scenes over 3 months old, plus 65% off downloads, at $25 a month or $50 for 3 months (which equates to less than $17 a month) since I started subscriptions, even as the number of scenes has grown every month.
I like having a really good value offer that rewards my loyal customers and I have held the price through periods of really high inflation as it felt like something positive I could do.
However , with over 1750 scenes available to my subscribers now, and my costs always rising, I think I am now at the stage where I have to make a decision on pricing.
I could just put the prices up a little. But another alternative would be to peel off the 'boys only' scenes into their own store.
Candy has 'Candy Guys' and I think other producers go this route too.
I have always liked the idea of having all the content in one big store and resisted this option.
But if I took out the 100s of 'Boys only' scenes and put them in their own store with their own subscription package, then perhaps that would be better. It might also make it easier for people to find the specific content they like, and perhaps even more important, I could hold prices down.
Each set of customers could find the scenes they wanted and see fewer scenes that didn't suit, plus I could hold the prices. Of course the subscription packages would show as having fewer scenes, and I am worried that that may deter people, but on the flip side, it might make it easier for everyone to get what they want.
So, as often, I am prevaricating.
So I wondered what the community thought was best, and particularly those who subscribe to any store on UMD.
One final thing...I haven't done a shameless subscription plug in eons so this seems as good an opportunity as any...so...please check out our subscriptions . I think they're great value, and if you subscribe today, you future proof yourself against *any* price rises for as long as you are a member. Cancel anytime. Shameless plug ends.
I'm gay, like 100%. I have absolutely zero interest in women sexually. But i have bought some CFNM and femme domme scenes over the years including yours and really enjoyed them. My main thing is seeing good looking guys getting as messy as possible and i'm not too bothered about who is dishing it out. In fact sometimes the coed scenes are hotter because the guy is notably more into it with a girl trashing him. So i think it'd be a shame to lose out on those vids on a guys only section. If you do ultimately decide to separate it out maybe you could place the more coed stuff in both sites?
That said i'm not too into the subscription model and would rather just pay to purchase the scenes I want to see anyway.
I always kept the 3 genres separate with Dunk Tank Babes being the wet look girls, Gunge Tank Babes for the Messy Girls and Dunk Tank Guys for both wet and messy guys. I think it worked really well keeping them separate and promoting each store to the right people. For those around long enough, we also had Wam Extreme for a while but ended up amalgamating that with the main stores.
If someone subscribed for male content and someone else subscribed for female content, you won't get more money from either customer if the store is split.
Just have a tick box that requires bisexuals to pay more. This usless insight is brought to you by someone who has no subscriptions.
As someone who is into female content, I have zero interest in male-only or male-on-male WAM content. From that POV, it makes sense to separate them.
I do, however, quite enjoy CFNM WAM or any scene where the guy is getting pied and trashed by a girl or a group of girls. So I wouldn't want to lose access to that!
But then again, I am just one guy and I'm not sure there's a one size fits all solution
