Usage Renewal Prices Based On Duration Options
June 19, 2024USAGE RENEWAL prices based on duration options are not split perfectly into divided values.
Two reasons:
1. We prefer the client to choose the more expensive, longer-term option.
2. Images may be more powerful, holding higher value when seen for a shorter time.
I deal with a lot of client requests regarding usage licensing rights, and they often want to know the price difference between various durations. It’s important to understand that the cost for different durations isn’t simply a matter of dividing a longer period by the number of shorter periods within it. For example, the cost for one month isn’t just one-twelfth of the cost for a year.
The impact of using an image for a shorter period, such as one month, can sometimes be greater, so we need to raise the value for shorter periods of time. It doesn’t work to just evenly divide the cost over time, and clients might not realize this. They might expect the price for a shorter duration to fit into the longer duration’s price equally divided, but that’s not the case. It’s important to know this and price your services fairly.
