Starter+: The Fifth Element
January — the official month to look back and share how was the previous year. Sorry, but we will skip that part and go straight with the news…
“Last year was good”. What’s that even mean? Last year is in the past and until we find a way to travel through time, we can’t do much to change it. We can still analyze it and take note of the mistakes we’ve made before taking new challenges. That’s what the first days of January are all about.
This article is about Design Connected Subscriptions. If you are new to the subject, learn more here.
Among other things, for us, 2017 was the year of the Subscriptions. We won’t bother you with pesky stats and graphs. The fact is that we introduced a number of changes that shaped our Subscriptions as a preferred and affordable way to get new 3d models every month.
The important milestones during 2017:
Apr 12, 2017 — New Plan & Quota Shift
May 11, 2017 — Monthly Subscriptions
Jun 1, 2017 — Simplifying Quota Usage
Jun 29, 2017 — CGConnected.com Assets Added to All Annual Subscriptions
Aug 23, 2017 — Monthly Payments for Annual Subscriptions
Now, we are adding a new one:
New Subscription plan — Starter+
Howard Moskowitz, a man who have made a huge impact on the food industry, has once said “You had been looking for the perfect Pepsi. You’re wrong. You should be looking for the perfect Pepsis.”
What he meant was that there is no flavour that can satisfy all tastes. What you really need is reasonable variety.
That’s exactly what we are aiming to achieve with the introduction of our fifth plan:
Starter+ Plan in a nutshell
6 models/month
Up to 2 Signature collection or CG Connected*
Annual Subscription price — 29 EUR/month
Monthly Subscription price — 44 EUR/month
Maximum rollovers — 18 downloads**
Partner discount — 10%
*The CG Connected downloads and Partner discount are exclusive for the Annual Subscriptions
**The option to rollover the unused downloads is available only for Annual Subscriptions
Basically, Starter+ allows you to create a brand new interior, consistent of 6 top notch models, every month. For 29 EUR.
Sounds like a deal?
New, lower price for Personal plan
Starting today, the Annual Personal plan is getting about 20% cheaper — just 39 EUR/month. The price of the Monthly Personal plan remains unchanged at 59 EUR.
They will be applied to all existing Personal plan Subscribers with their next payment. Which means that they will pay less, but receive the same 9 downloads per month.
Higher Partner discounts
The introduction of Starter+ is a good moment to adjust the discounts that you can use during the period of the Annual Subscriptions. Now you can get:
Starter — 5% off
Starter+ — 10% off
Personal — 15% off
Professional — 20% off
Business — 25% off
The discounts are applied on both designconnected.com and cgconnected.com.
