Try to simplify your pricing a little bit, instead of having three tiers, have one. To be honest I prefer to just pay you your hourly rate for what work you do do.
You got my bookmark youngun, now get off my lawn!
Imagine if a consulting firm like Accenture took your diamond package; they could easily swamp you with a huge amount of work. Perhaps you should keep a separate "enterprise" pricing level.
I'm saying this because your pricing model is completely nuts. My gut feeling tells me it means one of two things:
- I should set my expectations very low. For that price you're either outsourcing most of the work or making heavy use of one-size-fits-all templates.
- You're working alone and don't sleep at all! This means the Diamond Unlimited pricing won't be worth it for a long time.
Either way, best of luck.
Common Sense also comes in the play, in America it's not uncommon to see homeless people go to an all you can eat buffet and while they can pay for a meal, they'll try to camp out there and eventually a manager will escort them out.
I definitely don't like unlimited when it comes to anything though, that goes for data as well. For example if you get an unlimited T-Mobile plan and you're using 10 terabytes a month, you're going to either get throttled or kicked off the service.
I'd much prefer laws to be in place which would force T-Mobile to advertise 500 gigs a month or whatever the actual allotment is. Likewise charging someone $1,500 for unlimited revisions is almost soft fraud because it's absolutely impossible for that to scale. Once you get more than three or four clients you would end up telling them actually I can only do four revisions a month.
As I said in my other comment here I'd much prefer to just pay his or her hourly rate.
As other posters have said, offering unlimited designs might give some customers unreasonable or demanding expectations. Will an 'unlimited' option swamp you with revision requests?
Another suggestion: make your work a more prominent showcase on your website. Potential customers what to see examples of your app designs and user stories. Your current designs don't have any context - they are simply mockups (good-looking mockups) with no description. Do they need more detail and context? A case study for example. Make it clear to customers what they can get from your service - show off you work in the best possible light to catch their interest. Good luck :-)
It's not 200 ideas. It's one idea that keeps evolving with feature creep.
Low-price & unlimited mostly attracts cheapskates. If you're lucky, you'll have one client who has self-control. You'll quickly encounter a really really bad client who'll force you to use a different biz model.
Usually when people approach me with startup ideas they only have 1 or 2 that they may want to pursue.
Nightmare customers.
Honestly this looks like its just a small retainer with poor upfront expectations.
