Your pricing policy for Castings 65 and Internet site
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 7:40 am
Dear Pierre
I have been an admirer of your work for some time. You have consistently delivered high quality and you continue to be a legend in my eyes. I thank you!!
I am espiecially fond of your castings series. Over the years I have purchased the vast majority of them. I think i need about 8-10 more to have all of them (64). I think these are some of the best porn ever made.
I am exactly the sort of person who should be subscribing to your site and buying your new DVD - but I have not.... Why?
I will explain:
1. As I mentioned I own nearly all of your castings on DVD - highquality. I was initially attracted to your new site with the promise of unedited castings - i.e. more footage of the interviews, extended sex scenes etc. This would give me a genuine reason to join your site, but from reading on forums you have not yet released any sex initations with more footage.
2. I don't like streaming. I want to own the film either as a physical DVD or MPEG/AVI file (I make my own). I dont want to have to have internet access to watch porn. It seems that your new site only offers streaming.
3. Regarding your new DVD (Number 65) I am very, very interested in buying this. I buy my pornography, Im not a supporter of P2P and illegal downloading - I realize that people need to pay for it to keep standards high but I think your pricing is completely mad. 29.99 for a DVD plus 10euros postage to Europe is crazy - I will not pay 40euros for a DVD. Im sure that other fans of your work feel the same. As a businessman Pierre, I'm sure that you have heard of "Elasticity of demand" - the idea that the higher the price the less you sell, the key for you is to make the most profit (I assume). I believe that if your DVD were slightly cheaper in price you would sell more e.g. 25euros plus 5 euros for P&P. I also think you are out of touch with reality if you think somebody is going to buy 10x copies of your new DVD for 29.99 each - How many DVD shops do you know that buy a DVD for 30 euros then add their margin on top of it.... Not many I think!!!
As I said earlier Pierre, im exactly the type of person who should be paying you money for a porduct, and I have money to spend. But I don't want to be ripped of, so to pay 40euros for 1xDVD and 30 euros a month to stream footage that I already own in high quality seems stupid. Yes I know you have some exclusive footage but I would want to be able to download it for me to be interested. I really want your new enterprise to work pierre, but I don't see enough value for me to join.
Even some picture sets of the casting girls would get me interested, but they are not on the site
With much respect
