Hitech, Pyro, etc... the sim to date has been excellent. I actually like it better than brand W now. Didn't think I would ever say that! Keep up the work, its outstanding. Now that I hopefully have you in my corner, lets talk about existing and the most important "New" Customer base.
Incentive Programs! Yeppers, and intially it won't cost HTC anything but some minor programing.
Since I don't know how your Corp. is setup, I'm gonna make some assumptions here. This may very well be a mute suggestion depending on the Corp. and/or (place) it was setup.
In order to build and maintain a large and dedicated Customer base, I suggest the following:
1. Offer a share/portion of HTC stock for every month they are a subscriber. Example 1/2 share for every month they subscribe. Stock would be foreited if not active for 2 months?
2. Offer a share/portion of HTC stock to member that brings in a new pilot. (new member must remain active for 6 months before stock is awarded.)
I'm also assuming that the HTC stock is not worth a large amount of money at this point. But in 2 or 3 years when HTC goes IPO. We will all have something to look back on and say I help build that sucker! Not to mention something more tangible (HTC stock) to go along with the memories.
Anyway, this came to me ina dream last nite. If I need a cold slap (down) to wake me up, feel free. I'll crawl back under my rock now
