IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

STRATEGY
Phase 1 (Launch - 3 months):
Offer aggressive promotional pricing
Build client base with loss leaders
Establish market presence
Phase 2 (4-12 months):
Transition to standard pricing
Focus on converting to PRO memberships
Implement value-based pricing for specialized services
Phase 3 (12+ months):
Premium pricing for established reputation
Expand service offerings
Implement dynamic pricing based on demand

This pricing strategy positions Onsite Fuel as:

  1. Transparent (clear, published pricing)
  2. Flexible (multiple service tiers)
  3. Competitive (aggressive but profitable margins)
  4. Value-focused (membership adds significant value)
  5. Scalable (works for small to enterprise clients)

The tiered approach ensures we capture both occasional users and lock in regular clients, while the membership model provides predictable recurring revenue and builds client loyalty.
