Monetization - Pricing Your Offer
Turn Your App into a Sellable Product
To successfully monetize your app, you need to transform your features into clear, structured offers that partners can easily understand and buy.
Instead of selling individual features, you should create packages combining visibility, engagement, and access.
π The easier it is to understand, the easier it is to sell.
1. Think in Packages, Not Features
Avoid selling isolated elements like:
- β1 post in the News Feedβ
- β1 event sponsorshipβ
Instead, combine them into complete offers.
π You are selling solutions, not features.
2. Build Simple Sponsorship Tiers
A classic and effective approach is to create tiered packages:
Example:
Gold Package
- Premium visibility (News Feed + featured content)
- Event sponsorship
- Dedicated partner page
- Multiple touchpoints
Silver Package
- Regular visibility (News Feed)
- Presence in selected events
- Limited content exposure
Bronze Package
- Basic visibility (logo, mentions)
- Presence in partner section
π This structure makes decision-making easy for partners.
3. Combine Multiple Channels
Your packages should include a mix of:
- Content (News Feed, posts)
- Visibility (logos, banners, pages)
- Events (sponsorship, presence)
- Engagement (interactions, promotions)
π The more complete the package, the higher the perceived value.
4. Price Based on Value, Not Features
Pricing should reflect:
- The quality of your audience
- The level of engagement
- The number of touchpoints
π You are not selling impressions β you are selling access and impact.
5. Keep It Simple and Clear
Your offers should be:
- Easy to understand
- Clearly structured
- Transparent in what is included
π Complexity reduces conversions.
6. Adapt to Your Audience
Your pricing and packages depend on your ecosystem:
- Medikka β institutions, pharma, research partners
- Movn β brands, clubs, local sponsors
π Align your offers with who you are selling to.
7. Create Entry Points
Make it easy for partners to start:
- Offer a basic package
- Allow short-term or trial visibility
- Upsell to higher tiers later
π Lower barriers = more deals.
8. Evolve Your Offers Over Time
Start simple, then improve:
- Test what works
- Adjust pricing
- Add new formats
π Your packaging should evolve with your community.
β Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Selling individual features instead of packages
- Overcomplicating offers
- Pricing too low (undervaluing your audience)
- Not adapting to your target partners
- Offering too many options
π‘ Pro Tip

π Clear structure β easier sales β faster decision
π Summary
- Package your features into clear offers
