New Fan Club Package Updates

I just wonder why he said they were archiving all that stuff. Is it because of the JBJ Experience? Is it because he's moving fully to Florida? Is it because he's closing the book on the band?

I strongly suspect it's because there is nothing else to do right now.

I think you are overinterpreting.
The archive he was posting weeks back was from Nashville were the Fan Club is located as well.

Its definitely cool to see this stuff but a ten minute video showing a half fraction of what is in there isn't worth the price of The Experience.

All his cool signature outfits are in Hard Rocks and Hall Of Fame type places.

What I found interesting is that some of the most simple t-shirts he's worn are in there... I could see saving big stage outfits but the most simple t-shirts like "tell your mom I said hi" just shows that anything the guy wears out in public becomes somewhat of a staple to his fans.

But as we all know the price of the Experience isn't priced around a single piece of content/video. First words out of your description were "very cool", I guess I don't get the dislike for the package you're having?

Pretty boring video, really. I like the fact that he's kept so much stuff but for 80% of it, he either had no idea what it was for and didn't sound enthusiastic throughout it. Not asking him to do a big song and dance obviously but it was just a bit flat.

I think people are starting to get annoyed on what's been promised and what's been offered thus far. Not talking about the boxes, but about those having subscribed to the silver package. We're about 1/4 into the annual subscription and yet, there's been no sign of any outtake or a show from the vaults, both of which Jon had announced in the promo video.
Of course, we can always end up saying "it's ok because it's $80 for a whole year". But do we always have to end up with the fact that "the content at least somewhat justified the price"?
If you want to get a business model going, you'd have to have people say "wow that was more/better than what I'd expected" for starters. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure a large number will be gone after year one, even if they continue with the service. Again, it's not about firing out shows and demos day by day, but if a good number of fan channels who do this after-hours can deliver stuff on a weekly basis, then a group of professionals who want to start the fan club JBJ brand back up again, should at least be able to deliver more.

This makes sense and I agree with you in that.....the die-hards will probably not renew after year one. The people that this is aimed at seem happy with it but they tend to be much easier pleased. They should be doing a lot more, no question there. But I also think this side of the fanbase expected way too much out of this project.

I've been thinking, realistically what would they have to do to make the diehards happy for that price point? For me, what they have now plus a handful of shows and let's say...5 unreleased songs. All of which is totally realistic but for whatever reason this fanbase gets ignored hard and I can't understand why we don't get a bone here and there.

You'd want to make a strong first impression that gets people to talk about the whole thing. If over the course of one year some cool stuff gets out, the whole talk about it will be distributed evenly across that time period... which means it will still have less impact than if the talk all occured at once, at the beginning.

The whole affair seems amateurish. I guess that's what you get for letting your boomer relatives run a business in the internet age.

Perfectly put.

I agree it's early days. I agree it's a year subscription and we will get more... But you've got to grab people early. Its basic business sense. If in the first month, a show or a few outtakes got put out there that we hadn't seen before, I'd probably have contemplated signing up. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one with this mindset too.
