The pricing model of the Business Email Product is based on discounts, depending on the number of months any Plan's Order is purchased and renewed for. This feature is referred as Telescopic Pricing.
-
You may display on your SuperSite a minimum of 1 and only a maximum of 2 Business Email Plans for each Geo Hosting.
-
If you do not want to sell a particular Plan category, you would need to stop offering the parent Business Email <Geo> Product entirely. See details
Set Business Email Plans Selling Price (Anchor: plans)
BlueHost China allows you to set Telescopic Price ranges for all Business Email Adds and Renewals for each Plan. This simply means that you may offer your Customers and Sub-Resellers increased discounts as and when they may choose to add / renew their Business Email Orders with you for multiple months.
Example:
Suppose that your Cost Price for Plan A is USD 5 per month. Depending upon your business model, you may set your Selling Price for 12 months as USD 10 per month. Now, if a Customer wished to add a Hosting Order under Plan A for 12 months, he would be charged USD 120 (USD 10 per month). However, with the Telescopic Pricing model, you may set a reduced price of say, USD 8 per month. In this way, your Customer is charged USD 96 instead of USD 120, thus, availing a discount for purchasing for a longer duration.
