Founding-member price, locked for life
Give early adopters a price that never goes up — even when you raise prices later — using ArraySubs’ automatic price lock-in.
- Early price locked forever
- Automatic on purchase
- Raise prices risk-free
A founding-member offer rewards early subscribers with a price locked in for life. The mechanic is built into ArraySubs: subscription prices are locked at the time of purchase, so when you raise the product price later, existing subscribers keep paying their original rate — only new subscribers get the new price. This recipe shows how to run a founding-member launch and then raise prices with zero disruption.
- Founding members lock in $15.00/month for as long as they stay subscribed.
- Raising the price later only affects new subscribers.
- No coupons or manual tracking needed — lock-in is automatic.
- A genuine scarcity/urgency hook for launch.
