    Hi there, I want to encourage members to purchase a new subscription next month for a reduced cost.

    I've looked into amember and as far as I can see I should create new products, a duplicate of my 1 month, 3 month, and 6 month, plans but reduce the price.

    I can then use the email members to users of the above products and tell them to renew/extend on these new products.

    I then assume these days will pick up from their current expiry date without having to do anything.

    and

    I must remember to hide these cheap products from the sign-up page.

    is this the best way to do this offer?, this is not for any recurring subscriptions so thats good.

    I'm always afraid of confusing members, it's the easiest way to lose them. Would it be better to reduce the price on the current items and put the new duplicate items up for new signups?

    You could always generate a set of discount coupons for existing members and mail them via the system.

    Thank you for the replies. I got around this by duplicating my products with new prices.
    I then disabled the old ones from signup.

    Seems to have worked well and members have not got confused. :)
