1. Overview of Membership Monetization
ThriveGather’s power comes from its membership-driven ecosystem. Every room seat can be monetized through structured tiers:
- Community: Entry-level, free or low-cost.
- Pro: Paid, mid-tier with training and workshops.
- VIP: Premium, high-value with lounges and auditoriums.
- Sponsor: White-glove, no revenue share—CrownThrive manages all.
2. Pricing Framework
Community
- Price: $0–$10/month (intro tier).
- Access: Public Rooms only.
- Goal: Drive adoption, upsell into Pro.
Pro
- Price: $50/month.
- Access: Member Classrooms, Workshops.
- Goal: Scalable base revenue engine.
VIP
- Price: $175/month.
- Access: All rooms + VIP Lounges + Auditoriums.
- Goal: High-margin tier.
Sponsor
- Price: Custom packages ($500–$25,000/event).
- Access: Sponsored Booths, Sponsored Stages.
- Goal: Direct white-glove monetization, no cut to sponsors.
3. Capacity & Revenue Modeling
Each workspace (7 total) has 50 rooms:
- 7 Regional Auditoriums (602 seats each).
- 43 Clustered Breakouts (varied seats from 3 to 120).
Example (Beauty & Wellness)
- Total Seat Capacity ≈ 2,500+ across 50 rooms.
- If 50% filled with Pro ($50) = ~$62,500/month.
- If 100% filled with Pro = ~$125,000/month.
- Adding VIP ($175) raises ceiling exponentially.
Scaling across 7 workspaces:
- Conservative (50% avg occupancy) = $400k–$500k/month.
- Full (100% occupancy) = $1M+/month.
