An opportunity for YOU to make our events more affordable without sacrificing the quality of the
party! Better yet... you will get to set the door fees!
why do this
Want a $25 door fee at
The Estate? Then accept the Platinum Challenge!
Carolina Friends has never been a money making operation... just a club
committed to holding great lifestyle parties and creating ways for the
lifestyle community to come together. We do try to operate in a business like
fashion, controlling costs and always looking for ways to improve. And by
pulling together as a club, we have been able to build our very own first
class facility, The Estate and provide a state of the art online club, Nexxus.
But we do have to pay the monthly bills associated with operating both, keeping
the club going and putting on the Hotel Events we all still enjoy. Till
now, all these expenses have largely been paid for out of the
door fees collected at each event.... with the club just breaking even!
The Platinum Challenge is a way to reduce door fees and allow more couples to
attend our events more often by being exactly what we are... a club supported
by it's Members! Your
Challenge... help us sign up the number of members we need to make it happen!
how to sign up?
Here's the Platinum Challenge...
Help us sign up 3000 to 4000 Members on the proposed Platinum Plan and we'll
lower the door fees at all club events... to as low as $25 per couple at The
Estate on Saturday Night! And there's more... be a leader in helping us reach this goal and you'll
pay as little as $15 per couple on Saturday night with some other great benefits too!
It's VERY doable... we had over 3000 couples visit The Estate just last year,
email almost 20,000 couples each week and have 38,000 couples on the club
roster! what happens
if the targets are not met
Here's the How It Will Work...
We'll begin to offer a $10 per month online membership to Carolina Friends
with
Free Club Nexxus included. As we sign up more and more members
on the new Platinum Membership, Platinum Members will begin to enjoy reduced door fees
at club events! The more members who sign up, the lower the door fees will go!
We'll continue to offer other membership options as well but with our regular
door fees still applying. what other membership
options & benefits
The lower door fees and other benefits for Platinum Members will NOT kick in till we reach
the first 1000 Platinum Members. Members who sign up for the
Platinum Membership before the benefits start
will NOT have to pay the Initiation or Upgrade fee that will be required
once the lower fees and other benefits do kick in! See the charts below for
all the details.
Even better, you can become a Platinum Star by helping us sign up New Members
for the Platinum Membership. Platinum Star Members will enjoy a further $10
discount from the new Platinum Door Fee Rates in effect at that time... rates that could
allow Platinum Star Members to attend some club events FREE! And there
are additional benefits for Platinum Star Members as
well. platinum star plan details
A Platinum Membership is only $5 a month more than our current basic membership!
Here are the Details of the NEW Platinum Membership Plan...
