Subscribing Member Levels

There are two levels of subscription membership on Bonanzle: the "Plus" level and "Premier" level. Users who have a green star in their profile have chosen to support Bonanzle by becoming a Plus or Premier subscribing member.

If you would like to become a subscribing Bonanzle member, you can do so by clicking here.

Here is a rundown of the benefits:

Plus Membership

Upgrading to a Plus Membership is a relatively inexpensive way for you to show your support for Bonanzle and get some cool perks for you. All of the following are included in your Plus Membership:

	Show your items however you want. Without a plus membership, buyers will by default see your items sorted from most to least expensive. With your plus membership, you can choose the sorting criteria that will be used by default when buyers enter your booth, or you can even drag your items into a completely customized order all your own.

	Google Analytics. Your Plus Membership entitles you to add a Google Analytics tracking code to all the pages for your booth, items and even your profile. This can give you information as basic as how many people per day see your items, to extremely detailed information such as where your visitors are located, who the return visitors are, and what pages they came from to find your items. This data can be used to make smart decisions about how to market your items for maximum visibility on the site.
	Eligibility to be a featured booth. Every time a buyer visits the main buy page, or the exceptional items page they see a featured booth in the left hand corner. We pick that booth from our Plus and Premiere Members. It's a great way to get noticed by people who might not have found you otherwise.
	Show you support Bonanzle. A "Plus Membership" star will be added to your profile to show your fellow Bonanzlers and potential buyers that you are a supporting Bonanzle member.

Premiere Membership

The Premiere Membership is your all access pass to the best of Bonanzle. Premiere members are the pillars of our community. They are almost always good looking, and their table manners are impeccable. In addition to all the features of the Plus Membership, Premiere members also get the following goodies:

	Eligibility to be a showcased booth in category-specific pages. Every category showcase has three huge pictures of featured booths. These are the buyer's first impression when they're looking to buy something in a given category, like Collectibles. While becoming a premiere member does not guarantee placement in the Category Showcase, it makes you eligible to be featured. If you can produce a clear and striking picture, you can be featured in up to three categories. Read all about Category Showcase images here
	Featured in item search. Like Google, we reserve the side of our search results for sponsoring members. Even when a buyer searches for a common term like "Collectibles," you now have a chance to be featured in the "Premiere Items" section of the search results within the first few pages. Note that we do not adjust the main body of search results for Premiere Members. That would make search less relevant.
	Items more likely to be featured on home page. Many of the items on the home page are selected by users in hand picked lists, but who gets first preference for the big pictures on the home page? That would be our premiere members. The big pictures on the home page are the first thing that will capture a user's attention upon visiting the site -- this is a good place to be, with tens of thousands of eyeballs seeing our home page every day.
	Collect buyer email addresses for promotions. Every longtime seller knows that there is no better future customer than a past customer. If you're a premiere member, we'll prompt buyers during checkout on whether they'd like to recieve future promotions and coupons from you. If so, you'll be notified, and receive their direct email address. When you market to a past buyer, you start with the advantage of knowing what kind of items they're interested in; and trust is already taken care of.
