Suggestion for the "Familientarif":

If we take an average family with two adults and 2 kids and all are being interested to become a member there is a ground fee for all of 100 Euros, if one takes a keycard 150 Euros per month. That might be a lot of money for some familys.

So my suggestion is that if both adults of a family becomes a member the kids should be for free. As the adults are responsible for the kids (means the kids are not allowed to work without parental survey) they are always working as a team so they can't block any tools on their own.

If the kids needs an membership there should be a family membership available which takes care of this.

My Two Cents: When it comes to rebates for a certain user-group (in this case families), I think we should consider a couple of points:

1. Are we already in a position to grant rebates (financial dimension)

2. What is the base for the rebates?

3. What groups do we want to offer rebates for?

The first point has to be answered by our managers.

About point two: If we take up your suggestion, there could be two rebate bases: Either a mass rebate (4 new members only pay two memberships) or a social rebate (we want to ::support families).

I would see a family rebate as a social thing. However (and this is a very personal statement), I think there are other groups which I would prioritize more when it comes to rebates. Namely I am speaking of people with lower or no income. In Heidelberg, this group is eligable to get a Heidelberg Pass. This would also cover families which might not be able to otherwise afford the membership of the space.

For anybody who has enough money, I would personally not see the need of offering discounts. What the space offers is already very cheap. In the end we all get access to fully equipped workshops for just 25€/month. For just 50€ more we even get 24/7 access. I don´t think there are many other places which offer comparable services at such a price :)--NitramLegov (talk) 17:26, 4 November 2018 (CET)
