Packs 101
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008People keep asking me about our new Family Packs and how they work - what they cover, how long they last, etc. I was going to write about a few ideas we’re developing for enterprise tools, but since I think the packs offer fantastic value to our customers, I thought I should take advantage of the extra real estate to clarify all their ins and outs.
Okay, let’s say you buy the Family Pack 50. That means your account gets credited with a license to order and download up to 50 Revit families from Broutek. I say “order and download” because you’re not limited to the families already in our library. If we don’t have a family you need, you simply submit your request and we build the family for you at no extra charge, usually within 48 hours.
But the real value of our packs is in their fixed pricing per family, which can add up to huge savings over buying families one at a time. Using the 50 Pack as an example again, our current price of $2,400 breaks down to $48 per family. That’s about 33% less expensive than almost any individual family you can find in our Library. If you purchased our largest Family Pack of 500, you’d be saving roughly 70% per family. And your Family Pack never expires, so you don’t have to worry about whether you’ll need new families today, next week, or next month. Packs are perfect for longer-term projects, firms with full-time Revit teams, in fact pretty much anyone who will be working in Revit on a regular basis.
Our goal at Broutek is to provide customers with fast, flexible and affordable access to high-quality content, so you can use Revit instead of making Revit. I think our Family Packs are a great step in that direction, and I hope I’ve convinced you to give them a try. If not, then I hope at least you’re not still scratching your head about them!
