"Freemium is a business model that works by offering basic services for free, while charging a premium for advanced or special features. The word freemium is a neologism created by combining the two aspects of the business model: free and premium." - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The freemium business model was articulated by venture capitalist Fred Wilson on March 23, 2006. His idea was to, "Give your service away for free, possibly ad supported but maybe not, acquire a lot of customers very efficiently…then offer premium priced value added services or an enhanced version of your service to your customer base." Based on this description Jarid Lukin coined the term "Freemium" which has since gained popularity.
One of the first significant examples of this model functioning on the internet was Musicmatch Jukebox, an all in one music management tool, which surfaced in 1999 and was later acquired by Yahoo. The basic service offered was free while the $19.99 upgrade allowed for enhanced features and faster ripping and burning.
To this day, the freemium model continues to gain in popularity especially among Web 2.0 companies. According to the New York Times, freemium is "becoming one of the most popular business models among web start-ups." Some of the better known sites using the model today include Pandora, Flickr, LinkedIn, Skype and now RealUp.
With the rapid success of other freemium models, the current conditions of the economy and the high prices of competitors in the industry, what better time than now for RealUp to introduce the freemium model into the commercial real estate world. Owners, brokers and investors are searching for more affordable and efficient ways to access industry information and to market their commercial properties online. RealUp offers the services at the best value – free.
RealUp's business model is in perfect harmony with the freemium model. Our current services include free memberships, free listings, free searching, free sales comps, free demographics, free professional profiles and free lending quotes. These free features are continuously drawing commercial real estate professionals to our site which allows them to access all of the tools and information they need completely free. As we move out of our beta period, members will be able to pay for value added services such as listing and profile enhancements, email blasts, exporting and more.
With RealUp's traffic, memberships and listing data continuing to grow rapidly and our value added services nearing release, this Web 2.0 company is shaping up to be the beacon for the Freemium Revolution.
