Monetizing GeoDirectory with Info Access Privileges

Greetings:

I understand that the standard way of monetizing GeoDirectory is all about charging customers to add listings, which makes a lot of sense.

In addition to that, would it be possible to sell packages to visitors interested not primarily in advertising their product or services, but accessing the directory’s most sensitive and strategic information such as emails, contacts and so on for their own marketing campaigns or product pitches.

Example : let’s say that I started with a listing of app. 10,000 businesses with contact names, title, addresses, phone numbers and emails that I put up myself. Right now, I have no way to show or hide specific fields of information to specific categories of visitors : they can all access the same listings and the same info. But if, through some kind of Premium package, I could offer a privilege access to contacts and emails, for instance, while regular visitors can only access company names and addresses, I think that could sell well since regular visitors will have the possibility to assess the “merchandise” or database quality and will want to get more of it should it fits their immediate plans.

That would require I think that the package grants the visitors with a specific status other than “subscriber”.

Would that be possible through the current GD plugins, albeit some tweaks, or would that require a new plugin or new programming and if so, how much would it cost?

Or is there another plugin I could use that would encompass Geodirectory’s data?

You’ll agree with me, I guess, that the more ways we find to monetize GD, the more happy customers and sales volume you’ll get! 😉

Thanks,

Guy
