Photoshoots format for 2025!

Hi patronites! 🎄 I know the Christmas cheer is still in the air and the festivities might still be going strong, but I wanted to take a moment to talk about something important as we head into the new year 🥰

As we move forward into 2025, I’ve been reflecting on how to make Patreon even better and more exciting for you. After gathering your amazing feedback and considering some of the suggestions shared recently, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we structure the monthly photoshoots moving forward!

Here are the options:
💡 Option 1: Keep the current structure of three full photoshoots each month, exclusive to specific tiers:

1️⃣ 3 Exclusive photoshoots assigned to specific levels 👇

💡 Option 2: Divide the monthly photoshoots into smaller portions across the tiers, giving everyone a taste of multiple sets, while still ensuring the highest tier (Level 100) gets the most content and the best value. Lower tiers would get fewer photos from the higher-tier sets.

2️⃣ Photoshoots divided between levels 👇

I know this time of year is super busy for everyone because of the holidays and festivities, but I need to talk about this now since I want to implement the changes in January for testing. If the chosen format works well, we’ll use it for the rest of 2025. This way, we can try it out and adjust if needed! ❤️

I’ll be making a separate post soon with all the updates I’m planning, including changes to the reward tiers and how levels will be streamlined in 2025. But for now, I really want to focus on this question because it’s all about how you’ll receive your rewards—and your opinion matters so much to me! 🥺💕

Please vote in the poll below or leave a comment with your thoughts. Let me know what works best for you! 🫶

Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me—I truly couldn’t do this without your support! 💕

Everything is well, Danielle. I apologize for going MIA.

That’s a super valid concern! The logistics of making that work would definitely add more complexity, which is one of the reasons I’m glad Option 1 won 😆 Keeping things structured and simple makes everything easier for everyone, and I think this way keeps the tiers balanced too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts—it’s always great to see different perspectives! 🥺

Danielle Vedovelli

Yeah, I’ve seen that too! It’s definitely an interesting approach, but it would add a lot of extra work, and honestly, I feel like the way we have things now is already a great balance. And I love that you guys appreciate the previews I already share! Thank you for always being so supportive! 💖

Danielle Vedovelli

I see what you mean! A little “appetizer” could be a nice incentive, but I really think the way things are now is the best fit for me and for you guys as well. And yesss, I love that I can always test new ideas if needed! Also, THANK YOU for the chocolate bars! 🍫🍫🍫I miss seeing you around here more often! Is everything alright, Fue? 🥺

Danielle Vedovelli

Concordo! Acho que ver o set completo sempre traz uma experiência melhor do que só uma amostra. Fico feliz que goste do formato atual! 💖

Danielle Vedovelli

That’s a great perspective! I love that you guys are open to experimenting, but I’m super relieved that Option 1 won because it really is what works best for me. If I ever feel like tweaking things, I know I can always test new ideas in the future! Thanks for your input! 😊

Danielle Vedovelli

That’s a really thoughtful take! 🥺 I definitely see both sides of the argument, but I think keeping things as they are is the best approach for now 🙏 And I truly appreciate that you guys care about what’s easier for me too! 💖 You’re all amazing! 😭

Danielle Vedovelli

I totally agree with that rule! 😂 Option 2 had some interesting points, but in the end, I feel like what we have now is the best balance. And if something works well and feels fair, why mess with it, right? 😆 Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Danielle Vedovelli

We got a winner, apparently! Option 1 is still reigning 😁 I can play with option 2 with future BONUS sets though 🥰

Danielle Vedovelli

Option 2 sounds interesting but i have a feeling it may complicate things for you. One of my top rule is "if it ain't broken, don't fix it".

I think so also, obviously I’m super outside here as I’m only here to cheer and see life posts but just weighing in still On giving everyone a sample of the other photos, on one hand, it could incentivize folks to upgrade, on the other it could devalue the tiers (I doubt though since everyone’s nice) Ultimately the main thing we all care about is whatever is easier for YOU 🥹.

Miles

Personally, I love the way I currently do! 🥰 And I think it’s fair / works well 🤔

Danielle Vedovelli

I definitely would like to see how option 2 works and see if its easier on you and works better for patrons. If it doesn't work you can always go back to what has worked for you! Never a bad idea to try new things.

Eu acho os dois bacana porem acho q ter o conjunto todo mais legal q poucas fotos

The second option is quite an interesting approach, I feel. I would like to see it happen and how it works with everyone and if it'll encourage new friends to join in on supporting your work knowing they'll get a small portion despite. It's like an appetizer, y'know?? 😄. Of course, if it doesn't work well and you as the creator doesn't find that it runs with your flow, you can always return back to how it is. There's no harm in that. Ah, before I forget, here's some chocolate bar emojis for you, Danielle. 🍫 🍫 🍫 🍫

I've seen other cosplayers do the "graduated tiers" and its doable but that does seem like it might be more work. I'd appreciate it though getting some previews of a few photos at lower tiers BUT not a problem if we wanna keep it the current way. Honestly whatever is easiest for you. We get previews occasionally anyway! Thanks for thinking of the community! Hope you can find a solution that works for you.

Although giving people a taste of all the sets at lower levels is an interesting idea, I wonder how they would be distributed and how it would be communicated in a showcase, and if it would be more work for you to separate and then keep together in your archive for people to request (or for you to bring back) a year or two in the future. I assume this would mean that even certain cosplay photos that would have been in LVL 5 would now be unlocked at LVL 100? We'll see what the crowd thinks and if Option 2 wins then it wouldn't hurt to test it out for a month. 🤔
