A new fan needs warming up, a cheap first step and a reason to trust the chat. A guy who's already paid a lot needs none of that. He's bought plenty. What he wants is to keep enjoying it, without feeling sold to. Run him through the normal playbook and you'll annoy him, undercharge him or both.
This is what changes in the chat once he reaches the top tiers, and the mistake behind each rule.
Selling slows down
Big spenders buy in bursts. A few PPVs close together, then days of normal chat. So she sells to them in sessions. When a session ends, she goes back to being good company and no offer follows him around. The next session comes after a rest, or when he starts it himself.
More offers don't mean more money with this guy. He can afford what he wants. Each pitch he didn't ask for just makes the chat feel more like a shop.
Slower selling doesn't mean she's less there, though. Normal fans sometimes get a pause in the chat. Whales and guys who paid recently don't. We learned that one the hard way: a guy made a big purchase a minute after she'd stepped away, and heard nothing for hours. Now any purchase ends a break on the spot.
Higher tiers, without wild jumps
Prices run by tier, from follower up to whale, and each fan's prices adapt to what he actually buys. For whales we got this wrong in both directions.
First, too high. Offers jumped far above anything he'd paid, he said no, and she cut the price hard. He learned to wait for the cut. That's a guy paying less because of our rules.
Then, too low. A whale who'd been paying big prices got a new script that started at a fraction of that. He opened each step within minutes. It looked like a great sales day, and we'd left money on the table.
So now his offers start close to what he's been paying lately and climb one modest step above his biggest buy. When he sets a new biggest buy, the ceiling moves up with him. Discounts for him are small, and he'll never see a price lower than one he's already paid. Her high-end singles go to him first, and premium videos sit at the top. In our first 8 days one premium sale went through at $159.59.
Custom requests go to a person
When a guy asks for something made just for him, she quotes a price that fits him. The request lands on your custom requests list with what he asked for and what she quoted. A human makes it.
The split makes sense. The AI is good at keeping him warm and naming a fair price at 3 a.m. Only you can decide what gets made. Guys who ask for customs tend to be among your best payers, so don't let that list sit. A guy who asked for something personal and heard nothing for a week won't ask twice.
No repeats, ever
A fan never gets the same picture twice. For a normal fan that's polish. For a whale it's a must, because he goes through your vault faster than anyone. Sell him something he's already paid for and he feels it right away. In our older chats, "seen them before" came straight before "waste of money".
This one took work. We found our records only knew part of what one heavy buyer had already received, because a lot of it went out before our AI existed. So she now reads Fanvue's own list of what's in his chat, every time. Duplicate uploads of the same video count as one. Anything you sent him by hand counts too.
The catch is on your side. A guy who's seen everything leaves you with fewer things to sell him. If your top fans keep buying, keep new sets coming, because they'll reach the end of the vault first.
The chat is about him
When a big spender goes quiet, he doesn't get a stock line. His follow-ups are written from what he told her: the trip, the job, the match. A guy spending this much notices when a message could have gone to anyone.
