Right now the DAO has no ability to adjust a banner, AMA or sponsored post price to a project's budget or needs.
As it is ,it's basically a take it or leave it deal for projects. They either accept the price or don't. In a marketing/business perspective that doesn't make much sense. There must always be some room for negoatitions, otherwise we will be losing opportunities.
Things such as the following must have weight when negoating a price:
How long is the banner (or other) being rented for.
Is the project well segmented to our community.
Has the project/company rented the banner before?
Are they bringing added value to the community (giveaways, etc..)
As an example:
If a project has rented a banner 5 times before. It's very appealing to our community. Often does giveaways. The DAO must have the ability to negotiate in real time with the project and not lose a potential deal. In other words, we need to create long-term relationships with these projects.
