[Country][Subscription] Add Premium Family for South Africa

[markusflint]

Welcome to South Africa, Spotify 🙂 

Your amazing family plan, would be a great + welcome addition here. Being able to easily, and cheaply, sign up my family under 1 account would make billing a breeze.

And shame, my technologically challenged mom and dad (who type in 'google', into their Chrome URL bar so they can search for google, and then google something) wouldn't know where to start in setting up billing and all that... Being able to manage this for them via my account, would be amazing.

Thanks kindly - for your attention to the above, and for coming to SA.

Hey folks,

We wanted to post an update as this idea has reached over 870 votes from our users.

We’re always working on improving the Spotify experience, but we’re afraid we don’t have any further information to share at the moment. We typically don't announce information about subscriptions in advance. The best place to keep an eye out is on the What’s New section of our blog.

Thanks!

So there are currently no plans for a Family Plan for South Africa?
I don't get it... What's so hard about that... I'm literally on the verge
of going over to Google Music... They have a family plan here in South
Africa... Why can't you?
I love Spotify but I have two teenagers in the house and one account is not
cutting it...
Please guys...

So you're basically saying "Hey, we have this great thing over here but we
have no plan to give it to you. Thanks!"

wth is the logic here??

Well done Tom, that was easily the longest indirect "go screw yourself" I've seen in a long while.

Thanks a million!

Sadly Google is getting my money every month.

I would far rather use Spotify. But no family plan is a deal breaker for me and I am sure many others.

All I can say is WOW!

You have heard of data driven organisations right? Organisations that make decisions based on data they are collecting so that they can offer a better customer experience?

So you are basing your decision not to offer a subscription to a client base in South Africa, that will clearly nett you more profits and allow you to compete we other subscription offers in the region like google, on a community post with 870 votes.

If that is how Spotify make data driven decisions within their company, I am really worried for you. You are basing a decision on 870 votes from people bothered to come here to raise this with you, against the thousands out there that have not bothered to access this post.

Thank you and have a good day, I will stick with your competition.

Why not make this a priority Spotify? 
Do some market research in south Africa and see the diversity of our culture and music.
A family package will go a very long way in pushing Spotify in South Africa and in fact Africa.

Yet another watered-down version of a service made available to us South Africans.  Guess companies like Spotify, Netflix and other similar services all work of the same rule-book when it comes to South Africa.

Guess Spotify won't be getting my money either, if they had this I would've strongly considered moving over from Deezer Family plan. Perhaps I'll check back in another years time.
