Something else I would like to see- maybe C$ exclusive boosters for events? Like you can buy 4 event tokens for x amount of C$, one time only. Like an extra "starting bundle"

i like frogwitch's suggestion as well!

100% support this! I haven't bought more than one of each set of Store Pets in years, and that's only if I don't manage to trade for them first. I only bought C$ this month because I finally ran out from my last purchase - which was in 2018. There just isn't any incentive for it any more. And it can't be good for CS financially if I'm in the majority of players (which from the sounds of things I am?).

It's difficult though to know what those things should actually be. More pets and items in the store is the obvious option and I think everyone would love that. Maybe something linked to events would be really good? I tend to be much more active around events and I'd definitely be more likely to buy something then - if there was anything to buy.
-Maybe for token events there could be one extra item or pet trade-in that is only for C$ instead of tokens? So like 2C$ instead of 3 tokens.
-Or a seasonal shop? An extra store only open during holidays (advent, easter etc) that has seasonal items and pets that would only be available to buy during that time. Either the same pets/items for each season every year, or a mixture of old and new so it would be a surprise but always possible for you to eventually be able to buy them again if you stay active - the first year of doing it would all be new stuff either way.
-Just seen frogwitch's suggestion as I'm writing this and would also support the idea of a starter token bundle for C$! I often feel I can't spend enough time token hunting as I like and would be more than happy to pay so that I can actually get everything I want myself!

I know they've said no to rereleasing store pets, but times change and I think it could be something to help out with C$ economy if it was done tactfully. Something like an additional Dec 18th box that contains a single randomised old store pet, but can only be opened by spending C$.

I do think though that maybe something completely new being brought in would be really good and maybe bring a lot of hype that would incentivise more purchases/higher valuation of C$. Some random ideas I had:
-Backgrounds for groups - so when you view your pets it looks like a field behind them or something.
-More dressup scene backgrounds/settings.
-An 'adoption pass' raises your adoption limit by 1 for each regular release pet for that month.
-Font colours and symbols for use in pet and group names.
-Preview designs for upcoming pets and items. (Or strong hints/preview wip of them - Almost like the monthly update but gives visual sneak peaks and maybe a little more specific info)
-Maybe a completely wild idea, but having a rl merch store. As C$ can only be obtained by purchasing it with real money, or trading with someone who has, it could possibly used as well as real money to buy from a merch store if one was ever introduced? Idk how that would impact the financials, but at the very least could be used in part to cover some of the costs - maybe a cap at 20% of the price or it can only be used to cover shipping costs or something along those lines.

And obviously if more features were added to the site then it would open up more opportunities for new things that we could spend C$ on!

Whew that was a lot, turns out I really, really want more stuff to be able to spend my C$ on!
