I would use the same formula for your traffic
Exactly. If they come into a store with the anticipation of paying, no sense in offering them a free join right off the bat. In fact, it might confuse them, imagine having a customer come in with their visa ready and then telling them you can have this free for 3 days. They'll start to wonder what's the catch. They want to pay for access, so I have a better chance to make a higher margin. As the chances diminish of a sale being made, I start reducing the expectations by offering some freebies and alternate billing methods.

Slowly working down the scale...
