Then higher in December and will continue to grow until it levels off. We tried everything, mixing recurring, non-recurring, trials, half discounts, etc. etc. etc... never in a billion years would I see the results like above. And I will not add a 1 time option on initial tour to sale... maybe a last chance option... or email offer... but that would be the only place.
You do know that MANY people offer a straight up $1 trial for 2 or 3 days and that is it right? That is their pricing plan, and they bank on the rebills. However, I think that model is flawed in that it generates too many cancellations.
Back to my point though... offering essentially a coupon is not, at all, a bad idea. The programs then need to rebill it correctly, but heh... most likely back to horrible join forms  |
Very true, many sites do the $1 trial thing, no one-time only subscriptions at all. And for the site you're working I'm sure it's best for you. You have a model who's very involved with her site and with her Members so the Goal would be long-term rebills and interactivity. Not all adult sites can offer this.
But regardless, it comes down to numbers (as always) and what I always say holds true: one business model does not work for everyone.
