Uncovering the secret of subscription service owners
I miss the days when my grandfather would eat breakfast behind a freshly delivered newspaper. I used to look forward to the end of his meal so I could read the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip and check my daily horoscope.
The subscription business model started with newspapers and milk in the 1800s, but today it is used by many companies in a wide range of industries. If you signed up for Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, or Kindle Unlimited, you’ve got a subscription.
Did you know that companies love subscription accounts because they provide a steady stream of income and they can predict their earnings?
Plus, having customers subscribe to their services helps build brand loyalty, and the companies can even offer more personalized experiences.
Subscriptions can be super helpful for customers too! For example, they offer:
- Savings: Subscription services can offer discounts or special deals to customers who commit to long-term usage.
- Predictability: With a subscription, customers know exactly how much they will be spending and when making budgeting and financial planning easier.
- Exclusive access: Some subscription services offer exclusive access to content, products, or experiences that are not available to non-subscribers.
- Personalized service: Some subscription services have tailored recommendations based on customer preferences.
- Continuous Improvement: Subscription-based services are incentivized to keep improving their services and providing new features to keep their customer engagement and satisfaction high.
- Reducing buying friction: Customers won’t have to go through the process of purchasing the product or service every time they need it.
- Convenience: Subscription-based services are automatically charged to a credit card and/or automatically renew, so customers don’t have to worry about remembering to purchase.
Honestly, I thought that this was an exhaustive list of the benefits. But there is ONE secret that subscription business owners don’t want you to know.
The top-secret benefit
Have you ever ordered free-flowing iced tea from a restaurant? You’ve probably offered to share it with a friend to save money, right? You just pulled off the “subscription hack secret.” Congrats!
Shareability
Having a subscription comes with a secret advantage: sharing an account. Companies don’t like it because it means they make less money. You’ve heard how Netflix is hurting because people are sharing their passwords with friends, right?
Let’s go back to the unlimited drinks. There’s one rule for you and your friend to follow to get it. You have to try it first to make sure it’s good. If it doesn’t taste good, there’s no point in getting it and feeling embarrassed.
Only people who stay loyal to a subscription model will benefit the most from it being shared.
