What is Plimus?

The Plimus service

Vendors based in Israel (10% of Biz)

Sell (and Promote) Services, not ProductsWhy subscriptions are so great?

For VendorsFor VendorsFor ShoppersFor Shoppers

• Comfortable (No need to re-order each time)

• Risk is spread (No big one-time charge)

• Pay if still useful

• Life time value growth• Predict Future Income•“Small Ambassadors”

…But Subscriptions have a Dark Side too

• Increased refunds and chargebacks

• Increased customer support calls

• Negative social media messages

Monthly cycles: average of 80%• 4 - 6 months long (B2B services last longer)

The Typical Subscription Auto Renewal Rates:

Annual cycles: average of 70%• 3 - 4 years long, due to expiring credit cards and accounts

•Non Auto Cycles: 40%

B2C Platforms Converts Even Less…

Selecting the right “free” tactic

Free Trial OnlyFreemium • B2B service

• Big Marketing budget

• “Cost” of free users is high (Support, Bandwidth…) • Low, or no “virality”

(Kampyle, BI Systems)

• Light-weight B2C service • Marketing budget is low • Cost of free users is low.

• Critical mass is needed

• Higher “virality”

(Wix, Skype, Dropbox, Jdate)

• When collecting credit card before trial – 30% to 50% will eventually pay.

• Without card collection, only 5%-10% will convert (but amount of testers will rise…)

Bottom Line: collecting CC’s is best when value of service is clearly strong from day 1

Free Trials? What to expect…

• Don’t prevent access to features during trial

Free Trials Best Practices

• “Seduce” users to invest in configuration User-labor creates bonding and value

• Set short trials before user enthusiasm is OVER. Sometime even days…

Countdown is a powerful tool:Do use, but with caution…

D: Dividing the plans

DropBox: The clean way- keep it simple

“Less is more” – 3 to 4 plans will do

CrazyEgg: Give measurable differentiators and not by features only

7 :Dividing the plans

D: Dividing the plans

Bad Practice …dividing by features only

E: Pricing…

• Set price to the value & “depth” of product

• Consider competitors pricing, and differentiate yourself! • Push and Give Big Bonus for long-term plans (with free months/discount), but NOT lifetime.

Conclusion: Encouraging, Focusing, Reducing Concerns, with Measurable Differentiators
