Pricing strategies for retention-focused subscription businesses

‍Unlock winning OTT subscription pricing strategies for maximum success‍

‍The playing field for the media and entertainment industry has undergone a sharp change. OTT streaming services have taken center stage, beating out traditional television. ‍

With that, subscription based streaming services have consolidated their position as one of the highest revenue contributors for media and entertainment broadcasters. Latest research from Digital TV estimates that the SVOD market will reach 1.76 billion by 2028.

‍

Subscription based pricing models are a different ballgame‍

As a broadcaster providing VOD services, it’s key to realize that subscription pricing models are fundamentally different from selling on a pay as you go model. That’s because this recurring revenue business model shifts the value from a transactional event to a lasting relationship.

In subscriptions, as long as the pricing strategy is right and there’s proper service and content, it’s possible to engage and retain existing customers for years. That’s what smart broadcasters focus on to optimize their customer lifetime value.
