Bundle Every Title Into One Price to Collapse First-Year Churn

Impact Score

7/10

Difficulty

Time Investment

3-6 months build, quarterly review

Description

Sell one subscription that unlocks every title you own instead of selling each one separately. Schibsted found that only 13% of subscribers survived their first year and exactly 13% held more than one product, so a second habit is what makes someone stay. Amedia's +Alt bundle reached 16% of all Norwegian subscribers and helped push digital-only to 59% of their subscription income.
