Digital Subscriptions in a Regional Environment
2020 Finalist
Overview of this campaign
BUSINESS MODEL BASED ON AUDIENCE DATA
During 2019, two major objectives were worked on, based on advanced analytics models: accelerate the conversion of new subscribers and retention of existing ones.
For capturing new subscribers, a predictive model was developed, which allowed to give a conversion probability rate to each registered although not subscribed user. With a range of 10 to 100%, a conversion probability was associated by user ID, integrating this information to its own tools, from which customized messages were offered to meet the goal.
Regarding retention, a case of descriptive advanced analytics (clustering) was implemented, from which 15% of site users were identified as loyal core. From then on, 5 groups were identified according to their degree of link to the environment: occasional, interested, friends, lovers and fans. A descriptive x-ray of each one was performed, to interact with direct marketing, commercial and editorial initiatives.
FIDELIZATION AND RETENTION
