Our key takeaways

  1. Understand what you’re promising customers.
  2. Test, test, test.
  3. Words matter: personalized, customized, tailored…
  4. Let your end goal be your guide, not just churn.
  5. Don’t try to be something you’re not.
  6. Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two.
  7. Customer surveys don’t always equal subscriber sales.

Cheers!
