Many magazine publishers face the challenge of retaining their subscribers in the long term while at the same time reliably processing recurring revenues. Outdated manual processes, inflexible billing systems and a lack of automation lead to payment defaults, high churn and inefficient subscriber lifecycle management.
Loss of subscribers and payment defaults
Manual handling of subscriptions causes billing errors and delays dunning processes. Inflexible systems make flexible subscription models such as trial subscriptions, upgrades or breaks more difficult. The result: high churn rates, lost revenue and dissatisfied subscribers.
Automation and flexible billing
Professional solutions rely on recurring billing and automated invoicing to minimize payment defaults. Dunning processes are integrated and ensure efficient receivables management. Flexible subscription models are easy to implement and increase subscriber loyalty.
Strengthening integration and self-service
Seamless subscriber lifecycle management combines print and digital subscriptions from a single platform. Self-service portals give subscribers control over their contracts and payments. Real-time analytics provide important insights for targeted marketing and retention measures.
