Today, it employs over 1,500 staff across more than a dozen international offices, publishing content both in print and online for its 1.5+ million subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Good was contacted to provide assistance to The Economist\u2019 optimization team to help improve conversions to subscriptions while keeping ad inventory intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-challenge\">The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When The Economist approached The Good, their team already had a deep understanding of their data: funnel abandonment, bounce rates, the percentage of users who convert from subscription trials, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They had identified their key drop-off points, and their challenge was to identify opportunities (both quick wins and bigger areas for testing) that would help optimize the efficiency of their paywall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many free trial users eventually convert to purchase, so their end goal was to improve subscription rates as well as free trial signups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To encourage more sign-ups, their team wanted to explore implementing a hard paywall (showing a \u201csignup to read\u201d on the first article a user viewed) as opposed to their pre-existing soft paywall (allowing users to view around three articles before requiring them to log in or sign up to continue reading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge was being able to achieve all these subscription and trial signup goals without losing advertiser content. Fewer page views would mean fewer ads seen by users, so while the hard paywall may improve their subscriber count, it could potentially reduce ad revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe engaged The Good to help us tackle a difficult challenge: How do we increase subscription rates and registration sign-ups without sacrificing advertising dollars? <br><br>Through their work, we were able to increase conversions to paid subscriptions by 5% without compromising our ad revenue, which was a significant return on investment and a huge win for our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>David Humber, Marketing Director, The Economist<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-process\">The Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to better understand the challenge, our team at The Good conducted a Digital Experience Optimization Audit\u2122. While The Economist was already armed with a robust understanding of their readers, our team always conducts a fresh analysis to fill in holes, get external perspectives, and dig even deeper into the user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our strategists reported on a variety of key metrics from Google Analytics, conducted usability testing, and analyzed heat maps of key pages. This process included a full 360-degree qualitative and quantitative conversion analysis, as well as a complete analysis of website deficiencies, opportunities, and conversion barriers. Additionally, we conducted remote, unmonitored session recordings to uncover the pain points that users were experiencing on the website.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results from this audit allowed us to build out a roadmap of next steps so that we could address specific problems of the client\u2019s website. This gives us the foundation for the custom <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/digital-experience-optimization-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital Experience Optimization Program\u2122<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-solution\">The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we delivered a series of opportunities and improvements to The Economist to protect their privacy, we\u2019ve limited our case study to an overview of one test in particular. This paywall test stood out to The Economist team as an example of how The Good\u2019s outside, expert perspective offered the additional resourcing needed to make important site decisions and changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After watching several hundred session recordings of real users on The Economist site, our team found that the vertical height of the paywall discouraged users from scrolling and prevented them from seeing the multitude of benefits that a subscription could offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team ran comprehensive testing that resulted in a vertically shortened paywall design, which delivered the value propositions earlier in the user experience and eliminated perceived roadblocks to signing up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the length of the paywall and the large volume of text, many visitors had difficulty seeing the benefits The Economist was hoping to communicate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas in the control, the messaging \u201cYou\u2019ve reached your article limit\u201d created a problem for users to solve or abandon, the variant led with \u201cRegister to read\u201d and \u201cSubscribe for unlimited access\u201d which explicitly told users what actions to take in order to proceed to the content behind the paywall. The shortened vertical height and succinct messaging proved better at getting users to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-results\">The Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of this experiment, The Economist saw an increase in sign-ups as well as a 5% increase in conversions to subscription. Additionally, they saw a reduction in their site-wide bounce rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the Digital Experience Optimization Program\u2122, The Economist has incorporated our data-driven insights to provide a better user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhen we came to The Good, we already had a strong grasp of our analytics \u2013 funnel abandonment, bounce rates, trial-to-paid conversion, and more. <br><br>What we needed was a fresh perspective on how we could reduce our drop-off rate and improve performance at key points in the customer journey. On that front, The Good delivered outstanding results.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>David Humber, Marketing Director, The Economist<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-they-got-there\">How They Got There<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The results we unlocked for The Economist were the direct result of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/digital-experience-optimization-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital Experience Optimization Program\u2122<\/a>.
