And diversifying payment methods is just one of the options we offer customers to help them increase their subscriber base. Acquisition is a broad term that could mean a lot of things. For recurring revenue businesses, successful acquisition means bringing on long-term subscribers, thus increasing your subscriber count and recurring revenue. However, the adoption of a new subscription service requires an in-depth evaluation on the customer’s part–how much does it cost? What value will this bring me? Where and how does it fall into my current lifestyle? Analyzing and understanding consumers’ perceived value is key to achieve subscriber and revenue growth and having the right subscription management and recurring billing solution can turn this goal into reality.

“Not having to worry about managing subscription billing because Recurly handles that for us has been huge. It has enabled us to focus on the elements that are core to our business—the customer experience and the box…We’ve been able to experiment like we have because Recurly isn’t in the way (so to speak). It operates in the background enabling us to move more quickly and efficiently.” - Becky Segal, Vice President of Platform Engineering at BARK

Remaining flexible and offering options are important in subscription customer acquisition strategies. Payments as a growth strategy is often neglected but crucial: Providing consumers with a variety of billing models–prepaid, usage-based, fixed, quantity-based, and hybrid models–keeps your offerings differentiated and attractive.
