Team:

Product Manager, Engineering, Release Manager, Content Design, UXR, Data analyst, User Acquisition

Strategy

Opportunity

Acquiring customers through web funnels offers multiple positives compared with conventional in-app onboarding.

 

  • Web subscriptions are a lot more profitable to the business as you avoid paying any commission fees to the App Store and Play Store.
  • Launching experiments in web isn’t limited by releasing new app versions meaning you can ship and learn a lot faster.
  • There are less limitations and rules as web subscriptions sits outside of the jurisdiction of the App Store and Play Store.
  • Activation data can be sent back to our acquisition channels improving the algorithms ability to learn and optimize.

Method

The web onboarding team at Flo uses a consistent method of validating ideas. The activation rate for trial starts is the first marker for success. The experiment is then monitored for a period of 30 days to ensure that the paid subscription activation rate sees the same results. Finally our analyst monitors the impact on ARPU.

Experiments

Trial reminder

Insights

After conducting market research, we identified that other web checkout experiences were utilizing a trial reminder mechanic whilst highlighting the trial expectations.

Hypothesis

If customers can enable a trial reminder, then they will feel at ease that they won’t be charged for the full subscription without their awareness. This mechanic will put their mind at ease leading to higher conversation rate on the checkout screen.

Scratch card mechanic

Hypothesis

If customers are presented with engaging mechanic like a scratch card type experience, they may find the deal that’s revealed more interesting and appealing.

Perimenopause score web funnel

Opportunity

There is a feature in the Flo app that asks a series of questions and then presents you with a perimenopause score based on the severity of your symptoms on your well-being.

Hypothesis

If customers are acquired with the idea of a tangible thing like a perimenopause score, then we can use this outcome as a hook to convert them to a trial in the web funnel
