Subscription Ecommerce Promotions That Drive Sign-Ups

Give more customers a rewarding reason to subscribe.

A subscription asks customers to make a longer-term commitment. BeeLiked adds an immediate incentive: complete a qualifying subscription purchase and unlock your game and reward.

For subscription businesses and consumer brands that sell directly to customers.

Customer compares subscription options before choosing a qualifying plan

The challenge

A subscription may be more valuable to the business, but it asks more from the customer.

They are not simply choosing a product. They are agreeing to an ongoing relationship, future payments and repeat deliveries.

You may already rely on a lower introductory price to overcome that hesitation. The offer may increase sign-ups, but it can also reduce early margin and attract customers whose interest disappears when the discount ends.

The solution

Reward the subscription purchase you want customers to choose.

You define the qualifying purchase within the capabilities of your ecommerce platform.

That could be a selected subscription product, plan, bundle or other completed transaction the ecommerce system can identify.

The customer chooses the qualifying option and pays as normal. Once the purchase is complete, your game or interactive reward experience becomes available.

Subscription-ready consumer products displayed with recurring-order symbols

A useful route for DTC consumer brands

Subscriptions are not limited to subscription-only businesses.

Food, drink, beauty, wellness, pet care, household and other consumer brands may sell individual products alongside replenishment plans or recurring bundles.

BeeLiked can help you make the subscription option more visible and give customers an additional reason to choose it.

The campaign can be promoted across your own marketing:

Subscribe to the qualifying product or plan and unlock your reward experience after purchase.

This creates a clear action that email, social, paid advertising and onsite messaging can support.

Subscriber opens a recurring delivery as part of an ongoing customer relationship

The relationship can continue after sign-up

The first reward can recognize the subscription purchase. Further experiences can support the ongoing relationship.

With your own BeeLiked account can build an audience of subscribers to its RunnyHoney channel, or operate outside RunnyHoney through its own website, app and customer communications.

It can then create experiences for subscribers that may help:

  • Reinforce the value of remaining subscribed
  • Introduce new products or subscriber benefits
  • Reward milestones or continued participation
  • Give subscribers access to exclusive offers or giveaways
  • Create a positive intervention before a likely downgrade or cancellation
  • Make the subscriber relationship feel recognized

These experiences can support retention activity, but they do not replace the subscription management and customer data held in your ecommerce or subscription platform.

How it works

You choose the completed subscription transaction you want to reward, based on the purchase information your ecommerce platform can provide.

You can deliver your experiences through:

The RunnyHoney Rewards audience

Reach relevant shoppers participating in RunnyHoney’s shared rewards network.

Your own RunnyHoney channel

Build an audience of customers and subscribers within a dedicated branded channel, then create further experiences for them over time.

Your existing channels

Integrate experiences into your website or app, or promote them through its own email, social and paid media activity.

With your own BeeLiked promotion, you can choose the game format, instant wins, sweepstakes, prizes, offers or virtual currency.

The customer simply sees a relevant branded experience. The delivery and integration model sits behind it.

How results are measured

You measure commercial performance through your ecommerce or subscription platform.

Useful measures may include:

Qualifying subscription purchases

Subscription conversion rate

Revenue from new subscriptions

Subscription plan or product mix

Renewal and retention rates

Downgrades and cancellations

Use of subscriber-only offers

Performance of rewarded subscribers against an appropriate benchmark or control group

BeeLiked records participation in the reward experiences. Your own systems show what happened to the subscription.

Comparison between a price discount and a protected post-purchase reward

Why this is different from an introductory discount

A discount changes the price.

A BeeLiked experience changes how the decision feels.

It gives the customer something engaging and rewarding after they complete the qualifying subscription purchase, without requiring you to reduce the price for every subscriber.

You may still choose to use discounts where they make commercial sense. BeeLiked gives you another lever, and a way to reserve incentives for the behaviors you value.
