If you hadn’t noticed, the world around us is changing. Instead of buying stuff, we’re subscribing to services. And that change effects the relationships that we, as consumers, have with businesses. We’re looking for long-term relationships, based on trust and value.
If you’re still marketing and pitching customers the same old way, then you’re missing this shift.
We need a new marketing mindset – one that expands far beyond the marketing organization.
That’s the subject of the book Subscription Marketing: Strategies for Nurturing Customers in a World of Churn. That book is now in its second edition – and has been translated to Japanese.
If this subject interests you, here are some other things you can check out.
