DRIVING SUCCESS IN
THE SUBSCRIPTION ECONOMY

THE WORLD HAS SHIFTED TO
THE SUBSCRIPTION ECONOMY.
6.8 billion
potential subscribers on
mobile, social and web.
80%
of customers demand new
consumption models.
–The Economist, 2014

CUSTOMERS HAVE CHANGED
AND HAVE NEW EXPECTATIONS.
70 percent of customers are through the buying cycle before
they contact you. Customers are connected and in control –
already informed on products, pricing, competitors and reviews.
Subscribers expect services to be personalized, real-time and
memorable.

BUSINESSES MUST CHANGE WITH THEM.
“There is a fundamental mismatch between how organizations
market and sell, and the way people actually shop and buy.
Subscription-based models help businesses grow, but also hold
companies accountable for long-term value to their customers.”
Jim O’Neill, CIO of HubSpot
