Subscriptions in the age of ARPU

The Rebooting recently wrapped up its second research project in collaboration with BlueConic. Patrick Crane, vp of sales at BlueConic, joined me on The Rebooting Show to discuss the state of subscriptions at publishers and the maturation of the market.

• Why ad avoidance is really more bad UX avoidance
• The wisdom of making subscription products for specific slices of your audience
