Spoil your viewers with choice! This way you could always be their favorite streaming service.

Your subscription could be affordable to your viewers but there might be some who are looking out for offers and coupons or any other form of discounts simply because your package is out of their budget. How to acquire them? Simple. Just create a slightly lower-cost plan supported by ads.

You can simply earn the difference (maybe even more) through ads. Moreover, you have a presence on more screens and capture more eyeballs

How to combine ads with SVOD

Here is a simple example of how you can do it

  • Offer legacy content that is also available elsewhere to view or download freely can be made available freely (supported by ads - AVOD)

  • Create multiple subscription bundles (based on language, genre) or one bundle for your entire library

  • Create two pricing models for the created bundle. One slightly higher price but without any ads. Another priced slightly lower - but supported by ads.
