Turning customer insight into €10M+ growth.

Testing whether replacing upfront payments with monthly billing and lower discounts could remove purchase barriers and increase uptake of committed plans.

Challenge

Low uptake of committed plans.

Despite strong discounts, the requirement to pay upfront for 6 or 12 month committed plans created a significant purchase barrier, limiting uptake.

Role

From insight to rollout.

I combined behavioural and commercial data to identify the opportunity, presented the evidence to leadership to secure development priority, then built and delivered a roadmap to refine the proposition, UX, UI and pricing through to rollout.

Approach

Iterate, validate, scale.

  • Gathered customer and commercial evidence to size the opportunity
  • Partnered with Product to translate requirements into a testable experience
  • Built a phased experimentation roadmap covering the proposition, UX, UI and pricing
  • Designed experiments, established reporting and analysed performance at each stage
  • Presented evidence-led recommendations to leadership and shaped the rollout strategy

Outcome

A validated model for scalable growth.

The programme transformed an underperforming element of the proposition into a commercially validated model for committed plans. By making longer commitments more accessible, it helped lock in a more stable customer base and reduce churn immediately after purchase, while delivering a +12% increase in conversion rate.
