Segmenting your price increase emails
With tools like ActiveCampaign, you can segment your audience and send different messages to them based on their past experience with your products and services. Two groups you absolutely must segment during a price increase event are:
- Loyal customers — Focus the email, with specifics if you can, on all of the great benefits they’ve seen from your business over the time they’ve been loyal customers. Use that to bridge into the price increase and continue your mission to better serve them.
- Free users — Incentivizing free users to upgrade to a paid plan now, in lieu of a pending price increase, is a great motivator and you will likely see an uptick in recurring revenue as a result.
