Reasons why Netflix succeed !
Think Recurring Income
As long as a business is giving the customer something they want, subscription-based buyers will stay on board.
The fruits of this business model were shown recently when Netflix was able to raise their prices by just a $1 a month, but have an outsized impact on their profits.
Learn From Others
Reed Hastings learned from AOL, who was slow to adapt to the development of broadband – and suffered as a result.
Think Strategic Partnerships
Strategic partnerships can be a win-win for both sides
For Netflix, a partnership with Apple is one such example.
Netflix allowed the owners of the Apple TV set-top box to sign up for Netflix directly.
Add Value For The Customer
One of the reasons that Netflix has proven to be so popular is, well, they are so good at giving the customer exactly what they want!
Hastings has noted that the real secret to Netflix’s success is that it adapts to its user.
