How to increase trial conversion rates without adding new features

Marcus, an independent consultant with a background in gaming and consumer tech, assists subscription apps in leveraging Meta as their primary growth channel. His expertise lies in optimizing Meta Ads, Web2App, paywalls, and user onboarding, with a focus on improving trial start rates and trial-to-paid conversions. The introduction of Apple's App Tracking Transparency has complicated the tracking of these metrics, prompting developers to reconsider the influence of user acquisition on performance. Marcus argues that the key to enhancing trial conversion is not just the feature set, but also the marketing strategy, including the choice of marketing channels, creative content, audience targeting, and onboarding processes. He emphasizes the importance of understanding audience demographics to align marketing efforts and suggests experimenting with paywall design and pricing to boost trial conversions. Collecting user data through surveys provides insights to refine marketing strategies, while small changes in user acquisition and onboarding can have significant impacts on business performance.
