Subscriptions: Always On
In this international Keynote presentation we welcome Phil Pomford, General Manager, Global Enterprise eCommerce – Asia Pacific at WorldPay, From video games to B2B technology, TV to yoga lessons, consumers are committing to monthly payments in almost every sector. But is that because subscriptions are inherently attractive to consumers, or are they just a means to an end? And how does the structure of subscription-based products affect businesses and their day-to-day operations? As one of the world’s foremost payment experts, we’ve explored users’ relationships with subscriptions, delved deeper into the growth of this model, and analysed how brands can capitalize.
