β€‹β€‹πŸŽ΅ Music Streaming Yet to Prove Premium Worth

For every #music streamer who pays, there are 3.6 who don’t, preferring a free trial or ad-supported service. Streaming may be more popular than ever, but there’s a lag in converting these listeners to paying listeners. As well as freemium tiers, account sharing has a role in this.

Diving into the users for each service, paid-for services like #AppleMusic and #Tidal see the highest levels of sharing, allowing friends and family to access them without paying for an account.

β€‹β€‹πŸ“Ί Netflix's International Expansion Picks up Steam

#Netflix released its prediction-beating Q1 figures last week and this chart is looking at one interesting aspect of the announcement - the growing profitability of the international streaming side of the business.

Moving from 8.7% in Q4 2017, in Q1 2018 the margin leaped up to 15.3%. As the chart also shows, this appears to be due to revenues significantly outgrowing the cost of revenues (70% to 49%). Marketing is still a big part of Netflix's international expansion, but these costs also grew more slowly than revenue, at 60.8% compared to Q1 2017.

β€‹β€‹πŸ€” Do you know what most increases the likelihood of internet users' online purchases?
FREE DELIVERY!

The impact of price consideration globally is immediately evident, with free delivery (60%) sitting over 10 percentage points ahead of all other options tracked, and at twice the figure for next-day delivery. Other rewarding features are also significant to note, whether in the form of coupons or discounts, or the chance to receive loyalty points following purchase.
