About the freemium model The freemium model is a business model which combines two pricing strategies: free and paid-for. The idea behind the concept is that, by attracting a large number of users with the concept of a free product, a company can build up a large base of loyal customers. These customers, having already tested the product in its free form, will therefore naturally be more inclined to buy the full version, and the company will gain customers who they may not have had they only offered a paid-for product. While it cannot be used for just any service, it shines in certain markets. In this book, you will discover how the freemium model can help you, learn the most effective way to attract buyers, and use your results to widen your customer base. A clear explanation of the benefits and potential drawbacks of the method, a discussion of a practical case study, and an introduction to related models will give you the tools you need to tailor your approach to your situation.
