What value and bundles can publishers offer to hit that sweet spot? Speakers share the factors that go into pricing considerations, marketing tactics and attractive add-ons to ensure subscribers feel they are getting value for their money.

Bisnis Indonesia’s digital subscriptions bet

With a cover price of 80 US cents and at 32 pages, the Bisnis Indonesia Daily broadsheet is Indonesia’s most expensive daily paper and the thickest. It started charging the same cover price for its e-paper three years ago and releases it at midnight as a perk to its e-paper subscribers. President Director Lulu Terianto shares how this 33-year-old publication has become a market leader which does not believe in discounted pricing and the business strategies behind its upcoming mobile phone app.
