Technology Director, The Irish Times
The Irish Times, a widely-read Irish newspaper with a daily reach of 534,000 readers in print and online, aimed to capitalize on its digital audience and boost revenues.
Their goals included attracting new subscribers, implementing a customer-centric system, managing churn effectively through retention technology and monetizing digital readers alongside print subscribers.
Powered by eSuite, The Irish Times adopted a metered paywall model, granting non-subscribers limited access to articles while providing subscribers with access to print, mobile, and digital content.
This approach established a centralized platform for customer data management, pricing optimization and a seamless user experience. Key features included centralized customer information storage, attracting new subscribers through voucher codes, enhancing subscriber retention via eSuite’s churn-reducing capabilities and enabling monetization across both print and digital platforms within a unified system.
