Added a free coupon feature to subscription magazines! Use it for limited-time sales or trial reading.
Subscription magazines can now have "coupons" issued by creators, allowing readers to read them for free for a certain period.
In this article, we will guide you through recommended ways to use them and how to issue coupons. Please make use of this to meet new readers.
*Target devices are limited to browsers only. iOS and Android apps are not supported.
Examples of coupon usage
1. Limited-time "Special Offer Now" sale
You can issue coupons for your subscription magazine for a limited time to coincide with seasonal events, anniversaries, the start of the fiscal year, or real-world events, allowing new readers to try out your content.
2. Exclusive coupons for purchasers of paid articles
If you include a subscription magazine coupon code in the paid area of an article, you can distribute the coupon as a benefit for purchasing the article. Please check "Writing paid articles (setting the paywall)" for instructions on how to write paid articles.
3. Exclusive coupons for users who support you on other services
You can distribute coupons exclusively to those who support you on other services, such as other communities, memberships, or crowdfunding. This can help promote your activities on note and may serve as an opportunity for them to support you further.
4. Use in conjunction with real-world events or books
You can print coupon codes on flyers distributed at real-world events or included in books. You can also introduce your subscription magazine to attendees by projecting the coupon code on a slide during events.
5. Issue coupons when your articles or activities become a hot topic
It is also recommended to issue coupons when your articles or activities become a hot topic. People who have become interested may subscribe to your magazine as a trial and end up becoming regular readers.
How to issue coupons
Select "Coupons" displayed on the left side of the subscription magazine settings screen and click "Issue Coupon." For detailed operating instructions, please see "Issuing and using coupons for subscription magazines".
