Introduction

summary (tl;dr)

Through research, we identified sub-optimal conversion rates on the Snapchat premium paywall and uncovered several contributing factors. My task was to redesign the paywall to convert more users into paid subscribers. Through a transparent design process and cross-team collaboration, we achieved significant results: 11 million subscribers as of Q2 2024, with an 18% conversion rate through the paywall (up from <10% before the redesign). Satisfying both the users' and the company's goals.

Overview

As Snapchat+ emerged as a premium offering, For a quarter, I focused on driving user acquisition and engagement. By crafting compelling paywall experiences and intuitive feature management, I helped users understand the value proposition and maximise their subscription benefits. Beyond core functionalities, I also explored innovative features like shared Bitmoji profiles and custom typing Bitmoji, enhancing the overall Snapchat+ experience.
