In an effort to increase conversions for the Judge.me paid plan on the B2B app, we introduced a system of trial offers delivered via modals to targeted users. By designing specific flows based on identified user personas, we effectively increased trial adoption and engagement with the paid features, leading to measurable improvements in overall conversion rates.
01
Improve percentage of upgrades to the paid plan and lower the gap between user engagement and paid feature adoption.
02
Implemented targeted trial offers through modals, specifically designed for different user personas. These modals surfaced at key moments in the user’s workflow, highlighting relevant paid features. This personalised approach not only increased feature awareness but also drove a significant boost in upgrade rates, all without requiring additional dev work.
03
To optimise the effectiveness of our trial offers, we segmented users into key personas: dropshippers, low revenue merchants, high revenue merchants, low reviews collected, and those who migrated from other review apps. Each persona had unique needs and pain points.

04
Improve product education for different segments of users and teach the value of the paid plan by letting users to experience its value firsthand and encouraging them to upgrade.
05
Minding the constraints and complexity of Appcues, I've created a standard operating procedure (SOP's) document for the team, so anybody that needs to create a flow knows how to do it and how to bookeep it.
06
Above is an example showcasing all the SOP's integrated into context. You can notice various Trial flows, each carefully named to facilitate seamless navigation across different types of flows. Additionally, related tags have been included to simplify filtering for quick access and efficient workflow management.
