Plus Amazon Invests In AI

One of the biggest benefits of paying for a streaming service used to be that you wouldn’t see any ads.
Over the last year, that has rapidly changed with Netflix, Disney+ and HBO all offering ad-supported options.
On Friday, Amazon announced that they’ll join the crowd and start featuring ads on their standard Prime Video offering.
The reason? Costs are going up and Amazon isn’t as eager to lose money as they were in the past. If you want an ad-free experience, it’ll cost an extra $3 per month.

Daily Hack - 5 Ways To Reward Customer Loyalty
We talk about this all the time at Lurn Daily, but it’s worth repeating.
It's MUCH easier to get existing customers to buy from you again than to find new customers.
That’s just a fact of marketing. It’s also why it’s so critical to keep your customers happy. The more you help them reach their goals and provide stellar customer service, the more willing they are to buy.
But there’s another way to get repeat business that often goes overlooked.
Rewarding Customer Loyalty
Doing this gives your customers every reason to stick around and keep doing business with you.
There are a bunch of ways to reward customer loyalty, but 5 of our favorites are…
Gradually lowering their renewal fees on subscriptions
Granting them early access to fresh products
Giving them free or discounted upgrades for products they’ve already bought
Featuring them on your social media
Giving them more access to you and your team
None of these are that expensive for you, but they can make your long-time customers feel special and want to keep sticking around.
When you reward your customers' loyalty, you're not just locking in more recurring revenue – you're also turning them into raving fans who'll actively help you reel in new customers.
