Price hike for Aussies, tested by Netflix |
Posted: May 17, 2017 |
The well-liked streaming service on Monday made a confirmation that it currently tested higher subscription rates for new customers in Australia. The company- which has nearly 100 million worldwide subscription holders and increased to Australia in 2015- has reportedly tested raising prices for new subscribers by as much as three Australia dollars. Test of Netflix resulted in some Australian customers seeing price growth for the streaming service’s Basic plan (going from AU$8.99 to AU$9.99 monthly), while Netflix’s Normal plan expanded AU$2 to AY$13.99 and the Premium plan expanded AU$3 to AU$17.99 per month, according to the Australian. Netflix made the confirmation the tests but highlighted that it has not yet formally announced any lasting price increases. The company said in a statement, "In this case, we are testing slightly different price points to better understand how consumers value Netflix. Not everyone will see this test and we may not ever offer it generally." "We continuously test new things at Netflix and these tests typically vary in length of time," also added, While previous reports by The Australian newspaper recommended that this streaming service is testing price increases that would only be applied on weekends (with prices returning to standard during weekdays), the company refused that interpretation of its current tests. In an email to Fortune, a Netflix spokesperson noted that "these tests vary in length, they are not weekend only." This streaming service could be considering possible price increase in the land of Australia in response to that nation’s current decision to extend the federal government’s ten percent and services tax to cover ‘intangible supplies’ counting digital content and streaming services such as Netflix. Nicknamed the ‘Netflix Tax,’ the comprehensive tax will begin affecting companies such as Netflix when it goes into effect on 1st of July. Netflix has seen some reaction in current years due to earlier prices hikes in the United States and abroad. Last year, despite cautioning customers well in advance of looming price increases, Netflix still saw quite a few customers cancel their subscriptions over higher monthly prices/rates. Still, those seasonal bumps have not stopped Netflix’s March toward 100 million global subscription holders, and the streaming company requires to steadily raise its rates over time if it wishes to cover the ever-increasing coasts linked with increasing its library of content and increasing its worldwide presence. This year alone, Netflix plans to spend $6 billion to make above 1,000 hours of original content.
