January 26, 2023
Considering how capitalism and the market works, it is logical that as some technologies, services, or goods begin to be more used by the masses, they also begin to have more recognition. Consequently, more people, entrepreneurs or visionaries decide to take advantage and become competitors.
With the increasing competition in the market, every platform needs and have a unique factor to rise above all. This unique factor plays an essential role in engaging the audience on the platform. For example, Disney+ has Marvel’s exclusive content, Prime Video has affordable subscription plans, and Netflix has an excellent interface.

Now, if we look the free trial of Paramount+, only offers a 7-day, while Hulu gives out 30-day free streaming access to inexperienced users. And from an entrepreneurial/ marketing point of view, the free trials are important since I consider that they can be a highly effective branding tool and especially attractive in online environments such as online stores or Ecommerce.
On the other hand, from a customer point of view, the free trials are essential for analyzing in this case the platform’s interface before investing. So, we can say it is a good sign that Hulu is trying to gain the audience’s trust by availing more time.
