The Challenge
Marq was keen on understanding which features free users found most compelling.
-
The primary questions included: Which features prompt a free user to transition into a paid trial?

How often does a user use a specific feature before opting for a trial?
With a solid understanding of these behaviors, Marq would be better positioned to tailor its onboarding and user experience to boost conversions.
The Solution
To address the challenge of increasing free user conversion to trial accounts, the solution proposed was to closely monitor user engagement with various platform features and compare their interaction levels to a baseline.
