The popular entertainment company is returning to an old strategy to gain more subscribers. After pulling free access options a few years ago, the brand is opening its doors again. This move comes as a bit of a surprise since the company recently focused on raising prices and stopping password sharing. Now, Netflix is trying a softer approach to get more eyes on its massive catalog of content and grow its global audience.
The platform offers new trials lasting up to thirty days
People signing up for the service might see an option to watch without paying right away. The trial length depends on the specific user account, ranging from seven to thirty days. The system does not seem to base this on where a person lives. However, users in the United States and the United Kingdom are currently excluded from this offer.
If you clear your browser cookies or use an incognito window, you might have a better chance of seeing the full thirty day option. When a new user signs up, the system asks them to pick a plan. This means you can choose the most expensive premium tier with high quality video.
You just need to remember that the account will automatically switch to a paid subscription when the trial ends. The company likely hopes this temporary free access will convince people to stick around and keep paying for streaming video content. It is a simple way for the brand to show off its latest shows and movies to anyone who is still on the fence about joining.
