Boston Globe’s Introductory Subscription Offer for 99c for 8 Weeks

We like this standard introductory offer from The Boston Globe for the simplicity of its design and copy.

We like this standard introductory offer from The Boston Globe for the simplicity of its design and copy. Notice that it avoids special characters in the subject line by using a “c” instead of a ¢ sign.

The images and button copy make it clear that the offer is for comprehensive digital access. And while we would have preferred a button above the fold, The Globe’s testing expert Natalie Bean told the audience at Subscription Site Summit that the button actually performed better below the fold.

One could also make a case for using a button of a contrasting color, but notice how all the green text (save one — “see example”) link to the offer. That’s five CTAs in just one page. Not bad!
