June Changes

During the past month, there’s been a lot of changes that we would like to announce to you.

Removing the Free Plan

It was a hard decision, but we believe it’s the right one. We strive to make Convertful the most efficient and convenient software in the market with a top-notch service. To achieve this we need to focus on our Premium Clients’ wishes and requests.

What will be with the current Free Plan users?

All current Free Plan users will be switched to 2-weeks Trial Plan and will be notified about this via email. If you’re a current Free Plan user, you can choose one of the two options:

1. If gaining new subscribers is an essential part of your business or blog. We prepared a special Super Early Bird Plan for you. It means that until the mid of July you’ll be able to get this plan for $15/yr. Extension price for the next year will be the same $15. It’s a great opportunity. You get features for which our direct competitors would charge you 10x times more. Along with that, totally unique features which are going to be released soon. Both at an extremely low price.
2. If gaining new subscribers is not important for your startup or blog right now. And it’s not reasonable to pay even $1.25/mo for it. We can provide you with the help to migrate to some 3-rd party solution and configure it properly. Please create a private support ticket with such request before your trial ends. We’ll discuss the details there and do the rest.

Do you plan to restore Free Plan later?

In general, it’s possible that we will restore Free Plan later. Though we don’t expect this to happen in the nearest future. But you can join our newsletter so you could learn about this when it happens.

Is there a way to somehow extend the current Free Plan?

No, but there’s a better option. We have a special Feedback Guru program. You can get 3 months of Premium subscription in exchange for a high-quality feedback. Read the details at the end of this post.

Rebranding to be Convertful

Previously known as Optin.Guru, we’re changing our company name to Convertful. Hope you like this new name as much as we do!

One way or another, please consider updating your site connection:

• If you’re using Optin.Guru WordPress plugin. It should be automatically updated and replaced with the new plugin.
• If you embedded a special code to connect your site. Please consider replacing it with the new updated code. The old one will continue working for at least next 6 months though. But it’s better to replace it now and do not think about it later. If you need our help with this, please create a private support ticket.

Introducing Inline Widgets

Following your requests, recently we implemented embeddable inline widgets (also known as static opt-in forms). If you’re using Convertful WordPress Plugin, you can embed these widgets by simply placing a special shortcode (it’s noted in widget editor). If not — you can specify the exact place where the widget should be inserted when the page is loaded. If you need help with this, please contact our support team, we’ll be glad to help!

Currently, we have 6 templates for inline widgets. But if you’re missing some specific template, let us know which one. If it’s widely applicable, we’ll implement it on your request.

Introducing A/B Testing

One more premium feature is live here! Now you can A/B Test your widgets to find better combinations of words, images, lead magnets, display rules and so much more!

What is A/B Testing? In short: it’s a method that allows you to compare two (or more) versions of a widget against each other to find out which one performs better.

It’s an amazing tool that allows you to check your new ideas and to better understand your customers at the same time!

You can create A/B Split Tests for all widget types, including the new Inline widgets.

Introducing the Feedback Guru program

We strive to create a really great lead generating tool, and to achieve this we need your help!

We already implemented this great ticketing system, that allows you to create feature requests and vote for the ones you want, influencing our development priorities.

Now we’re taking one more step in better understanding your desires and needs, and starting the Feedback Guru program. In short: it’s an opportunity to influence Convertful product and services during a 30-minutes talk and acquire 3 months of Premium Subscription for this.

Who can participate?

Convertful Trial or Premium users having 200+ daily visitors at one of the connected websites.

The offer is limited by the time until the end of July 2017, but we may extend it.

How does this work?

In two simple steps:

1. Create a private support ticket, where we’ll discuss the time for a call.
2. Take a 30-minutes Zoom/Skype call with us.

Can I participate several times?

Unfortunately, no. At the moment we consider a one-time participation. But it may be possible that we would change that in future. You can join our newsletter so you could learn about this as soon as it happens.

Anything else?

Sure! You’ll get a special shiny new  Feedback Guru badge. It will be visible in our support forums and in Convertful Community pages, that are coming soon!
