Norton, LifeLock + Avast

UX Copy: Example 2

Improving billing notification flows and receipts for Norton, LifeLock + Avast.

Problem

Outdated messaging and design with payment billing notifications were causing high subscription cancellations. The goal was to reduce churn, increase subscription value, use effective subject lines/pre-headers, and reward user loyalty with incentives.

Approach

I worked with customer research and engagement to assess potential disconnects between user sentiment and payment reminders. Based on user outcomes, we implemented a new content strategy across multiple brands. User feedback suggested:

  • Customers didn’t understand the payment reminder emails.
  • Subject lines were unclear and confusing, which meant users were likely to open emails.
  • They didn’t see the value of continuing with their subscriptions. 

Direction + Brief

With the transactional and design teams, we collaborated to enhance email clarity, improve subject lines and pre-headers, and established a content strategy that provided value to loyal subscribers.

Old design and content

The outcomes for each brand are as follows:

For Avast

Renewal + Header TAGs

For Norton & LifeLock

Renewal + Reminder

Results

A/B test results: all payment reminder notifications were full-scaled.

a) LifeLock/Norton: 25-46 bps lift in renewal rates, $1.9M increase in annualized revenue.
b) Avast: $2.9M in annualized revenue for payment reminders and $2.1M in payment receipts - total $5M in annualized revenue.
