### Disney+ Perks: A Fresh Tactic to Mitigate Churn
In the fiercely contested realm of streaming platforms, minimizing subscriber churn is essential for sustaining a dedicated clientele. Disney has made considerable efforts to tackle this issue, mainly through bundled packages. Recently, the company has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative: Disney+ Perks, a loyalty scheme aimed at boosting subscriber retention.
#### What is Disney+ Perks?
Disney+ Perks is a novel program designed to reward subscribers with unique advantages, thereby motivating them to stay subscribed over the long haul. The initiative is branded as a gesture of gratitude for Disney+ users, providing a variety of rewards and incentives.
#### Benefits Included in Disney+ Perks at Launch
Upon its launch, Disney+ Perks offers a wide range of 12 benefits for subscribers:
1. **6-Month Complimentary DashPass Membership** from DoorDash.
2. **20% Discount** on purchases at adidas.com and within the adidas app.
3. **15% Discount** on purchases at Funko.com.

#### Comparison with Hulu’s Perks
Hulu has similarly debuted a perks program, though it currently provides a more restricted array of benefits. These consist of chances to win tickets to events such as Lollapalooza and exclusive perks from partners like Microsoft and LG Electronics. For bundle subscribers who enjoy both Disney+ and Hulu, this amounts to a total of 15 benefits at launch, with the possibility of additional offerings in the future.
#### Conclusion
Disney+ Perks signifies a strategic effort by Disney to bolster subscriber loyalty through concrete rewards. While the initial offerings may appear diverse, the program’s effectiveness will likely hinge on its ability to evolve and respond to subscriber feedback. As the streaming industry continues to expand, it will be intriguing to observe whether competitors adopt similar strategies to maintain their audiences.
