f you have Plesk with Presence Builder and Business Manager, you can
tune your system to offer Presence Builder in the Try and Buy (or
trial) mode. This mode lets everyone evaluate the editor and create
websites for free. However, to acquire such websites, a site owner will
need to subscribe to your hosting plan or purchase a plan add-on.
Note: If you use some other billing solution instead of Business Manager,
you can use the Try and Buy mode as well. Learn more in the section
Offering the Try and Buy with Alternative Billing
Solutions.
How the Try and Buy Mode Works
The Try and Buy mode is aimed at customers who wish to create their own
sites but have little or no programming skill. Plesk helps such
customers by giving them full access to Presence Builder functions to
create sites at no charge. To claim the created sites the customers
subscribe to a hosting plan in Plesk or upgrade the existing one. The
more people you attract by this promotion, the more hosting
subscriptions with Presence Builder you will have.
The Try and Buy mode targets two different groups:
- Existing customers who want to have a website but are unable to
launch Presence Builder due to various limitations. For example,
their hosting plan does not provide this option, or they have
exceeded the number of sites to publish. By using the Try and Buy,
you can upsell Presence Builder to these customers. Learn more in the
section Configuring the Try and Buy for Existing
Customers. - New customers who have created a trial site and now want to claim it
with a new hosting plan. Learn how to configure the Try and Buy mode
for such customers in the section Configuring the Try and Buy for
Potential Customers.
The scenario for upselling to existing customers works this way:
-
Links to launch Presence Builder become available to such customers
on a number of pages in Customer Panel. The customers see the links
and click them.
