RT @tom_maks: Very underrated.

If you product is really valuable, most people don't convert not because they don't need your product, but because they don't understand the value your product provides to them.

Alex Schultz explains how Facebook resurrects churned users

Alex is asked by a founder in the audience how Facebook resurrects churned users, to which he responds:

“I think there’s a big question about why people leave. Generally folks over-index on the idea that people don’t like the product and leave. Usually what happens though is they don’t actually get to the point where they see the value in the product.”

As Alex explains, most Facebook users churn because they didn’t find their friends. So their resurrection strategy is all about getting them to that magic moment of finding their friends.

“The best thing we can do is have their friends send friend requests so we can notify them, they come back, see more and more friends, and get a a fuller newsfeed and have a great experience…. That’s really the main reason people don’t ramp up on Facebook. And realistically, most of the leaving Facebook is not leaving, it’s not ramping up. And so what we do is optimize on getting them to the magic moment when they’re on the site. If they’re not on the site, get someone else to send them a friend request. Notify them of that. When they come back, get them more friends. It’s very focused and we’ve stayed that way for 8 years, and it’s really worked.”
