Community Learning Series | Digest #2 - June 2020

Dear customers,

We launched the #CommunityDigest series a couple of weeks back and received positive feedback on edition #1. Thanks for your support! We are glad to bring to you the second edition of our digest.



1. Upcoming Webinars

[On-demand webinar] 6 ways to use a recurring billing tool as a customer retention system

2. Tips and Tricks

In the previous digest, we looked at implementing a "30-day money-back guarantee" strategy for your business. Here's your takeaway from this edition:

Tips and Tricks #2: How to cancel offline subscriptions [automatically] that are unpaid beyond the expected payment date (Includes logic explanation and step-by-step instructions.)

3. Integration Spotlight

Following our spotlight on Slack, we'll be focusing on Zoho Analytics for this digest.

Zoho Subscriptions houses over 35 native reports to monitor the health of your subscription business—Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), Churn analysis, and much more.

However, there might be other metrics that you want to track and analyze — for example, you might want to cross-reference your marketing spend over the past 12 months with the corresponding revenue growth. In such cases, you need a central hub, a tool, that can assimilate data from various platforms and offer meaningful insights. That's exactly what our integration with Zoho Analytics does. The best part about Zoho Analytics is its flexibility — you can build custom dashboards and reports to come out exactly like you'd want them to.

To give this integration a try, check out our integration help document to learn how to set it up.

4. COVID-19 Business Resource Center | Zoho Finance

Our COVID-19 Business Resource Center has articles, webinars, and guides that can help you manage your finances during these challenging times. We're constantly monitoring recent government updates and updating these resources to help you stay updated.

5. Customer Corner

In each digest, we will share the success stories of one of our customers. Meet Rick Fadden, the CEO of Bentley Parking Services.

Rick uses Zoho Subscriptions for the recurring billing of his parking management firm across multiple locations. He shares his experience with Zoho Subscriptions:
