is today one of the most popular streaming platforms in the world, which has all the tools to compete not only with other streaming services, but even with cinema. Original productions, impressive budgets and prestige attracting well-known filmmakers make up a strong basis for retaining subscribers and attracting new ones.
Netflix is giving up the iconic service, That’s where it all started
However, 25 years ago, Netflix’s business looked completely different. The streaming platform known today was a competition for movie rentals. The company offered customers to deliver DVDs of popular productions by mail. Interestingly, Netflix has not abandoned this service in the United States to this day.
It turns out that despite the popularity of streaming, the company was still profitable to send the famous red envelopes with DVDs over the years. However, the end of the service will soon come, and thus an era in the history of the well-known platform. The last Netflix envelopes will hit moviegoers in less than a month and a half – the service will expire on September 29.
An era ends. Netflix has prepared a surprise for customers
As we read on the Collider website, Netflix has prepared a real surprise for its subscribers on the occasion of saying goodbye to the iconic. Platform users will be able to grab up to 10 discs with well-known movies. How it’s working?
Every US Netflix subscriber can sign up for an extra DVD pack until August 29. Typically, ordering up to three CDs cost platform customers $19.99 a month. Before sending the next films, they had to return the previous ones. This time, Netflix will send its subscribers random titles, they will also not know the number of discs in a red envelope. The platform will wait for returns until October 27.
