Show Them What They'll Miss

Netflix puts a "What to watch before you leave" section right on the cancellation page. When people see shows they haven't watched yet, they might think, "Maybe I should stick around." It turns a goodbye page into a moment of discovery.

Relationship Anchoring Through Duration

That "Member since July 2024" tag makes people think about their history with Netflix. Even a few months feels like throwing away a relationship you've built.

Focus on What They Lose, Not What They Save

Netflix warns that they'll lose personalized recommendations instead of letting them consider saving money. People hate losing things they have more than they like saving money.

Give Them a Softer Exit

The "Pause for 1 Month" option is genius. Sometimes people want to cancel because money's tight, not because they hate Netflix. This gives them a break without fully canceling and regretting it.

Make Cheaper Feel Like a Win

When Netflix shows that price drop from $15.49 to $6.99, it feels like getting a deal, not downgrading. They list what you still get, so it seems like being smart with money.
