Pigeon for Newspapers

Newspapers have connected and informed communities for centuries. Print newspapers can, and should, continue to thrive. But to secure their future, they must also embrace the digital realm by extending their legacy of trusted reporting to online platforms.

The challenge? Making that digital transition profitable. Online advertising alone can't sustain quality journalism. The key to online success is the same proven solution that newspapers have relied on for generations: subscriptions – this time via a digital paywall.

But managing a hybrid audience of print subscribers and digital readers shouldn't require juggling multiple, disconnected systems. That's where Pigeon steps in. More than just a paywall, Pigeon is a unified subscription management platform. Whether your customers are digital-only, print-only, or a combination of both, and regardless if their payment method is online or by cash or check, Pigeon handles it all in one intuitive interface.

We built Pigeon specifically with newspapers in mind, so our comprehensive platform offers specialized features designed for newspapers with both digital and print products, ensuring that every aspect of your subscription model is optimized for success.

Sync with Print Vendors

Pigeon can seamlessly connect with your print vendors, automatically syncing your subscriber database to ensure accurate newspaper delivery. No more manual list management or double data entry. When subscribers make changes to their print delivery preferences, updates are instant and error-free.

Postcard Reminders

Pigeon can automatically trigger personalized renewal postcards to be sent to your print subscribers when their subscriptions near expiration. Each postcard includes a unique QR code linking directly to the subscriber's online payment profile. Whether your readers prefer paying online or by traditional methods, Pigeon makes renewal effortless for everyone.

One Unified Interface

Stop juggling multiple systems. Whether your customers are digital only, print-only, or both, Pigeon unifies all your subscribers in one easy-to-use interface. This makes tracking subscription trends and generating comprehensive financial reports easy. With Pigeon, you can have a complete view of your entire subscriber base in one place.
