1. Disney Plus wins the streaming wars price competition, even when its subscription
prices change on Dec. 8. The straightforward $8 per month plan includes 4K
streaming, Imax capabilities and four simultaneous streams. You can also download
available titles on up to 10 devices. It has Netflix beat. Once December comes, this
basic plan will include ads, but if you want to watch ad-free, you'll have to pay $11 per
month for Disney Plus Premium. That's still less than Netflix. Hulu and ESPN Plus can
be tacked on to your Disney Plus subscription as part of the Disney Bundle. If you sign
up for the package now, you can get all three services for $14 a month. Netflix’s Basic
with Ads plan costs $7 per month, and does not include its full catalogue. And though
you can watch in HD, you only get one stream at a time and without downloads. The
$10 basic version nets you one stream, HD quality and only one device for downloads.
Its most popular premium option now sits at $15.50 per month with two simultaneous
screens or devices and HD. Like Disney Plus, Netflix offers four simultaneous streams
and 4K, but you need the $20 premium plan for that.

2. A year after establish in 1998 Netflix gain control the marketplace of video industry
through advertising and marketing strategy as well as their special offers attract more
consumer than any other video industry. As a result, it impacts other entertainment
business without doubt. In case that there is to some extent obstruct during the delivery
sort out of DVD throughout mail or via post than the company do not charge for late
fee, and it became well turned-out change. On the other hand, before the setting up of
this establishment, Blockbuster existed the growing enterprise in this business.
Blockbuster company apply same “No late Fee” strategy as Netflix but unfortunately it
did not work for this company and blockbuster challenged a massive forfeiture as well
as the marketplace cost of its shares decline. Now Blockbuster Company is currently
identified for instance bankrupt industry in the video business. Afterwards Netflix give
emphasis to more on marketing strategy to go to next level and extended DVD
business. There are several brands of competitors from another province who
contested with Netflix. Aside from, Netflix has its distinctive line of attack to attain
achievement and advance in the industry. The simple technique used by the
organization for the fulfilment of organization objectives. The maximum critical part is
associated with the marketplace expansion idea of DVD products. Aside from
 that customer relationship is the major strength and strategy for this organization to
achieve their mission and vision. Every organization has two aspects of success, one
is present commercial enterprise, and another is organization consumer. The essential
aspects are that company always selects current business. Aside from that, in the time
of Antioco’s stage, Blockbuster made double revenue by implementing of low-cost
strategy “reducing late charges”. But this footstep draws attention lots of consumers to
finance further in the Blockbuster Business. After the Examination, it turns into clear-
cut that the forfeiture from reducing changed into 200 million dollars while; on-line
campaign motion total yet again 200 million dollars. After this action, 5 years later
Blockbuster Business was announced bankrupt. Netflix uses following strategy where
Blockbuster never think of changes.

3. Netflix, in full Netflix, Inc., media-streaming and video-rental company founded in 1997
by American entrepreneurs Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. It is also involved in
the creation of original programming. Corporate headquarters are in Los Gatos,
California.

In 1999 Netflix began offering an online subscription service through the Internet.
Subscribers chose movie and television titles from Netflix’s Web site; the shows were
then mailed to customers in the form of DVDs, along with prepaid return envelopes,
from one of more than 100 distribution centres. Although customers typically rented for
a flat monthly fee as many movies per month as they wished, the number of DVDs in
their possession at any one time was limited according to their subscription plans.
Netflix had tens of thousands of movie titles in its catalogue.

4. Netflix Black Screen

When a black screen occurs during video playback, it can be resolved by clearing the
cache or deleting Netflix cookies. For Windows users, uninstalling Silverlight may be a
mandatory step to fully resolving the problem.

Buffering On Mobile Devices

 That same buffering issue is a little different when you are dealing with a mobile device
like a smart phone. Make sure that you are on Wi-Fi instead of your carrier’s 4g
connection. And if possible, always make 5 GHz a preference over 2.4 GHz.

5. Capatalize on Merchandise

In June 2021, Netflix launched a new online store. The company is preparing
a clothing line and live events tied to Bridgerton, as well as events and products for
new seasons of La Casa de Papel, The Witcher, and Stranger Things.

Netflix has created some of the most memorable TV shows of the past decade.
Now, it wants to capitalize on that by selling merchandise—besides, it works extremely
well for Disney. Because Netflix is a bit late to the party, considering it's produced
original content for years, the key will be capturing this market fast enough to catch up
with the likes of Disney.

6. Mobile viewing is on the rise as millions of people take full advantage of Netflix to
stream and download anytime, anywhere, making “binge-free zones” a thing of the
past. And as it turns out, Malaysians apparently aren’t shy about streaming their
favourite Netflix shows in public, even with strangers snooping at their screens.

Malaysians are amongst the top Netflix mobile downloaders around the world and a
new survey data has revealed that 80 per cent of us have admitted to bingeing in
public. That puts us among the top five countries globally to watch their favourite shows
in public with Indians topping the survey at 88 per cent.

Filipinos and Thais are major public binge watchers too coming in at 86 per cent,
followed by Taiwan and South Korea at 75 per cent and 70 per cent respectively.
Compared to the global average of 67 per cent, it certainly seems that Malaysians are
way ahead of the game — though we’re not so sure why people are willing to expose
their entertainment emotions to watch outside their homes.
