The Washington Post's US-publisher help says linking an existing home-delivery subscription to an online account provides unlimited digital access. Explain the activation route when advertising that bundle. A digital account connection does not establish that the campaign sold a new print subscription.
The Washington Post's US-publisher help requires a home-delivery Subscription ID when an account is not already linked. Qualify whether the destination activates an existing subscription or accepts a new order. Supplying an existing account identifier is not evidence of a newly purchased delivery subscription.
The Washington Post's US-publisher help says temporarily suspending delivery does not credit or extend the subscription, while digital access continues. Keep delivery holds separate from cancellations and refunds in campaign retention reporting. A stopped physical delivery is not enough to classify the subscription outcome.
The Washington Post's US-publisher help lists bill payment, vacation stops and carrier tips as management actions after account linking. Distinguish servicing an existing delivery account from a confirmed subscription order. An account-management visit does not by itself establish new acquisition revenue.

Research scope
Benchmark status reviewed 11 October 2026.
The exact category cohort does not support a publishable AOV aggregate.
Median and middle 50% of account-level average order values. Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census. Parent and sibling benchmarks are never substituted.
