Subscription services are becoming a popular business model. Subscription services can be cheaper, more convenient, and personalized for your customers. A subscription-based business model sells a consumable product or one that requires repeat orders on a monthly or annual basis. Take instant streaming for example. Customers want to watch multiple movies over an extended amount of time. You want to make sure customers want continued service. If your business is ready for a subscription model, this is the time to investigate it.
Types of subscription services include convenience boxes, discovery boxes, and access boxes. Convenience boxes work best for disposable or sanitary items. Discovery boxes allow customers to explore a new hobby or niche product. Access boxes provide exclusive access to new video games or movies.
