According to marketsandmarkets, the subscription and recurring billing market will grow to around $7.8 billion by 2025.

1. Research the competition

Your first step is researching the competition for the type of box you want to create:

● Identify your specific niche. The narrower the niche and the more “specialized” your #subscriptionbox, the better things may be.

● Check out the top-performing boxes in your niche. Assess what works and what they could improve on.

● Aim to offer something your competitors don’t.

2. Develop a business plan

What’s included in a business plan varies depending on your business, but here are the key areas you should cover:

Target market

Business model

#marketingplan

Costs

Metrics

Distribution, sourcing, and fulfilment

Pricing

Company overview

Key personnel

3. Determine which products to include in the box

Choosing the right items is hard. Most companies overcome this by offering a certain type of box, such as themed #subscriptionboxes, personalized #subscriptionboxes, bestseller #subscriptionboxes, and sample #subscriptionboxes.

4. Set a price or price levels

With so much competition out there, your box must provide great value for buyers’ money. Otherwise, you could lose subscribers quickly.

5. Determine a shipping process

You can either handle the shipping in-house or outsource your shipping to a partner. Which is best? That depends on your business’ resources and needs.

6. Set up your website for #subscriptionbox orders

You need to make sure your website can handle making sales. You can either set up your e-commerce store through a service like shopify or sell through a platform like amazon.

7. Market your #subscriptionbox

After you’ve completed the previous steps, it’s time to start marketing your #subscriptionbox. Here are some ways to reach your target audience:

● Promote your #subscriptionbox on social media like instagram.

● Send newsletters advertising the box to your email subscribers.

● Approach influencers in your niche and ask about potential partnerships.

● Run an online giveaway.

● Create a marketing video and post it on a platform like youtube.

8. Review post-launch feedback

Once you’ve been up and running for a few months, measure your performance.

● Make it easy for customers to leave reviews by setting up company profiles on various review sites.

● Offer incentives, such as a discount code for the next box, if a customer leaves a review.

● Identify trends in customer feedback and take action on them.
