Gartner Research predicts that by 2023, 75% of all DTC brands will have a subscription membership offering. So if you're not already thinking about subscriptions, it might be time to start!
Subscriptions aren't just for coffee and shampoo refills anymore! We're seeing brands in just about every vertical (Clothing, Beauty, Consumer Electronics, Wellness etc) launch some form of membership offering. Whether it's membership for exclusive access, VIP pricing, access to content, etc.
Chris was also the founder of a successful subscription company, Gentleman's Box, which he had a successful exit from a couple years ago. So he's been on both sides of the field!
Some of the topics we discuss are:
- How to sell an experience - the difference between selling one-time vs a subscription
- Why not getting your customers through the checkout might be the best kept secret.
- What are micro-commitments, and how and why you would use them.
- Quarterly, monthly, annual? What's the best frequency? It makes a difference!
- What should your subscription brand's"North Star" metric be?
- How does Chris find his meaning in his work?
- What are some trends we can expect for subscriptions in the next year or two
