What are monthly subscription boxes?
Monthly subscription boxes are when a company groups individual, but related, products together and ships them as a single bundle. There can be a lot of variation between different industries, though most work in similar ways.
The good news is there are some things they have in common.
Here are 3 ways in which most monthly subscription boxes are similar:
- Recurring deliveries – usually shipped on a monthly basis.
- Recurring payments – a recurring delivery must have a recurring payment.
- Themed boxes – there is usually a theme (such as a holiday) or an idea (such as sustainable goods) that connect the products.
Examples of the most popular types of monthly subscription boxes.
- Beauty
- Food
- Wine
- Clothing
- Pet Supplies
- Toys
- Coffee
- Book of the month
