The subscription model is a market that saw huge growth in the pandemic and doesn’t seem to show any signs of slowing. “We are seeing brands in every vertical frantically scramble to try and implement subscriptions,” said Jay Myers, Co-founder and VP of Growth at Bold Commerce. He said the model was a win for both brands and customers.
Scott Hoiland, Co-founder at KetoKrate, said he’d launched the business as a subscription business for five reasons: more predictable revenue, an easy-to-build community, avoiding competing against Amazon, offering better value to the brands and allowing customers to trial products.
The community aspect is particularly powerful, said the panel. Hoiland said that his community also comprises a significant influencer marketing movement.
Tad Frost, COO of golf apparel subscription business Short Par 4 said his company offers a variety of box options to customers. “It’s a love and passion and it’s a community,” he said.
Discussing lessons learnt, Frost said he was still learning. Having originally outsourced fulfillment he said the company had since brought it in house to enable greater control. “The way we need to look at our business is customer experience. If you run a business based on the mindset of customer experience the rest will take care of itself,” he said.
