New to subscriptions?
You came to the right place.
Turn your one-time transactions into long-term customer relationships. Implementing subscriptions gives you predictable revenue, reduced churn, and higher average order values.
Why subscriptions?
The subscription market is predicted to grow to nearly $500 billion by 2025. It’s time to capture your slice of the pie.
Increase customer lifetime value (LTV)
- Repeat customers are 50% more likely to make another purchase than new customers, and they spend 33% more on average
- Subscriptions allow you to foster ongoing relationships with your customers that keep them coming back—in fact, the majority of consumers (60%) have had the same subscription for over a year
Reduce churn
- Maximize the time you have with your customers and give them a seamless experience to do business with you
- Avoid passive churn by allowing for flexible checkout options like one-time purchases, skipping a shipment, or swapping products
Increase average order value (AOV)
- Implementing subscriptions lends itself to increased cross-sell and upsell opportunities
- In 2020 alone, merchants saw an increase of 6% in AOV across verticals, meaning customers are engaging more than ever with subscription brands
Types of subscriptions
Curation
Curation is the most popular subscription model (55% of merchants choose this subscription type). Here, merchants curate a box of one or more products, which are packaged together and shipped at a regular cadence.
Replenishment
The second-most popular subscription model (32% of merchants choose this subscription type), replenishment offers the same product on a consistent basis. It’s also referred to as “subscribe-and-save” and works best for products that are consumables (ones that most people use daily).
Access
The third and fastest-growing subscription model (13% of merchants choose this subscription type), access is most commonly used to offer a membership or gate availability. This model is growing quickly because of the wide variety of benefits merchants can offer their subscribers.
