Unlocking the True Power of Subscription Box Marketing: Sell Benefits, Not Just Features

When selling your subscription box, make sure the copy on your website clearly describes the benefits people will see when they subscribe. A lot of people are great at talking about the features, but no one buys your box to get a box of stuff.


They buy the benefits.

The exclusive access to new products.
The excitement of opening it with their kids or their pet.
The experience of getting lots of new stuff to try out.
The benefit of saving time – ‘we make it easier for you to be a good parent/spouse’


Here’s an example:

You’re selling a box for kids
The kid is not buying it, the parent is

But what makes them buy?

Parents want the best for their kids
Parents are busy
Parents are stressed
Parents care what other parents think
Parents want their family to be or look the best

You know what I hate?


The MYTH of being able to run a business with no money


I don’t know where this came from, seems to be a common thing in this industry


I understand it’s hard and you may have invested in your business already


But in the beginning we
never had this mindset


When we didn’t have any money, the question we asked ourselves was NOT ‘how do we grow our box with no money?’


The question was ‘
How do we get the money?’


The statement ‘but I have no money’ is an excuse, the question, ‘How do I get the money?’ is a problem to be solved.


All new businesses require investment


You put
all the effort into creating a brand and sub-box business and then whine about having no money to grow it 🤷‍♂️


If you don’t have the money…


Go get the money 💸


Debt, investment, crowdfund, savings


I think the real issue is you lack belief


You need money, and you don’t have it – then you may need to take a risk


No risk no reward


No money no business
