Are you thinking of starting a subscription box business?
What area of the market are you hoping to provide solutions for? Have you
considered subscription boxes for kids?
Starting a baby subscription box or subscription box for kids requires a
lot of planning. Below are some simple steps you can follow to kick start your
business:
- Narrow down your theme or target
market
This sounds obvious, but you do not want to simply pick an
idea and run with it. These steps involve executing expansive research about
your target market to understand your target audience’s desires and needs.
Research who your competitors would be in the same area of business and other
companies that may be targeting your potential customers.
- Pick a price point
To make a choice, you have to research this area as well.
Consider these elements – price of the product, price of the box itself
(including the packaging materials), shipping costs, monthly expenses, website
maintenance, marketing costs, and fulfillment costs.
- Build a prototype box
Once you’ve narrowed
which products are going to be in your box, assemble a few and hand them out to
some of your family members and friends. Ask for their honest feedback on every
detail. You can make adjustments to your model before going live. This will
save you substantial costs and face value in the long run.
- Create your website and get social
Your website, social media channels, and any other market
place you wish to join will be your sales and marketing arena. Ensure you are
taking quality pictures and creating posts that will grab peoples’ attention.
Take pictures of your prototype box and use them to initiate creating your
branding. Build buzz around the product so that you already have the hype
created when you launch into the market.
- Sell away
Start your selling! Pick a date and officially launch your
product. Be sure to talk it up in the coming months and be clear on your launch
date.
