As 2020 is here, there’s already a lot going in your mind on how to boost subscribers for your Subscription Box Business this year. And with this deeply researched and subscription-business-focused Marketing “TO- DO- LIST”, you are surely going to make a substantial change.
New Year is an auto-gear up for new fashion and a whole new beginning – it’s a time when consumers are hunting for the perfect gifts, recipes, holiday destinations, shopping to support their resolutions, and meeting their new goals. This means they will be turning to friends, family, and the internet for recommendations in the first few initial months for a fresh start to a lot of things and goals – all with a lot of energy and ambition.
So you already have a breakthrough to start with – you know that your potential customers are in zeal, you just need to package and market in a way that matches with their zeal, their 2020 goals. Because you already know your existing subscribers, you know what your Target Subscriber feels – their choices, their triggers, etc.
Now that you know your target subscriber well, start using the current trends of the activity or results around your product(s). For instance, if you sell pet products boxes, see what are the current trends in the pet product market, the seasonal requirements, etc. In case yours is a DIY activities-based box business, you need to include the festive trend related things. Similarly, if you are selling a fashion box for clothes and/or accessories or makeup/cosmetics, you need to check the current trends out and keep in mind the winter season in the US, UK and Asia regions and summer season in mind for the APAC region.
The point is to accumulate the current trends as well as the requirements together and match them up with your target subscriber’s choices, just like you play ‘match the lists’, to come up with some good marketing, branding, offers and packaging ideas to draw attention of your new potential customers as well as your existing customers.
Take the New Year as an opportunity to make your Subscription box marketing campaign a HIT by reaching out to maximum potential customers, creating an impression so strong that they’re taken aback in surprise and embarked to take an action.
