eCommerce subscription is your friend for increasing lifetime value

We’ve all seen DTC and eCommerce brands ask to subscribe and save. But how do you run a subscription model that actually gets customers to subscribe?

The first thing you’re going to need to successfully run a subscription model is a great business and great brand.

Getting customers to subscribe is incredibly valuable to your business. When customers subscribe you don’t need to spend money reacquiring them and your lifetime value increases.

To get more customers to subscribe, you are going to have to make an unbeatable offer. A good offer makes customers feel special and feel rewarded for subscribing.

Stay tuned as we discuss what makes up the perfect business for subscription, some incentive ideas for your brand, and how to use subscribers to optimize ad spend.
