3 Ways Your Fractional Or Consulting Firm Can Cash In On The Subscription Box Business

Have you heard of Bark Box? Birch Box? Dollar Shave Club? Amazon Subscribe & Save?

All of these "boxes" are massive business success stories of monthly boxes of tangible goodies that people receive via subcription: Bark Box - a selection of toys & treats for dogs. Birch Box - a selection of beauty products right to your door monthly. Dollar Shave Club - men's toiletries and shaving products delivered monthly. Amazon Subscribe & Save - anything you order from Amazon Prime can be set up on monthly auto-delivery for a savings.

Estimates are that the global subscription box market in 2023 was valued at over $31 billion. expected to grow to $36.8 billion in 2024, and then to $71.77 billion by 2028.?

In the U.S. alone, this business was valued at over 15 billion in 2023.

Notice a common denominator of these companies?

They all feature tangible products in their boxes - manufactured tangible goodies.

We now know that the subscription business is headed strongly to the service sector.

A number of forward-thinking accounting and fractional CFO and CMO firms are already offering subscription-based programs.
