Importance of Creating a Positive Subscription Experience

Building a successful business off of customer subscriptions requires prioritizing a positive customer experience. Unlike Amazon or HBO, where customers forget and receive their products, the tangible nature of consumer packaged goods (CPG) makes subscription reminders more impactful. The key is to provide a subscription service that adds value and avoids overwhelming customers with unwanted products. By focusing on customer needs and preferences, brands can foster loyalty and retention.
