What is a Subscription Box?
A subscription box is a curated collection of items in a particular niche delivered to individuals every month for a fee.
A subscription box could also be delivered twice a month or every quarter.
A subscription box can be put together for almost any industry and there are currently over 500 subscription boxes available around the world.
With a subscription box, you get to try out something before investing in the full-sized product and a company gets to reach a new and wider audience.
For instance, Cocotique is a monthly subscription box in the beauty niche for curly hair care.
Subscription and shipping costs for each box differ and can start from as little as $10 to over $50. It all depends on the quality of content in the box.
Are Subscription Boxes Worth It?
If it’s a box for something that you would normally use such as skin or hair care, then it’s worth the investment to try until you find something your hair or skin likes.
It all depends on what’s included in the box but be sure to do the math after you receive the first one or two boxes to make sure it makes sense financially.
Remember, you can order boxes for a particular month only or freeze your subscription for a bit. You can also cancel anytime.
Additionally, some boxes allow you to mix and match or choose items from a particular month for a box.
