Intro
Hey, it’s me. I’ve just been reading about your supplement subscription box and I’m thinking about signing up for it. Can you give me some more information about it?
I just want to make sure that I’m getting the most out of it. Here are some things that had me considering signing up:
1. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what kind of product it is you want to sell, and certainly a good idea of how much each month you would like to spend on the product: $50? $100? $250? $500?
2. You said “I just want to make sure that I’m getting the most out of it. Here are some things that had me considering signing up:”
3. As far as I can see, your website includes: an Amazon shopping page, a discount coupon code page, an order form, a video testimonial page (which seems like an unnecessary investment to include), and an email address (that is also unnecessary).
4. You said “Here are some things that had me considering signing up…” so let us move on from there.
5. You mentioned “As far as I can see…” so let us move on from there too; we need to conclude that this is stuff you already know how to do well – i.e., in this case, in writing copywriting – not stuff you need more practice with but more details about which we can find elsewhere in this article (e.g., whether or not the testimonials seem legitimate).
Supplement Subscription Box
With the addition of a few new subscriptions to our product in April, we have been able to raise the quality of our products somewhat. We’ve seen a number of people ask: “what’s the difference between the subscription boxes we offer and others?”
And what they are really asking is: “Why aren’t you selling them on your website instead of through Amazon?”
The answer to that is pretty simple. I don’t want to support Amazon and sell directly through them, which is why we did not do so at launch. But I also don’t want to support a subscription box provider, which is why we are giving them away for free (and yes, it would be possible to make the box more economically viable by selling it on Amazon).
So, as far as I can see, there is no difference between our packages and some other subscription boxes. The general idea with all of them is that you pay monthly for a box that contains different things from month-to-month (which requires keeping track of what you actually purchased).
The difference between us and other companies simply comes down to marketing. You don’t need any knowledge of tech or hardware reviews or subscription boxes if you have just one desire – shipping something awesome (or at least fun) every month! In fact, if you have even just one desire when choosing your products, then these kinds of marketing offers will be more than enough for you.
Of course there are benefits to using third party distributors as well – it helps with getting distribution channels established and with building brand awareness – so they do come in handy if your company doesn’t want to be entirely independent. But when choosing your distribution channels there are some very clear differences that should help you make better choices than most examples out there: price; variety; customer service; selection; customer experience; and customer satisfaction.
If you want people who aren’t afraid to call you out when they think your marketing isn’t working then go for non-subscription boxes!
Monthly Supplement Boxes for Canadians
Supplement subscription boxes are a growing trend in the fitness industry. Starting in 2018, Canada is going to become the second largest market for this type of product. The reason for this growth is that Canadians are looking for something different; not one-size-fits-all products. Supplement subscription boxes offer a significant savings on weight loss supplements and health foods, but may come with a catch—they are delivered to your door monthly and you’re expected to make at least one purchase each month.
These monthly delivery boxes seem like a simple idea, but in reality they can be a lot more complicated than that. The most popular box out there is called the Bfree Box which was launched by Bfree Canada (formerly Examine Your Diet). They don’t have much of an online presence, but you can usually find links to their Facebook page or their website.
This time they have partnered with NutriSystem (the food delivery service) so you can get all their products delivered automatically every month. The products themselves are quite pricey at $34 per month ($195 per year), but there is also a 30 day money back guarantee. If you cancel within 30 days of your order being placed, you will receive $20 back on your next shipment from NutriSystem (minus tax). If it’s anything other than your first shipment from them, they will give you $25 back on your first purchase from them too if it’s within 30 days of their order placement date too (minus tax).
You can also get their current weight loss products for free for 30 days by signing up for the free trial period on the website (you won’t be charged any more until after the trial ends). If you decide to continue using NutriSystem and make full purchases thereafter then there is no risk of cancellation charges; however, if NutriSystem decides to change or discontinue any of its products then these would be subject to cancellation charges as well.
The downside is that they only ship once per month regardless of whether or not the product makes it into your cart through automatic shipment during each subscription period; and after those shipments have been made they do not ship again until the next month comes around again (for example, June 4th would be shipped on June 8th and June 23rd would be shipped on July 4th).
For example: if I sign up for an October subscription I would expect my first shipment between September 11th and September 19th
Choosing the Right Supplement Box for You
Some people need a supplement box that helps them prepare their body for a workout. Others prefer to keep their supplements close by without having to take them on-the-go. For those who prefer to take their supplements at the end of the day, we have a solution. We’ve created our own subscription box, perfect for you. We call it Confit Box.
Our subscription box is perfect for you if:
You like to eat healthy and you want to come back home with a bag of veggies and some protein
You want to make sure you take your supplements before, during or after working out You’re looking for something small, portable and easy to use
In addition, here are some great reasons we built Confit Box:
* It’s made from recycled materials and includes all the ingredients listed on the label (so far)
* It comes in an easy-to-follow user manual (we’ve got those too so you don’t have to)
* It has everything you need in one convenient package that fits easily into a lunchbox or gym bag (it even fits into a backpack)

The Benefits of a Supplement Subscription Service
I offer a supplement subscription box service that helps me build and maintain a network of clients who are loyal to my company, and then provide them access to our product every month.
I have been successful in getting these clients interested in our product, because I have found that the more time I spend building relationships with these people, the more they become interested in my products. They also sign up for our product because we provide a hard-to-match discount on their monthly cost, but also because we are offering them the chance to save money each month (which is why many of them come back each month).
I was able to achieve this by using the following tools:
• Social Media Marketing: Facebook ads, LinkedIn ads and Google Adwords
• Social Media Marketing: Facebook ads, LinkedIn ads and Google Adwords
• Social Media Marketing: Facebook ads, LinkedIn ads and Google Adwords
• Social Media Marketing: Facebook ads, LinkedIn ads and Google Adwords
This has proven to be an effective marketing strategy for us. It has generated 10x sales for my business (which is based on small companies that do not have large marketing budgets), as well as provided a great opportunity for me to make new friends who are excited about our company. For example, Rami Tarka from Inotify sold his $12K business within 3 months of starting his own company using this strategy. Here’s how he did it:

Conclusion
A few months ago I wrote a post on our experiment with subscription boxes. The results were interesting, and I’ll share them here.
I’d like to use this opportunity to talk a little bit about the model we are currently playing with (once again, no affiliation). It is not subscription box, per se; rather it is a box that helps us cover some of the costs of running our startup.
The model has been in discussion for several months now and it was originally meant to work around our PayPal business model. However, since then we have been able to adjust the model slightly so that it is more aligned with what we want from a company we refer to as an SaaS company (which is essentially just what it sounds like).
There are two ways in which this has impacted the business:
1) We are paying less for insurances that would otherwise be charged on our revenue; and 2) The associated costs of running these insurance policies have dropped so much that they are actually becoming more valuable than the policy itself. For example, an insurance policy can be quite expensive when there is no actual damage done (such as when you just drop your smartphone without breaking anything), but can become quite valuable when you do damage (like if your phone gets stuck in your pants while running).
