  • Chock-full of great examples, and well-written, too!
This book is an excellent read for anyone wanting to start a business - obviously, it's specifically tailored for subscription box businesses, but many of the tips and considerations outlined in this book can be applied to any business. There are plenty of quotes from people who are currently running subscription box businesses, and many examples of different subscription box models that already exist. The fact that the writing is clear, easy to read, and typo-free is just a bonus. Would recommend! ... show more

  • Good overview
Book gave a lot of examples on marketing but not on distribution. I would have liked more detail on using third parties to pack and ship. Along with costs and providers. Only one vendor was listed but in all other chapters the author provided multiple potential vendors. Shipping and packaging is a key to the business but was thinly covered. ... show more

  • A thorough and engaging view on an emerging small business sector.
Extremely clear and engaging explanation about the nuts and bolts of subscription box companies. I'm not looking to be in the business of starting such a thing, but from a "here's how things work", the book was filled with a ton of facts, instructions, and advice from successful entrepreneurs in this space. ... show more
