What It's About
Today's caller sees a trend with monthly clubs.
Notes from Chris
Episode 2006
Do you belong to any subscription boxes? That’s what most people call monthly clubs that used to be called “of the month” clubs—like the Book of the Month, the Plant of the Month, or the Wine of the Month. They are actually many different versions of each of those, and today’s caller is wondering about them. With so many around, does that mean the market is saturated or that there’s tremendous demand for yet another one?"I started looking at a wine club that sends out monthly wines, and I stumbled onto a ton of other clubs. You can get everything from unique cigars to the latest in fresh pickles delivered to your door! Do all of these "of-the-month" clubs make money? I'd like to start one of my own. Also, how is the monthly club model different from subscription boxes? It seems like subscription boxes are the cool new thing, but the monthly clubs are still around and doing fine, from what I can tell."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
