7 Ways to Market Your Subscription Box Cost Effectively

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box

Do you think growing your subscription means spending tons of money on ads? It doesn’t need to be that way! There are so many low and even no-cost ways to market and grow your subscription box business.

The bottom line? You can’t rely on just one marketing channel or strategy. You need to build a multi-channel marketing plan, layering one type of marketing on top of another. Don’t worry - building this plan doesn’t have to be time-consuming or costly.

I’m sharing seven cost-effective ways to market your subscription box business. But I don’t want you to try to implement all of them at the same time! If you’re just getting started, choose one, get consistent with it and then layer on another. If you’re already doing one or more of these, choose another one to add to your marketing plan.

• Leverage social media.
• These accounts are FREE.
• Figure out where your ideal customer is and start there.
