Hey girls! Today we have another business post! It's been forever since we have had one of these, so I thought today would be a great day to bring it back!
Today we are looking at a service idea: Subscription boxes! These are super fun to make and shop for! Today we will explore:

Ideas
I hope you get some ideas from this post and can maybe stat your own subscription box!
Planning
Let's start with something fun: Planning! First, you can figure out your theme. Here are a few ideas:
You could do a monthly art box with craft supplies to make a craft. You could even make instructional videos!
You could do a baking box with supplies to make a treat (This one may be a bit harder to do)
You could do a stationary box where every month you send your clients stationary like pens, and pencil bags
You could do a fashion Accessories box where you send skin care & Makeup products.
You could do just a fun mix of gadgets + Accessories
Pricing
This part can be a bit difficult because there are a lot of things to consider when pricing your box. Here is a list to get you started:
How much money can my ideal client spend on my box?
How much will shipping cost?
How much will the items inside the box cost?
How much will the box + tissue paper supplies cost?
There are a lot of things to consider, so I made an example of what you could do and charge!
This may not be a perfect estimate, but maybe it will help you get started. One thing you could do is charge for shipping, or if your clients are local, do free pickup.
Advertising
This can be hard to think of ideas, but I think once you get started it will be easier. Here are some ways to advertise your boxes:
Flyers
Website
Social media
Business cards
Signs
Experiment with Canva! Design flyers, and more! You can even make a website on Canva for your boxes too!
Building
Building your box will be fun! Let's look at some ideas of things you could include in your boxes.
