Subscription boxes provide an unwavering financial model entrenched in recurring monthly revenue. You can create a subscription box around virtually any niche. If an existing community is around a category or product online, there is a big chance you can build a subscription box around it. For example, you can create your own custom-branded Onoxa products in the box.

Steps Included in Creating a Subscription Box

Coming Up with a Brilliant Idea

For subscription boxes, specificity distinguishes between good ideas and great ones. Therefore, it is important to explore who your audience is and what to include in your box. Think about what makes them unique to others and how these traits define the value embodied by your box.

Finding your niche will make it easier to tailor and curate products for a precise audience. This will allow you to create a remarkable customer experience and maximize retention. Furthermore, marketing becomes easier when you know to whom you are selling.

Studying Potential Customers

The goal of research is to paint an accurate picture of your customer through competitive evaluation, data, and polling. Once you examine your customers, develop a specific customer profile. List detailed data like their interests, sensitivities, median income, buying habits, and motivations to buy.

Putting a Prototype Box Together

This is essentially the initial model of your product. It’s at this phase you will start doing the groundwork for customer experience. This is also when the design process begins. Considerations involved in prototyping include:

• Product safety
• Affordable pricing
• Size of the box and the shipping implications
• Design and aesthetic
• Number of items that will be included monthly
• How to integrate an experience into the product?

Pre-launching

Creating an early buzz is the easiest way to attract brand evangelists and customers. This doesn’t have to be expensive. Create your social media channels, start interacting with users, and ensure you have a launch page or other captivating destination to send your traffic.

One of the main purposes of a launch page is to request the email address of visitors so they can be notified about the launch. Encourage users to provide their emails by offering a free subscription box to one lucky winner. This will assist in keeping interest in your product.

Presale Campaign

As soon as the launch list is ready, it is time to start pushing individuals to subscribe. It’s at this stage your store is live and payments accepted. Start by scheduling convincing emails targeting your leads list. This should get them excited and have them counting down to the launch date.

On your social media pages, think about doing a countdown that includes prizes and giveaways for sharing notifications of your launch. This provides last-minute traction before the launch date. Making sure your first shipping date is clear is essential during this first step.

Shipping Your Subscription Boxes

During the presale period you acquire products, complete the design of your box, and organizing inserts. Now it’s time to tie everything together. The revenue you collect from pre-subscribers will help fund everything you need.

At this point, you may have established an outsourced fulfillment partner. Customers should be notified of the ship date and you should ensure tracking emails are prepared. You should also try sneak peeks and other last minute promotions to encourage additional subscribers.

Private label products within the beauty industry means a manufacturer creates items sold under the brand of another business owner. This enables beauty entrepreneurs like estheticians, salon owners, and online sellers to build a beauty brand without having to invest in the formulation, testing, and production of the merchandise. If you are ready to launch your own beauty brand, follow the steps below.

Conduct Research on Suppliers of Private Label Products

The first step is picking out products to include in your beauty line. This will reinforce what’s needed from potential suppliers. Create a must-have list that includes specificity, like whether you prefer only organic products or natural ingredients. Decide whether you want to launch a line of skincare products, makeup, and or both. Include what’s important to you on your list.

Here are some additional things to consider as you research private label suppliers.

• Are the products FDA approved?
• What is the minimum order quantity?
• Does the supplier print labels and packaging on your behalf?
• Are there additional fees for labeling and packaging, and if so, what are they?
• What is the turnaround time for new and existing orders?

Visit the websites of a few suppliers and you’ll see that most cover the full gamut of private label products. These range from full skincare lines to customizable makeup programs. The large assortments they offer will allow you to mix and match a unique line of products.

Request Samples and Conduct a Product Review

Most suppliers offer single samples or low-cost sample kits for you to buy and test the products. Many companies offer them at industry trade shows so that you can try several at a time.

However the samples are acquired, the next step is to review each of them to see if it satisfies your expectations and is befitting your brand. Your opinion matters most, but getting input from others is also a good idea. If you are the owner of a shop or spa, get clients to assist you in testing out different products to help make your final decision.

Determine How to Sell Your Products

You need to determine how your beauty line will be marketed and sold. You can place your products in your brick and mortar shop or opt to build an ecommerce site to sell your products online, and or a combination of the two.

Design Phase

Some suppliers handle the packaging and labeling process for you for a fee. Their design team ensures the accuracy of the information needed on your label for compliance and industry regulations. Alternately, you can hire a designer who can customize a label for you – once again, for a fee. Either way, you will probably go through various rounds of proofing before you settle on a design that fits your unique needs.

Order Your Products

After you choose the supplier and products you want to sell, you’re ready to place an order!

Networking

Building connections with relevant businesses like local plastic surgeons, dermatology offices and salon owners can be highly beneficial to help you gain more shelf space for your private-labeled products. Start by supplying your prospective retailers with samples and continually build up relationships. Offer incentives for business owners to sell your products, like giving away free products if they sell a certain amount.

Private label products in the beauty industry provide a low-cost method of building your own brand. The variety and low entry costs are so remarkable that even healthy living brands, active lifestyle businesses, and fashion boutiques are growing into this ‘in-demand’ marketplace.
