Subscription Business Model - Why should you consider it? Steps to Success

Why should you prefer a Subscription Business Model? Even just recently TikTok started testing out an ad-free subscription model for their platform, everyone is giving it a shot, but what do they see in a subscription business model?

Well, let's take a look at why the subscription business model is so irresistible. First off, it's the recurring revenue. It’s a stable income that can always be relied on. Wouldn't you want the assurance that your customers will keep coming back for more of your product and build strong brand loyalty over time?

But why brand loyalty? Think of it like going to your favourite restaurant, and the immaculate and delicious food they serve. Even if you go to other restaurants it just doesn't feel the same. Now apply this to a product. It’s about making your product something customers always come back for, even though there are other options, your product is the most sought-after.

Brand loyalty doesn't appear out of nowhere, you’ve got to stand out from the compitition, but what can make you stand out from the rest? You either don't stand out or stand out as an outlier with offerings that customers love.

It’s all about selling your customers an idea or commodity that your target audience can't live without, instead of selling them on just another generic subscription. Create something unique that only you can do, lean into your speciality and niche and make your customers want your product or service as something they would love to use.

Don't forget to take a minute and consider your goals, what you’d like to achieve, what your customers want and what you bring to the table. Having an existing business that you are expanding with a subscription benefits a lot. From our experience working with existing businesses, they hit the ground running and the momentum keeps them going. Planning right for your business is everything.
