Matthew is the Operations Co-chair of SUBTA (Subscription Trade Association) and a community advisory board member at RiseKit. In this episode… How can you deliver an automated consumer experience? For subscription brands to be successful, they need to look beyond simply acquiring as many new clients as possible. What should you look for? For Matthew Holman, acquiring new clients is about examining the lifetime value and understanding the outcome your clients desire. It's not just enough to have loyal consumers — you want them to experience new products, upsells, and offerings. This not only maintains their loyalty but generates more revenue for your brand. Creating a subscription is a journey, and Matthew says the more you engage clients and become part of their journey, the more you can sell.

In this week's podcast, we talked to Matthew Holman from Qpilot about how to run a successful Subscription scheme. What is an eCommerce subscription Subscriptions are a part of eCommerce, which is experiencing strong growth. A four or five-fold increase is expected over the next few years. There are two main types of eCommerce subscription Membership subscription, i.e. giving discounts and deals, e.g. Amazon Prime Automatic repeat purchases of physical goods, e.g. monthly subscription box Many subscription services have been launched recently, and some commentators have suggested that subscription fatigue is setting in. However, if you can get it right, a subscription service will generate recurring revenue and help form a close relationship with your customers. What kinds of products do subscriptions work best for? Subscriptions are typically used for consumables, i.e. things which are used regularly e.g. Fresh food Food supplements Dog food Health and beauty products These items are things which are used on a daily or regular basis and the customer is shopping for frequently. Getting products on a subscription saves the customer time. Steps to launch a subscription business Step 1. Understand your customer To launch a successful subscription business, you need to understand your consumer and consider whether there are products they are currently getting elsewhere. Think about how you can add value to the consumer. Are there certain products which customers buy regularly? Are there products that would complement your current range that could be sold on a subscription basis? For example, could you start a pet food subscription offer if you sell pet accessories? Why should the consumer buy from you? Step 2. Iron out your offer Details to consider are: What frequencies will you offer? E.g. Weekly, monthly, quarterly Selection options. Is it a fixed offer, or can the customer selection options Step 2. Choose a platform You will need a platform to run your subscription service. There are 30+ apps on Shopify (of which Qpilot is one option). Compare the app's functionality against your proposed subscription offering and choose the one that bests fits your requirements. How to promote a subscription service Your offer should have a dedicated page on your site highlighting the features and benefits of your subscription scheme. Include: Subscription contents, i.e. what you get Subscription benefits. Why this helps the customer and the value it provides Highlight benefits such as environmental impact Subscription conditions.

How to Prevent Your Customers from Shopping Your Competition Shep Hyken interviews Matthew Holman, head of growth at QPilot, an eCommerce software company that makes subscriptions more flexible for brands and customers. He shares how subscription models can shape the customer experience to meet the changing needs of their customers. Top Takeaways: · People consume differently and customers' needs change. Brands should offer flexibility with the frequency of their subscriptions and product options. · In the typical subscription experience, customers cancel their subscriptions once their need for the product no longer exists. But what happens when they want to renew their subscription? That can create a huge friction point. · Companies that want to offer a subscription service get caught up in how amazing or complex they could make something. Always think of what is available, what you can do now, and scale from there. · Businesses always worry about how to make revenue. If they look at things through the lens of a subscription model, create additional engagement, and nurture relationships, they can earn customers – and revenue – for life. · With subscriptions, around 80% of your customer base will be fairly standard on how they shop. But the difference between a business staying alive and a losing business is that extra 20% of people that are on the margins. Those are the people that need flexibility. · Many people resist the idea of companies having their data, but the goal of any good brand is to create trust, communication, and engagement. Customers will share data with the companies they trust. When the data is used properly, it creates a better experience for the customer. · You need to find out what your customers need and want. Talk to your end-users. Test and survey your customers to understand their actual pain points. If you can develop something within your business model that can service that need, you'll be able to become more profitable and grow revenue. Quote: "The best model for a subscription service is one that has a product that can be consumed regularly and content that provides value to the customers." About: Matthew Holman is head of growth at QPilot. He works with brands to scale their subscription programs using data, best practices, and experimentation.

Matthew Holman, Head of Growth at QPilot, believes communication is the key to keeping subscribers long term. Most people don't cancel their subscriptions because of the product itself. They cancel their subscriptions because they aren't getting the right amount of product at the right time and in the right way. But if sellers listen to their customers' needs and adjust their subscription packages accordingly, they'll be able to keep their subscribers happy for longer.
