I am planning to launch a subscription service this spring. I have spent the last couple of months gathering research. This month I am focused on the logistical and financial sides of things, such as sourcing products and selecting a preferred shipping company.
I have not yet built a website, but plan to use Shopify. I work as a product designer at my day job, so I don't anticipate a struggle on that front, but I am curious as to how far in advance I should launch a website and begin accepting orders or gathering email addresses.
The biggest question I have, though, is around the logistics of shipping out my first couple months of boxes. Let's say I start with enough inventory to sell 25 boxes, but not all of them sell. Should I sell the remaining boxes from the first month to new customers during the second month? Or should I cycle the items back through in future months?
My initial thought is that I should have my first and second months lined up so that I don't run into any snags.
Any thoughts or feedback you have on this would be fantastic.
