On today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that rarely gets talked about… but can make or break your subscription box business: the quality of customers you acquire in Q4. Especially around Black Friday, customers behave very differently than at any other time of the year. If you don’t understand how to handle them, they can end up costing you a lot of money instead of making you profit. In this...

Years ago, I heard a quote that went something like: “Amateurs try to make money on the front, professionals make money on the back.” At the time, I thought it was a bit strange, but now I see there’s a lot of truth in it.
