  1. What is the Difference Between Membership-Based Businesses and Subscription-Based Businesses? • www.mysubscriptionbusiness.com

  2. Introduction • With the rise of Subscription eCommerce, the term “Subscription-based business” has spread like a wildfire. Everyone is starting to express their own thoughts on launching a subscription box business or service. However, the concept is often confused with Membership-based businesses. So, I would like to share some crucial points to spot the difference between both businesses.

  3. In terms of content: • 1. When I typed “Membership-based business” on Google, the results were:

  4. 2. When I searched “Subscription-based business” on Google, the results were:

  5. I found that:- • The search results for both queries are completely different. Also, when I explored the search results one by one, I found that Membership-based businesses are slightly different from Subscription-based businesses.

  6. As per the concept • Membership-based Businesses: Membership involves the process of “paying money to become a member of a club or an activity or a service place to get some sort of services or privileges for a particular time period.

  7. For example • This is how membership plans look like: Gold’s Gym Membership Plans (Gym Membership) or Membership of Local Grocery Shop.

  8. 1 • 2 • 3 • Membership plans, example, from standard to gold memberships as per the price and distinct features. • Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly renewal options. • Referral programs (not always) • Membership-based Business work on:-

  9. Also, a point to be noted is that these days, memberships for gyms and golf clubs can be bought online too, and that’s why people are relating it with subscription-based businesses.

  10. As per the concept: • Subscription-Based Businesses:Subscriptions are based on providing digital experiences through incorporating technologically advanced software. Almost every subscription plan works digitally.

  11. For Example • Netflix Subscriptions:- Companies such as Netflix were the pioneers of the Subscription Model. Netflix created a special club for on-demand online streaming services, that can be accessed from anywhere around the world through Digital Subscriptions.

  12. 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • Automated Recurring Billing and Payments Tools for providing seamless digital experiences to subscribers. That’s what makes them different from Membership-based business Model. • Various subscription plans from basic to premium subscriptions (on the basis of price and special features). • Monthly, quarterly and yearly renewal options to acquire new customers and retain the old ones. • Subscription-based businesses are based on: Referral systems (not always)

  13. Then there comes the “Subscription box business”. • It’s completely based on the Subscription Business Model. Meaning, what all you just read above about subscription businesses, it is exactly the same for subscription box businesses too. But apart from that, it includes:- • Product Packaging in a nice box + Might be including surprise element(s) to delight the subscribers • Shipping Systems: Delivery of Subscription boxes to customers.

  14. Example of subscription box service: • Loot Crate – Monthly Geek and Gamer Subscription Box • Birchbox – Beauty Subscription Box

  15. Note:- • DO NOT confuse Email Subscription box with Subscription Box Businesses. • In Email Subscriptions, it involves the process of subscribing to a website via email to receive notifications directly in your inbox without visiting a blog or website frequently.

  16. In conclusion: • According to layman terms or even literally, memberships and subscriptions are synonymous. However, If you dig deeper into the concepts of both these business models, you will discover that subscription eCommerce came into existence only after technological advancements, the evolution of eCommerce technology, and the need to engage with the customers more.
