Subscription boxes having been booming since 2019 and looks to continue to do the same. With pretty much everything moving to digital platforms these days, subscription boxes bring back the nostalgia of waiting by your mailbox for your mail carrier to finally deliver your long-awaited package of goodies. Subscription boxes seem to be a perfect marriage between the digital and analog world.

For entrepreneurs, the growth of the industry signals lots of opportunities to capitalize off of the subscription box model. However, the barrier to entry is relatively lower than other industries, there are still challenges business owners must know about.
