SocialLadder recently announced its newest partnership with YogaClub, a subscription box service that delivers on-trend, brand name yoga apparel at a discounted rate. This collaboration will open a new market for SocialLadder, which is traditionally known for working with live events.
Subscription box services have been growing in popularity and in number of offerings for some time. As of January 2017, there were over 2,000 companies offering weekly boxes delivered to customers! A clear sign of the growth and reliance of the new subscription economy business model.
With this increase in supply of subscription box services, the competition has been growing exponentially. Bloomberg reported monthly visits to subscription box service websites totaled more than 21 million in January – up 3,000 percent from just three years ago. This intense and saturated marketplace has led companies to look for ways to differentiate themselves, and get a leg up on competitors.
Recommendations from a friend continue to be the #1 reason people make purchases, so to stand out, YogaClub is using SocialLadder’s peer-to-peer ambassador marketing tools to create organic content & drive new subscriptions. In a generation of consumers who tend to ignore and scroll past banner advertisements, this peer-to-peer marketing business model offers real authenticity to the consumer and helps a brand stand out from the crowd.
Andrew Kaufmann is an Intern at SocialLadder. He currently attends Swarthmore College, as a member of the class of 2018, and is also a part of the Swarthmore College Men’s Basketball team.
