What is a carpet subscription business?
A carpet subscription business is a service in which customers pay a recurring fee to receive access to carpets instead of the customer purchasing the carpets for themselves. In a subscription model, the customer returns the carpet to the seller at the end of the contract period.
How to start a carpet subscription business?
There are several steps you need to take to start a carpet subscription business — as with starting any kind of business. Some of the key steps include:
- Determine your target market and decide what type of carpets you want to offer.
- Next, you have to look for suppliers who can provide you with the carpets you want to offer.
- Develop a marketing and sales strategy. Ask yourself, how you are going to acquire new customers and retain them as subscribers over time.
- Create a website to showcase your carpets and allow customers to purchase subscriptions. In a competitive market, user experience is everything. The whole customer experience, from buying online to receiving and returning carpets, needs to be super easy for the consumer.
- Get a payment processor that supports recurring payments. Rentle has this built-in.
