Even though it’s been a tough year for businesses, the popularity of subscription boxes (as well as the general popularity of the subscription business model) grew immensely. Most subscription services, either mega-brands or startups, saw their sales skyrocket as the pandemic struck.
And that’s not surprising — subscription box companies are doing a great job! Despite the lockdown situation, subscription businesses can still ship literally everything — from clothes, makeup, and food to tactical gear and diverse geek stuff. And people love it!
However, there are thousands of monthly boxes and seasonal boxes out there at your disposal, which makes it difficult to choose the best one for you. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of 100 popular subscription services to showcase the most popular and inspiring boxes. Enjoy!
