How this works:

Each month, 250 new customers arrive. In the gray scenario, they all buy once and never return. In the teal scenario, 30% of them subscribe (recurring monthly with 92% retention), while the remaining 70% still buy once. Subscribers keep paying each month, so revenue compounds over time.

Common questions about launching smart indoor herb gardens subscriptions on Shopify with Beez.

Most successful smart herb garden subscriptions offer monthly (for fast-growing herbs/microgreens), bi-monthly, or quarterly (for slower-growing plants or nutrient refills) options.
