How is a subscription box different from standard D2C?

Subscription boxes rely on high-frequency, automated repeat purchases. The focus shifts from "first-order profit" to "customer retention" and maximizing the number of months a subscriber stays active.

What is a "churn" in subscription context?

Churn is the percentage of subscribers who cancel their subscription in a given month. It is the single most important metric for subscription box health.

How do you calculate LTV for a subscription box?

LTV = Average Monthly Box Profit / Monthly Churn Rate. For example, if you make ₹500 profit per box and have a 10% churn, your LTV is ₹5,000.

What is a good churn rate for a subscription box?

A healthy monthly churn rate is typically under 5-7%. Anything above 10% indicates a "leaky bucket" that makes acquisition spend unsustainable.
