Our take
Men's lifestyle brands often deliver monthly product bundles to their customers to sell curated selections of their products at a discounted price to the customer. Whilst this type of business plan helps brands boost customer engagement whilst increasing profits, bundles are generally "one size fits all", often resulting in impersonal packages that result in unsubscription.
Bespoke Post provides a men's lifestyle brand selling products such as clothing, grooming tools, kitchenware, and accessories, curating products from brands to be sold on its online store or within a monthly bundle subscription. The company focuses heavily on curating its monthly subscription boxes into themes, providing customers with a monthly choice of products depending on what is most appropriate at the time.
Whilst men’s lifestyle brands and their subsequent subscription bundles are nothing new, Bespoke Post has taken a unique stance by providing a large selection of themed boxes each month. This allows customers to choose their favourite selection of products based on current preferences and trends, increasing customer satisfaction and improving subscription retention for the company.
