Membership privileges at FabFitFun
At FabFitFun, “customers” and “subscribers” don’t exist–but “members” do. When the company is considering a new feature, they always ask, “What value will it bring to members?” This intense member-centric focus helps improve loyalty and endless engagement.
“We say membership versus subscription because that’s what we’ve evolved into. The box is really the premium piece of the membership, but we are continuing to layer on lots of different perks so that, even if you didn’t like all the products in your box, you’re still getting so much value from the overall membership.” - Katie Rosen Kitchens, Cofounder of FabFitFun
This is not to say FabFitFun does not deal with churn. The company uses Recurly’s Custom Retry Model to mitigate involuntary churn, but the solution for voluntary churn lies in FabFitFun’s omnichannel subscriber experience. First, they gather consumer insights—they have a whole team dedicated to this—from their members-only community. Second, they offer a variety of channels to engage with other members and the company—everything from the exclusive digital community to access to VIP flash sales and shoppable video content to bring the brand and products to life.
On average, a typical Recurly customer sees a 15% decrease in involuntary churn one year after they started with Recurly. Approximately 2/3 of merchants consistently see a decrease year-over-year.
