If your subscription box planning feels chaotic, rushed, or downright stressful, this episode is for you.
I know what it’s like to be stuck in a cycle of packing this month’s box while still scrambling to figure out what’s going in next month’s. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I’m sharing how I went from winging it to planning six months of boxes in just one hour. And how you can do it too. You’ll hear the story behind my 6 in 60 Workshop, why this system works, and five simple habits that will help you plan ahead and curate with confidence.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Five actionable steps to help you plan and curate your subscription boxes:
- Theme First – Map out 6 clear themes or anchor ideas.
- Product Partners – Make a running list of your favorite wholesalers, handmade makers, or past vendors. Revisit this list every time you plan.
- Budget Guardrails – Know what you can spend per box – product cost, shipping, packaging – so you’re not scrambling later.
- Lead Times Matter – Give yourself 8–12 weeks to order. Custom items take longer.
- Marketing – Think about how you’ll tease the box. Each theme should have a built-in story you can share on social media.
Join me for this episode and learn how planning ahead makes everything feel easier – from sourcing products and teasing themes to delivering a box your subscribers can’t stop talking about.
