8 years ago I had a dream to start a Subscription Box service full of goodies for women to treat themselves and nurture the importance of self care. It took me a full 18 months to make it happen! I was paralyzed by ‘all the things’ I had to figure out with no one to turn to for guidance. That is why I created Launch Your Box! Maybe you need some direction on how to begin, or you are ready to grow your subscriber base. Either way, it all starts with an idea that can turn into a constant reoccurring revenue, a raving fan base, and a business to love. I will help you... Take your first steps and know where to start. Figuring out the logistics: packing, shipping, boxes, oh my! Learn how to launch, from idea to sales. Scale that box to the next level, go big or go home!2021-2025 Sarah Williams Economía Educación Gestión y Liderazgo Liderazgo

    225: The Tech Tools You Actually Need to Launch Your Box
    Oct 17 2025
    Launching your subscription box shouldn’t require a tech degree or a six-figure software stack. Yet too many new subscription box owners spend weeks stressing about tools. Or worse, skip setup until launch week. Let’s fix that. In this quick Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I’m walking you through the exact tech tools you actually need to launch your subscription box. Nothing fancy, nothing extra, just what works from Day 1. The 4 Core Tools Every Subscription Box Business Needs Before you launch your subscription box, you need four core systems in place: Website Platform – Shopify or WooCommerce Payment Processor – PayWhirl or Stripe Shipping Software – Shopify Shipping or ShipStation Email Marketing CRM – Klaviyo Hire Out the Tech or DIY? If setting up checkout flows and automations makes your eyes glaze over, you’re not alone. You don’t get bonus points for doing it all yourself. You can hire someone for a few hundred dollars to get your tech stack up and running, or take it step-by-step yourself. The key is that everything works before you go live. Test Like a Customer Testing your tech isn’t optional. Walk through your own site like it’s your first visit: Can you place a test order from start to finish? Do your emails send automatically? Are your shipping options correct? Do recurring payments process properly? Do your confirmation emails look professional? Click every link. Test every flow. You’ve worked hard to get people to your site, don’t lose them because of a broken button or missing email. A Bonus Tool for Staying Organized Is your desk covered in sticky notes? It’s time for a free project-management tool like Trello, Asana, or ClickUp. Use it to organize launch tasks, email prep, or even box curation. Each has a free version and will save you serious stress. Take Action Carve out an hour to audit your tech stack. Set up your storefront, payment processor, and email CRM. Run a full test order from start to finish. Make sure every piece, from opt-in to order confirmation, works flawlessly. You don’t need the fanciest tools. You just need tools that work. Keep it simple, get it tested, and be ready when subscribers start clicking “buy.” Join me for this quick, practical episode and walk away with a clear, budget-friendly tech plan that’s ready for launch day.

    Give Q4 a Boost by Staying Focused on Revenue Generating Activities
    Oct 15 2025
    Ready or not, the 4th quarter is here. It’s time to sell! The 4th quarter is crucial for any small business. It can make or break your year and generate the momentum you need going into the next year. The 4th quarter matters. I’ve been through nine 4th quarters in my business and I’ve learned a LOT along the way. In this episode, we’re talking about four areas you need to focus on during this important time of the year in order to maximize your revenue before year-end. Building Your Q4 Sales Strategy Inventory Have it Manage it Create demand for it Holiday Promotions Gift Guides Marketing & Advertising Email Marketing - the money is in your list! A consistent plan is crucial. Segment your list and send targeted emails. Have abandoned cart flows and browse abandonment flows set up! Social Media Schedule - consistency is king! Paid Ads - target specific demographics, interests, and behaviors. Prepping for Peak Sales Days Customer Service Make this a priority! Schedule time for it! You’ll have a lot of first-time customers - make their experience a good one! Social Media Response Time Answer questions & respond to comments promptly. Clearly Communicate Urgency & Deadlines Banners on home page Flash sales Promotional codes Free shipping thresholds Christmas shipping deadlines Managing Logistics & Fulfillment Clearly outline shipping and processing timelines. Make sure you have enough staff to handle the influx of orders. Hire temporary staff for the holidays. Have current staff work extended days/hours. Conduct a supply inventory NOW! Bags Boxes Tape Shipping labels Etc. Holiday Packaging How will you uplevel your customers’ experience this season? That sounds like a lot of extra work to do, doesn’t it? And it is. But it is all SO important. So it’s time to ask yourself, “What can I eliminate from my day-to-day so I can focus on these revenue-generating activities?” Now is not the time to start a blog or podcast. It’s not time to create a new ebook or opt-in. It’s not time to build a new website or plan for 2024. Now is the time to focus on SALES and the activities that generate those sales. The 4th quarter is here! Join me for this episode as I walk you through 4 areas of focus you need to jump into right now to make the most of your 4th quarter.

  • Worried No One Will Subscribe? Listen to This First

    Worried No One Will Subscribe? Listen to This First
    Oct 10 2025
    Are you worried you’ll launch your subscription box and no one will subscribe? You’re not alone. This fear shows up for nearly every subscription box owner at some point, especially in the early days. In this Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I’m sharing a mindset shift and some simple, strategic steps to help you move forward with clarity. Even if you’re starting from zero. If fear or self-doubt has you feeling stuck, this is the pep talk you need. Instead of worrying about launch day numbers: 1 - Know that this fear is normal. The fear of “no subscribers” doesn’t mean you’re not cut out to be a subscription box owner. It means you care. Acknowledge the fear, but don’t let it call the shots. 2 - Don’t obsess over your launch date. Setting a date can be helpful, but it’s not the most important thing. Focus on taking action and building momentum before the cart opens. 3 - Start building your waitlist now. Your waitlist is your best launch asset. It gives you an audience of warm leads who are interested, engaged, and ready to buy when the time comes. 4 - Understand that clarity comes from action. You don’t need all the answers to get started. Just take the next right step. Then the next. That’s how you build both confidence and progress. Your Friday Fuel Challenge You’re not behind. You’re just getting started. The best way to start? Take one small action this week to build your waitlist. Post a teaser, create a freebie, and talk about your box. Progress beats perfection. Every single time.
