CUSTOMER CENTRIC
Seamless online management.
Empower your customers to implement changes to their accounts and orders themselves, saving time and energy for both the customer and your business.
Reduce your cost of acquisition, build strong customer relationships and create loyal followers with reliable sources of recurring revenue through subscriptions. tradeit enables you to offer replenishment, curation or access subscription services to your customers with a complete set of self-service tools.
No matter what your business model or type, the flexibility of tradeit’s subscription functionality means it can be adapted to suit whatever you sell, from the ongoing replenishment of commodity items, to simple online access to paid-for content. The subscription tools have been designed to allow the customer to self serve and provide a host of benefits.
Turn potential one-time purchases into repeat orders. Create extremely loyal customers and, potentially, brand advocates that can provide you with valuable word of mouth about your products or services helping your subscription business grow.
It costs six times as much to acquire a new customer as it does to retain an existing one. Earn a regular source of revenue without some of the associated costs of attracting that additional business, help drive increased profits and a reduction in required resources.
The guaranteed future revenue from subscriptions helps merchants to manage cash flow, planning, product inventory and forecasting aiding the day-to-day running of the business.
Free up valuable staff time and resources by avoiding heavy levels of administration necessary for processing new customers, new orders and invoices. Subscriptions are handled automatically without any additional manual intervention required and the customer self-service tools enable them to easily manage their own repeat orders.
As users who subscribe to your products or services will potentially remain customers for a longer amount of time, this gives you a far more accurate way of measuring Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and churn rate, amongst other important KPIs.
Subscriptions can help you open up a new customer base where previously users wouldn’t have been able to afford, or would have been unwilling, to pay the large upfront cost associated with a service. (Think of cloud-based software costs for example. These often now have a monthly subscription fee per user for access, compared to previously where they might have required total payment up front to access the product).
Additional recurring revenue makes businesses more valuable and more attractive to potential buyers. If you are looking to exit a business, a proven subscriber base with a guaranteed projected revenue, and product loyalty will be a worthwhile asset.
Most ecommerce platforms don't offer any subscriptions functionality without the use of third party plug-ins, apps or extensions. These can often incur additional annual charges, monthly fees and/or are based on a revenue share model. The tradeit ecommerce platform has subscription functionality built-in to the core code meaning it has been natively developed to work alongside all of the other functionality, straight out of the box. It's also flexible enough to support all three subscription models across retail, direct-to-consumer and B2B applications making it a great choice for providing ecommerce subscription services.
Empower your customers to implement changes to their accounts and orders themselves, saving time and energy for both the customer and your business.
