When it comes to running a business, finding a shipping method to get your products to your customers that is appealing, convenient and cost efficient can be a challenge.

In the wine industry, traditional wine clubs don’t quite fit into the subscription category (or box, so to speak), as they’re missing a key foundational element: Flexibility. In a subscription box or service, customers can choose how frequently they want to receive their products or services, and are often able to have a say in the items they receive; creating a more customer centric experience.  The wine club is an essential part of any winery, but the traditional approach lacks the flexibility and convenience that appeals to the modern shopper, which is why we created subscription clubs on Commerce7.
