MERGE!
2018 Conference Adds a New eCommerce Track
Devoted to Subscription Box Businesses
|
|
When
the annual MERGE!
conference
returns to Orlando, Florida
this summer (September 15-18,
2018 at the Hilton Lake Buena
Vista Hotel in Disney Springs,
adjacent to the Magic Kingdom)
it will have an all
new track that will
be of interest to anyone looking to
develop a subscription based
ecommerce business. These
increasingly popular online
businesses - known as Subscription
Boxes - are attracting scores of
entrepreneurs who love the
recurring-revenue model. We are even
seeing entire conferences devoted to
the sector now, including SubSummit
that happens to be winding up today
in Denver, Colorado.

Merge!
Co-Founders Jothan Frakes
and Ray Dillman Neu (at
right). |
As
most of you know by now, MERGE!,
launched by domain industry
veterans Jothan
Frakes and Ray
Neu last
year, is a
multi-faceted conferenc that covers an
extraordinarily broad range
of internet business topics
including Domains, Digital
Branding, Website Development,
End User Experience, New
Business Startups, IP Technology,
SEO Design, Security and
Hosting to Blockchain,
CryptoCurrency and more - now
including Subscription
Boxes.
As
a consumer it is quite
possible you already use a
subscription box service
like Dollar
Shave Club
(shaving products) Birchbox
(beauty products) or Coffee.Club
(obviously coffee). As
an entrepreneur if you are
interested in starting a
similar business yourself
(or need help improving one
you already have), Neu told
us, "This conference is
for you. It will provide an
opportunity to listen to
world class Subscription Box
speakers and |
|
network
with
Subscription Box
entrepreneurs. Seminar
topics will include
Platform Management,
Web Design, Packaging,
Shipping, Customer
Acquisition, Domain
Names, Branding and
much more. |
|
Neu
added, "Along with the opportunity to mingle and learn from other Subscription Box
Entrepreneurs we will be featuring a
Keynote Speech by
Subbly CEO
& Founder Stefan Pretty.
Subbly is a popular subscription ecommerce
platform
and Stefan, who hails
form Scotland, is a bootstrapper
that has worked closely
with subscription box businesses
big and small for the last
four years. He has
great crossover knowledge of starting a business from nothing and making it a
success."
"We
will be featuring
other successful boxes
and speakers from that
industry (to be named
later). It will be a
base for the
subscription box
community to network
and learn from one
another. Even our
other featured speaker,
Norman Farrar
((AKA The Amazon
Growth Guy), is a
subscription box
expert. .CLUB
will also be involved
with their subscruiton-based
clubs like Norman's
own Soap.club
and Bill McClure's
Coffee.Club,"
Neu noted.
Registration

conference is open now
and a special spring
price of $379 will be
available through June
20. It will then
rise to $499 through
September 1. After
