Subscription businesses were a big deal in 2019, so what’s the forecast for 2020? Robbie Kellman Baxter shares her expertise on what lies ahead. 

I’m no fortune teller, but something about the beginning of a new year and a new decade makes me want to start spouting predictions. Actually, this isn’t the first time I have taken a crack at predictions. The final chapter of my new book THE FOREVER TRANSACTION is all about the future of subscription and membership models too.

In this post, topics covered include:

• There will be a right-sizing of the “Subscription Box” industry.
• Subscription “Managers” Will be Everywhere.
• Subscription CMOs will swing back toward strategy and away from “growth hacking”.
• Consumers will start subscribing to the thing itself, not just services and boxes.
• Big Companies will try to buy their way into the Membership Economy through Acquisition.
• Healthcare will become increasingly consumer-centric, which will lead to more forever transactions.
