The benefits of selling subscription-based products and services for both retailers and customers explains a recent uptick in product sales. Customers can receive personalized, high-quality products at regular intervals and businesses can count on a reliable stream of revenue.

The key to success with subscription services is offering a product that meets customers' needs, focusing on the convenience and rewarding customers for their continued loyalty, according to Pratical eCommerce. Not every product is suitable for a subscription service, the source reports.

Companies like PetfFlow and Manpacks offer customers products they use on a regular basis and often need replacing.

"The Holy Grail is having a customer for life, and having that customer buy from you repeatedly, and I think the only way that you can do that," said PetFlow co-founder Alex Zhardanovsky, "is by knowing your customers and seeking to serve them."

Businesses can do that more easily with online stores that track data on customers' purchasing history and use that information to generate custom product suggestions. With automated recurring billing, customers won't have to go through the trouble of re-entering their credit card information when they want to make online payments.
