Not Your Mother’s Book Club – The Rise of Monthly Book Subscription Boxes
In recent years, books have become a solid part of the monthly subscription box industry. No matter what your taste, the chances are good that you will find a monthly book subscription box club to suit you.
Readers are increasingly diverse. They are not only looking for their favorite genres but their favorite sub-genres too. Through a monthly book subscription box club, they can receive personalized book selections based on their book preferences.
These subscription services provide perks, such as snacks and treats, postcards, teas, bookmarks, notes from the authors, and other goodies. And the boxes, often referred to as crates, tend to be beautifully-packaged.
The pleasure of opening the packaging is definitely part of the appeal. You pay for a subscription service, but it may feel like a gift when it arrives on your doorstep.
