Kitting & Subscription FAQs
Kitting is the process of assembling multiple products, often from a range of vendors, into a single package or “kit,” which is then shipped to the customer.
- Assembling Components. Kitting collates components from a range of vendors which are assembled to form one item.
- Assembling Finished Goods. Single items that would normally be bought together, such as a duvet cover and pillowcases, are packaged as a larger item which can be picked and packed fast.
- Pairing Items to Drive Sales. Trending items are often paired with ones that are less popular. Customers enjoy added value and profit is increased.
This is the process of making regular deliveries of subscription boxes to customers. Subscribers sign up to receive boxes containing the same items, or a variety of items at regular intervals – week, month quarter, for example.
