In this episode, I have the privilege of sharing with you one of the best graphic designer’s in the business.  She is a graduate of an acclaimed graphic design college, and has worked with brands all over the world.  And in this episode we will get into everything graphic design for your website.  She will share with you her Ultimate Guide to graphic design for your subscription box business.  She is none other than my wife, co-founder at Louis and Lea, Christine Musick.

Christine  has been working as a professional graphic designer for almost 20 years.  After graduating from a long 3 year course from Red River College, Christine worked as a bilingual designer creating billboards for Pattison Outdoor Advertising.  There she refined her skills for over 10 years working with top companies from all over Canada.  Her creatives were displayed in the nation's biggest cities and busiest streets. 

Her work at Pattison got noticed. Her work there led her to win multiple  graphic design awards.  After her second son, she decided to continue her work from home, but this time for herself.  She became a freelance designer that allowed her to really utilize her full array of talents.  Quickly becoming known for her logos, many companies, both startups and established, reached out to have her mind behind their brands.  

Today Christine is sought out as a consultant for online companies looking to improve their overall brand.  She helps out subscription box companies looking to create a professional looking logo, website, or simply how to find and hire a good graphic designer. 
For the listeners of this show, and specifically for this episode, Christine has created a downloadable PDF of The Ultimate Guide For Graphic Design For Your Subscription Box Business.  The regular price is $19.99, but it will be available to our listeners for only $14.99 now until Tuesday May 11th.  

So if you want to crush it when it comes to your logo, your website and hiring help when it comes to graphic design, then simply click the link below.

In this episode we get into all things SAAS and digital subscriptions.  What are they, how do they work, are they something anyone can even start bootstrapped, or are they only reserved for companies that are backed up with big investors?  If you’ve ever wondered how these digital subscriptions come together, then you’re in the right place today.  I have on the show the CEO and founder of Festival Pass, Mr Ed Vincent!

Before all of the live events got shut down, the company was already a success: seven employees, a projected 40M in revenue, and growing rapidly both as a company and in terms of marketing expansion.

Ed’s got a ton of experience both in business, and with subscriptions.  But I love our conversation because it is one of the first I have on something we don’t always think about when we think of subscriptions, of course I'm referring to digital subscriptions.

In this episode, I dive into the world of food subscription.  What and how can you start, grow and scale a subscription product that is food based.  Often coined as the most difficult niche or subscription to get into, we debunk some myths, and talk about everything you need to know with renowned speaker, fellow Canuck, and co-founder at Everipe, Kerry Roberts!

After a long career in CPG, or consumer packaged goods, Kerry Roberts became an accidental Co-founder at Everipe.  When a mutual friend introduced her to Greg McMullen, her Co-founder who was looking for consumer advice on a smoothie concept he created in his kitchen, Kerry recognized a winning innovation and jumped in with both feet. Kerry had worked at food based companies, and also worked in marketing, so her keen eye gave her the instant insight she needed to help the launch of Everipe.

I first heard Kerry speak at SubSummit 2020, and I instantly knew I wanted to have her on the show.  Her knowledge is second to none, and her enthusiasm not only for the industry, but to help others is always front and center!Guest

Happy anniversary to...well us!  A year ago today, April 6th, I launched the first ever episode of The Subscription Box Show!  I honestly can’t believe it’s been a year, and how much has changed since the inaugural episode.  So I just want to take a quick second to thank all the listeners.  All of you, wherever you are.  It’s because of you that I am able to continue to do this podcast.  Every single listen and download means the world to me and quite frankly keeps the show going.  So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!  Alright
Alright, it isn’t a fluke that for my anniversary episode I have chosen a fellow Manitoban who not too long ago, started his international sensation from a small town basement! In this episode, I have the privilege of having not once, but twice, the co-founder of Shopify’s biggest app developer.  We talk about all things subscriptions, but also ecommerce and how and why some brands explode, and some don’t.  What does it take to make a subscription box grow in today’s subscription landscape?  It’s competitive and hard to get through to our customers.  But no worries as  our guest today is a leader and has been in the tech industry for over two decades, and his knowledge is sure to help all of us out.  Today is part 1 of a 2 part mini series, with Co-Founder at  Bold Commerce, more specifically for the listeners of this show, Bold Subscriptions, Mr Jay Myers
