Startup of the Week - Wootbox
by Startacus Admin
If you’re struggling with what to buy the geek or gamer in your life for Christmas, then we may have just found the perfect solution thanks to our latest Startup of the Week.
Wootbox is a subscription startup dedicated exclusively to geeks and gamers!
Each month’s box is based around a mystery theme and contains between 4 and 6 related products. Typical products can include figurines, limited edition T-shirts and other must-have goodies. The products are all sourced by the Wootbox team and exude both originality and quality.
Subscriptions can be set up for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months and start from just £18.99 per month.
In terms of value, Wootbox is exceptionally good - the value of each box’s contents is often double the subscription cost! Worth every penny then!
In addition, each subscriber is entered into a monthly draw to win a Megawootbox. As the name would suggest - this is an even better box - a box which typically contains products worth over £1600! In other words, it’s every geek or gamer’s dream!
It seems as though subscription services are here to stay, however it’s likely that the ones which will thrive are those which serve niche customer bases and are wholly committed to quality and customer service. Wootbox - we reckon that’s you!
