Launched in 2015, ButcherBox set out to do something deceptively simple: deliver high-quality, humanely raised meat and seafood directly to consumers who were tired of compromising at the grocery store. A decade later, the company is one of the central options of the American grocery shopping experience. In this conversation we learn the answer to one big question: “what does loyalty look like for a brand whose business is subscription based? Reba talks about the development and launch of “Sizzle Society”, explaining how ButcherBox designed a loyalty program that fits the rhythms of a subscription business. The program has registered impressive results to date - a 2x ROI, near-universal opt-in, and a flagship experience, the Chef’s Table dinner series.
