A great subscription model is only as strong as its marketing. For building material distributors, it’s not enough to offer recurring delivery plans—you need to ensure contractors know about them, understand their benefits, and see them as essential to their operations.
For Canadian suppliers using Buildix ERP, combining data-driven insights with targeted marketing creates powerful campaigns that drive adoption and retention. This blog explores proven marketing strategies to promote your subscription plans and grow your recurring revenue.
Why Marketing Matters for Subscription Models (200–250 words)
Even the best subscription offering can get lost without visibility:
Contractors may see subscriptions as unnecessary if benefits aren’t clear.
Competitors offering similar models could capture market share first.
Lack of education on how subscriptions simplify supply leads to hesitation.
A focused marketing approach helps overcome these barriers, positioning subscriptions as a smarter way to build.
