Dollar Shave Club’s Post

Grateful to be joining the Club as I start a new opportunity leading customer sales for Dollar Shave Club! Excited for the future of this wicked awesome brand, and grateful for the experience of having led the Walmart Sales Team at Hostess Brands for the last 3 years. As a loyal Dollar Shave Club consumer for almost ten years, I couldn’t be more excited to tell our compelling story! 🪒 🪒

Subscription businesses, listen up. We asked Kyle Iwamoto, VP of Ecommerce at Dollar Shave Club, to share some words of wisdom based on his 12+ years of experience, and here’s what he had to say: “My first piece of advice for other subscription companies is to be honest. Be honest about where your business is and where you need to be in the next 5 to 10 years. Take that information and go out to market to understand whether or not you need to be on a homegrown platform or if there’s something better that exists out there in the world. I think specifically for us as we were doing that evaluation, what gave us more confidence was the partnership that Shopify cultivated with Dollar Shave Club. They partnered with us to develop our roadmaps, giving us visibility into what was being developed and letting us have influence over that roadmap to help share what we see from the ground floor. This is all really critical for our success and continued success as we go forward into the rest of the market.” Learn more about Dollar Shave Club's journey to Shopify in Kyle's interview with Matt Nelson here: https://lnkd.in/enZ7ZHxu #SubscriptionEcommerce #SubscriptionBusinesses #SubscriptionCompaniesonShopify
