Key insights
- Quilting is a ~$4.5B/year industry; average quilter spends $8,000–$9,000/year on supplies; many subscription companies in the space do nine-figure revenues.
- Older, niche audiences (e.g., middle-aged women, "Jim Bob" consumers) have higher retention and lower churn because they are less finicky and more loyal once converted.
- Starting with a premium/high price point and then lowering it is easier than starting cheap and raising prices (unless running freemium).
