This is me after my meeting with Julian. He said he wasn't renewing. He was upgrading to our Premium tier! After a year of working together, he jumped from €69/month to €3K upfront for the whole year. That's 362% more annual value—and the second client did the same thing later that day. Here's what subscriptions delivered for his store: → Predictable monthly revenue that smooths seasonal chaos → Customer relationships that compound instead of churn → Cash flow he can actually plan around → Freedom to focus on wine, not bills Julian didn't upgrade because I have the fanciest platform. He upgraded because subscriptions put money in his bank account without taking up his time. And because over 12 months, he's watched me make it my obsession that brick-and-mortar shops like his don't just survive—they thrive. That's the thing about Monthlee: I'm not building it *for* retailers. I'm building it WITH them. For anyone building: the best product validation isn't what investors say or what metrics look like on a dashboard. It's when a client who's worked with you for a year decides to bet bigger. Co-create with your clients. Build what they need, not what you think they need. When your clients upgrade, you know you're solving the right problem.
Just a question María, is there any restrictions on what type of business a subscription model would work and be effective? I own and operate a ESL business and I have thought of subscriptions on the odd occasion and an alternative to our current model.
Double wow with a cherry on top, María Molinar 👏
Well done, María! Hard work pays off! And agree with you, co-creation outperforms persuasion.
Great move co-creating with clients instead of just building for them . The €3K upgrade from Julian is a clear proof you're nailing it. Can't wait to see more wins.
Yeahhhhhhhhhh
Wow, loooove this! Reading your story with Julian really shows the power of listening to clients and co-creating with them. It’s not about fancy features, it’s about solving the right problem and making their life easier. That’s exactly what I try to do with landing pages: I don’t just make them look nice , I create pages that tell your story, connect with your audience, and convert visitors into clients. If you ever want a landing page that actually works for your business like your subscriptions do for Julian’s, I’d love to show you my portfolio!
Napoleon’s tomb kind of works but def the Eiffel Tower though María
Powerful post María Molinar! Wrong backdrop. Back to the Eiffel Tower tomorrow!
