Vitamin Pack Pros
-
Removes confusion - Vitamin subscription services can reduce customer overwhelm and confusion around trying to find the right supplements for health concerns.
- Time efficiency - Vitamin subscription services are 100% online, which is time-efficient and convenient for consumers. Monthly packs are delivered to your door, with each dose of vitamins packaged in individual sachets for on-the-go daily use.
- Kickstarts health journey - It is the perfect kickstart for health journeys for busy individuals that are time-poor or unsure where to start.
- Cost saving - Vitamin subscriptions are price competitive in comparison to purchasing a singular vitamin product from a retailer. A monthly subscription can be purchased, with longer-term subscriptions becoming far more inexpensive than traditional purchases. This also allows for a variety of supplements to be prescribed making it more cost effective for consumers to have several vitamins.
- Pressure Free - Subscriptions are flexible with no lock-in contracts, making sign-ups less demanding. Typically there are also pause options available allowing consumers to have a break from subscriptions until they are ready to continue
Vitamin Pack Cons
- Generalised advice - Vitamin recommendations are typically based on generalised advice and may not be 100% suitable for the individual and their circumstances. It's important to always consult with a healthcare professional before changing your diet or lifestyle choices especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.
- Over-prescribing - Over-prescribing of vitamins or supplements may occur among services, and often can be encouraged by ‘add-on’ options.
- Can be potentially harmful to misdirected consumers - Often there is no investigation into current medical conditions or medications upon signing up to vitamin services or further referral touch points which can be harmful to individuals mixing supplements with medications or underlying health issues.
- Doesn’t encourage integrated health practices - It is important to always seek guidance with a health professional or doctor before making changes or introducing supplementations into your healthcare routine.
- Lack of follow-up - On-going or follow-up questionnaires aren’t a typical procedure among vitamin subscription providers with no ongoing monitoring or suggestive tailoring of vitamin regimes where appropriate. This can be harmful if customers aren’t educated on proper usage of vitamins or supplements.
