Latest Subscription Business Insights

In several editions of the Subscription News Roundup, I’ve shared articles about car manufacturers incorporating subscriptions for features like heated seats. Today, I stumbled upon this story stating that legislators in New Jersey are fighting back against paid feature subscriptions in the automotive industry. They’ve proposed a bill that, if passed, would make heated seat subscriptions illegal in the state. What do you think about the proposal? I’d love to hear your thoughts, and — as always — schedule time with me if you’re ready to discuss your eCommerce strategy!
