The subscription business model is a business model that was pioneered by magazines and newspapers, but is now used by a myriad of businesses. Rather than selling products individually, a subscription sells periodic (monthly, yearly) use or access of a product or service. Thus a one-time sale of a product becomes a recurring sale and builds brand loyalty.
