The podcast series was recorded during the lunch break of RetailX Event's Spring Festival

The fifth and final episode of the latest SubscriptionX podcast series sees Richard Sale, CEO of Digital Fitness Division at The Original Fit Factory previously of Peloton, visit the booth for a look at how partnerships can be beneficial in reaching new customer bases, as well as helping with growing marketing costs.

Recorded live in May, the episode has Sale stressing that there needs to be a recognisable connection between collaborative companies. It “is ensuring that the partnership makes sense to the consumer. You see two brands collaborating and you’re asking ‘how on earth does that come together or work?’ We could all think of a few examples of that.

“Consumers are obviously very mature. They can quickly understand when a partnership isn’t in their best interest. The optimum partnership is when two brands come together with an equilibrium, the comms are very well thought through and align with kind of the core message of the partnership.”

Produced in association with Chargebee, the limited series also discusses how retailers are turning to the subscription business model; how AI will impact creativity; and working with the right technology partner.
