Trial Tech-Focused Boxes

The Verizon Tech Packs Include Mystery Gadgets for Tech Fans

— July 26, 2021 — Tech
Verizon launched a new mystery box service called Tech Pack that delivers various gadgets to your home. This allows fans to try them out for two weeks, return anything they don't want, and keep the remainder. Each box includes three products that are curated to their specific preferences. These gadgets include LG's Tone Pro neck buds, Google Home Minis, Canary's Flex cameras, Mophie Battery packs, Belkin car chargers, and more.

The "try before you buy" model is a great way for users to get their hands on new gear they may otherwise have passed on. In addition, all the items are heavily discounted, giving tech fans great savings on new products. While the box is based on a trial service, "a $250 pre-authorization hold will be placed on your debit or credit card account and after your trial, you'll be charged for any devices you keep."
Trend Themes
1. Mystery Box Services - The popularity of mystery box services demonstrates a willingness among consumers to try new and unknown products, creating an opportunity for companies to curate unique collections that pique consumer curiosity.
2. Try-before-you-buy Model - A try-before-you-buy model not only promotes consumer confidence and satisfaction, but also encourages companies to offer high-quality and innovative products to compete and stand out in the market.
3. Curated Product Selections - Providing personalized and carefully curated product selections to consumers creates loyalty and engagement while also showcasing the diversity and quality of a company's offerings.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Tech companies can leverage mystery box services to showcase their latest products and innovations while giving consumers a hands-on experience to drive sales.
2. E-commerce - E-commerce retailers can offer personalized product recommendations and curated selections through their own mystery box services, providing a unique shopping experience that sets them apart from competitors.
3. Subscription Services - Subscription-based services can incorporate mystery boxes into their offerings to add a layer of excitement and surprise for subscribers, increasing customer retention and loyalty.
