Goodbye Peaches, Hello Candy: GA Residents Have a Sweet Tooth

A look at the most popular subscription boxes in Georgia

Subscription boxes are the ultimate gift that keeps on giving, and the business model has capitalized on the age of Amazon delivery. Subscription boxes play off of the child-like love of surprises and they’ve taken the U.S. by storm. Whatever you’re into, there’s a subscription box that will deliver a box of goodies to your door, leaving you to tear into it like a kid on Christmas morning. And with traffic in Atlanta being some of the worst in the country, getting everything you could ever need sent right to your door is a saving grace for many. According to this study, these are the subscription boxes we’re most likely to get excited about in Georgia.

The lovely ladies of Georgia have made their voices heard, and they love BirchBox. BirchBox caters to the beauty queen in all of us by creating customized subscription boxes designed based on your own unique preferences. The box provides subscribers with a mixture of popular and lesser-known but high-quality products, making it easy for users to try out new options and order their favorites through a loyalty program. They also give their subscribers some choice in what they receive by letting them pick one sample to receive at the beginning of the month and a way to rate their experiences with the sample so they won’t continue to receive a product they didn’t like.

According to search volume, Georgia is not neglecting its furry friends either. BarkBox is another popular subscription box, giving pet parents new treats and toys for their four-legged children every month. Meanwhile, pet owners are being treated to Candy Club, a premier delivery box serving artisanal and thoughtfully curated candies each month. In fact, Georgia residents love candy so much that the Candy Club box was the most searched subscription box in Georgia among all categories. I’m not pointing fingers but this doesn’t help the fact that obesity rates continue to climb, as 33.9% of Atlanta and the metro surrounding area residents are overweight and 28.7% are obese.

Since we have the candy for dessert, dinner was served up through Home Chef, a popular meal prep subscription box that allows you to choose your recipes and sends you every ingredient you need to make a delicious meal for your family.

Georgia’s most popular men’s subscription box is a little less diverse. The Basic Man box delivers a pair of socks, a t-shirt, and underwear to guys every month, allowing men to avoid having to shop for the basics and just give them what they need. It takes the guesswork out of shopping and makes life easier for men everywhere who break out in hives when they see a mall.

It’s a wonderful time to be alive when subscription boxes take the guesswork out of everything from trying new makeup routines to grocery shopping to buying underwear. If you’re looking to switch up your routine in 2019 or meet some of those New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier and cook for yourself, these are a great way to get started. Check out the local favorites or try something that will work better for you, but whatever you choose, one thing’s for sure - everyone loves getting packages.
