Don't Let it be a Bitchbox

A few days after I wrote this it was announced that Birchbox received $10.5million in additional funding for growth. I'm hearing and seeing the complaints.  They're louder as the months go on.  Maybe more people are complaining since Birchbox seems to be exploding with new subscribers. Growing at a rate of 50% per month it has been estimated that Birchbox currently has 45,000 members (60,000 members by the time this posts).  Still, I'm left to wonder: Why does it seem they aren't hearing you ?  Is no one listening or is it deeper.  Have you actually spoken up or i s the indirectness of your communication from a fear of burning the proverbial bridge or you simply believe nothing can be done?  Perhaps they have just been too overwhelmed to do anything about it.

Keep Birchbox or say Birchnots?

April 2011 This was my first Birchbox.  Sure for $10 it was a blast - " dove " zoya nail polish, a cement gray, right on trend. " liv grn " parfume sample.  It smells fresh and yummy like you're passing just-cut pear through the window of a jasmine filled night.   " Wild Rose " facial lotion by Weleda , have not tried this yet.  CAN'T WAIT to use the foaming cleanser by SukiFace .  The lemongrass is so intoxicating I want to scoop it out with my finger and eat it. And finally, chamomile tea, which I drank before this pic was taken! I blame the black licorice!  There is a little card enclosed that you can plant and it will turn to wild flowers.
