The HVAC tech hiring in August, the holiday gift set production order in August, the fall basement calendar filling in August — these are all decisions being made now for revenue that will show up in November and December.

FOUNDERS

Love Thy Barber's subscription conversion rate is the metric to watch. A barbershop product brand with 18% of new buyers converting to subscription is building a recurring revenue base that most consumer product companies spend years trying to reach. That number, if it holds, changes the business model.
