The store that customers initially chose is crucial because they will shop there for a whole year and are likely to feel committed to that store and renew their membership at the end of the year. “91% of subscribers renewed their memberships last year”, indicating that most of their current customers are satisfied, which would likely hold true for new customers as well (Kalogeropoulos). Having an affordable trial membership card as an option would enable Costco to attract customers who are on the fence about joining, and set them apart from their competitors.

Research shows that delaying childbirth by one year can increase a woman’s total career earnings and experience by 9 percent. While men continue to experience pay increases when they have children. Economists have long speculated that women with children work fewer hours and are more likely to take parental leave, also more recent research shows patterns of discrimination against women with children.
