Target’s subscription plan is free and provides deliveries in four-, six-, eight-, 10- and 12-week installments. The retailer is primarily trying to compete with similar Amazon.com programs such as Subscribe and Save and Amazon Prime.



Target executives said subscription sales of baby items, introduced in fall 2013, now account for about 15% of the retailer’s online sales.
