Based in New York City, Subports provides a simple way for people to buy and sell things via text message.
We work exclusively with independent designers, vendors, artists, and non-profits to encourage sustainable commerce. When users sign up with Subports, their credit card info becomes tied to their mobile number — and then users never have to sign in again. Users can shop independently by text message in a more and more environments — and we regularly organize retail experiments in order to create engaging, unorthodox shopping experiences.
What kinds of things are sold via Subports? Contemporary furniture, yoga classes, baked goods, event tickets, vintage apparel, killer sunglasses…. Vendors use our codes in a variety of formats and forums, including their brick-and-mortar shops, pop-ups, websites, newsletters, twitter feeds, facebook posts, print ads, and other traditional media. Word of mouth has never been a more immediate marketing tool. Because the point of sale is a simple text message, Subports provides incredible opportunities for sellers to reconfigure their businesses, and for consumers to shop independently.
