About sobu
THIS IS HOW SOBU WORKS

The idea of verbal propaganda or even referral marketing is not new.

What is being rethought is the way it is done, namely online and via social networks.

Users refer users on their social networks and get credit when a friend follows the recommendation and buys something.

From one customer to another

A fundamental question for any business is how do I market my products in the most valuable and credible way.

Put simply: by word of mouth. A far greater challenge is getting customers to recommend each other’s products.

We have the answer:

sobu (social media & business network).

We are the innovative recommendation platform – a spin-off of the Swiss Post – with which you can take your online marketing to the next level.

Here at sobu, we have developed a unique business model that puts the spotlight on the most credible of sellers, the consumer.

According to the principle “buy – share – benefit”, sobu users recommend the products they have bought in your online shop to their friends via social networks. If one of these friends also buys something from your shop based on this recommendation, he or she will receive a discount. The recommender receives a commission, the amount of which you determine yourself. We take care of the monthly commission payments. True to our motto “From one customer to another”, everyone benefits.

Roland Thiemann, Head of Corporate Marketing at Trusted Shops, on sobu’s entry into the German market: “We are pleased that another player is entering the German market. sobu is an independent and reliable partner for companies and online shoppers. Just like Trusted Shops, sobu offers a business model with real added value that focuses on security and trustworthiness.”

SOBU – THE COMPANY

We are a start-up from a Swiss Post spin-off and have been an independent company since May 1, 2016.

The planned internationalization of sobu led to the post agreeing to a management buyout. It all started in 2011, when sobu emerged as a recommendation platform from Swiss Post’s innovative pool of ideas.

Since then, we have successfully established ourselves on the Swiss market and gained international recognition in the process. In 2015 we were nominated as one of the “Best in General E-Commerce”. eCommerce Awards for Excellence in London. In January 2016 we were named “Coolest Startup” at the WORLD WEBFORUM in Zurich. Since then, our goals have become even more ambitious. With our business model, we want to revolutionize the marketing world and shape it in the long term. The next step in realizing this vision will be our new platform, which will go live in the first quarter of 2017. Join us and become part of it great Travel – we look forward to seeing you!
