New Zealand's Newest Subscription Sock Service

When was the last time you got seriously excited about having to buy new socks? I’d likely say, that along with the clear majority of the people we spoke to, you haven’t.

Do you really enjoy spending your time searching through hundreds of different styles of socks? Again, probably not.

Lucky for you, as a group of 17-year-old high school entrepreneurs, we are transforming your socks from a boring chore into an exciting surprise that arrives in letterbox every month.

What we are talking about is LetterSox; New Zealand’s newest subscription sock service.

We created LetterSox with the goal of providing a local subscription sock service tailored to a diverse range of sock wearers, one that Kiwis could take pride in being a member of.

What do you get with each subscription?

With each subscription, we will send you one pair of stylish, unique new socks every month, direct to your letterbox. The styles change monthly, meaning an exciting new pair of socks arrives in your letterbox every month! As we grow, we will be adding new types of subscriptions to cover every Kiwi’s sock needs!

To celebrate the launch of our company, we are offering a free pair of socks to any new subscribers who sign up in June. Simply purchase any one of our subscriptions and enter the code “STYLISHSOX” in the checkout, and we will send you an EXTRA PAIR OF SOCKS FREE with the first month of your subscription. Head to www.lettersox.co.nz and take advantage of this fabulous offer.

We were thinking of our experience with our socks, and how there is absolutely nothing exciting about it. We were inspired by other successful companies selling their products through a subscription model, such as Freshbrush and Dollar Shave Club, and felt there was a really opportunity to do something similar with socks.

LetterSox was founded as part of the Young Enterprise Scheme, a nationwide business program run through high schools. However, at LetterSox we share a vision well beyond the realms of a high school business. Our goal is to build a sustainable business that provides people right across New Zealand with the socks they need, whilst removing the chore of having to go out and buy them.

The first month of subscription socks have already been delivered to numerous happy customers around New Zealand, and the company is steadily gaining traction. LetterSox has been selected to compete in the Wellington Regional final of the Young Enterprise Scheme Dragons Den competition. We will be pitching on the 20th June 2017, aiming to win a share of the thousands of dollars available in prize money, which we would be able to use to deliver an even better service to you, the customer.
