BlackSocks, Zürich, Switzerland
Entrepreneur: Samuel Liechti, 40
Product/Service: Sock subscriptions
Start Date: 1999
Start-up Costs: $30,000
Revenue in 2008: $4 million
BlackSocks will ship you a batch of Italian-made, knee-high or calf-length cotton or cashmere/silk dress socks, automatically, several times a year, starting at $98 for nine pairs. Each new "sockscriber" receives a calculation of how much time he will save by not making sock purchases: about 12 hours every year, or three weeks in the lifetime of an average Swiss male, expected to reach age 82.
Liechti brought his "sock-scription" service to the U.S. in 2005. Two years ago, BlackSocks began selling subscriptions for underwear and undershirts as well. Liechti now boasts 40,000 active customers in 74 countries.
