Crowdtilt, the most versatile technology platform connecting people and payments for group experiences, purchases and causes, today announced the availability of Sell Something, a new tool that empowers brands and individuals to pre-sell products or tickets to their networks through customized campaigns on Crowdtilt.com.

Sell Something is the easiest way to create a sales channel for an item and minimize the risks associated with upfront costs and inventory by determining exact demand in advance.

In addition, Crowdtilt can support fulfillment for sellers, providing production and shipping options through a network of preferred partners.

Sell Something really delivers on the promise of social commerce."



"We used Sell Something to market a limited-edition DODOcase to our community and donated the profits to Not For Sale, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking," said Macy McGinniss, vice president of marketing, DODOcase. "It was a simple, quick way to create a flash sale and reach our network with a unique, customized offer."

Sell Something has also helped smaller brands and individuals with strong networks offer products to their communities, powering successful campaigns for Alexis Ohanian, who sold signed copies of his new book Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed, Chrome Industries, which offered a flash sale on its iconic backpacks, and Saturday Down South, which has a passionate audience of SEC (News - Alert) football fans.
