SendMeTheDrop
Read full descriptionHide full description
A platform for drops. A drop is something happening now: a pop-up, a sample sale, a warehouse night, a record stall, a run. SendMeTheDrop puts them on a map of your city so you can see who's dropped nearby and go. FOR THE COMMUNITY - See what's dropped near you, in the organiser's own colours. - Turn on near me and get a ping the moment something drops within 1km. Two a day at most, never at night. - Know how you get in before you go: walk-in, RSVP, guestlist or tickets. - Get the exact location the moment it's revealed. - Take a ticket in two taps, keep it in Apple Wallet, and show the QR at the door. - Follow the people you rate and hear it first. FOR PEOPLE WHO DROP - Put a drop on the map in about two minutes. - Keep the address sealed until you're ready to reveal it. - Everyone nearby with near me on hears first, for free. - Sell tickets with no fee taken from you. - Boost a drop into promoted spots nearby, or ask brands to sponsor it. - Scan people in at the door from your phone. It works with no signal. - The morning after, find out who came, who came back, and what you keep. FOR BRANDS - Back what's happening. Find drops looking for a sponsor and make an offer. SendMeTheDrop.
