Our advantages

Trustable platform

We can accept losing money and maybe all our business, but we can't consent to lose your trust. Despite that we are a young startup, we did all our best to boost your confidence and make this platform one of the most reliable and trustable platforms in the sharing economy. However, we will continue the hard work to go a step farther with this.

No fake profiles

All the emails and phone numbers are checked and approved. However, we thought that this is not sufficient. Therefore, we added one step to assure that there are no fake profiles. We do ID verification for each of our users to make sure that behind every profile, there is a real person. Of course, we keep complying to the highest security and privacy standards.

Rent, buy and sell second-hand items with a full trust

With our deposit model, we make sure that every posted item in our platform is 100% secured. Moreover, with the three day trial period, you will buy new or used items only when you are 100% sure.

Good for the environment

We appreciate all the efforts in the world to reduce the CO2 emission and leave a better world for our next generations. However, one hand cannot clap. Knocknock also wants to participate and join the effort with its way. By decreasing the amount of produced items, we strongly believe that we can significantly reduce the CO2 emission and water consumption caused by the industry and the whole process behind it.

Additionally, giving a second life to an item will decrease the amount of waste and therefore, the pressure for recyclability. Moreover, renting instead of buying will save enormous places for storage.

Our mindset based on two key concepts

— What is useless for someone can be useful for another

— If one item can serve two people, no need to buy two

We speak your language but not only this

You often hear that a company service, or hotel reception, or customer service speaks your language. It is not always true.

In Knocknock we don't just speak your language. We took an extra mile, as usual, to master it and impress you! We are using cutting edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning to communicate with you. It means that we are always learning to improve our communication with you in the best way.

Moreover, we have noticed that language can be a barrier for our users to exchange their items between them. We made this as part of the past. Now you just need to list your item with your language and we will show it to the other users with their language. The same for you, you will always see the details of the item you are interested in with your language. Our translation will be similar to those that could be produced by a human translator!

2.5% of our profit will go to charity

Our dream is to see a world with no poverty and no jobless people. We cannot remain idle and do nothing about it. Therefore, we promise to donate every year at least 2.5% of our profit to the charity. Every year we will decide to whom we will give this amount and communicate the information to the external world with full transparency. We will also update our followers with the results of each donation. Hopefully, this initiative will motivate other players and help up to reach our goal faster.

We rely on your support to make our platform successful because we cannot achieve this without you! Keep in mind that you are participating in this ambitious goal by every euro you will spend on this platform. You will keep you proud by using knocknock and many thanks in advance!

Improve your purchasing power

It is wise to own an item if you are using it daily or frequently. However, the question is: Is it better to buy it new or used? There is no straight forward answer because most of the asked people answered it: "it depends". There are some obvious advantages of buying new items like warranty, hygiene, etc. When the discussion comes to price and cost, the idea of purchasing the item used becomes interesting.

We can save a considerable amount of money if we buy a used item instead of new. Moreover, the owner can get some money back from the purchased price of the item. This is for the items that we use daily.

But what if we use the item a couple of times per year or even less? Renting an item instead of buying it in this case, becomes economically more beneficial. Moreover, we can not only save money. Owners can even generate money from their underused items if they start renting them to others. Cool! isn't it? It is always a win-win situation!

Convenience & flexibility

Renting or buying almost anything in one place is super convenient. You also do not need to check the opening hours of shops to buy your items. You need just to arrange it with the other user and it will be anyway much more flexible (outside the working hours and also Sundays where most of the shops are closed).

With Knocknock you can find items in your surroundings in a few clicks. So no need to drive long distances to get what you need. The renting option gives you also the opportunity to try items before buying them if you are hesitant. Last but not least, renting gives you the privilege to access super expensive and unaffordable items which you always dream of using and you thought that is impossible. Knocknock makes it possible for you!

Sharing is caring

Have you ever experienced the feeling of sharing something with someone else? Sharing brings happiness and teaches us the importance of taking care of each other. Sharing is fundamental to the development of all human relationships and civilizations. By sharing our items, we create a better society free of hate and egoism. Solving an issue of someone else by just sharing your item with him will make you happy and happiness is contagious.
