Privy is an email and SMS marketing platform built for independent ecommerce brands - the small Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix and WooCommerce stores that can't afford an enterprise marketing stack. Founded in Boston in 2011 by Ben Jabbawy, Privy pairs list-growth popups, drag-and-drop email, SMS campaigns and pre-built automations with hands-on coaching, so a one-person shop can run the kind of marketing usually reserved for big brands. It is the most-reviewed email and SMS app in the Shopify App Store and has helped 500,000+ merchants in 180+ countries drive billions in sales.
