The 'Nothing' subscription service is an anti-consumerism product that provides an almost tongue-in-cheek solution for consumers looking to make yet another purchase. The service works on a subscription basis to provide consumers with absolutely nothing other than a certificate that proclaims them a subscriber. The service is also suitable as a gift subscription for a colleague, friend or family member to encourage them to take a moment to pause and reflect on everything they already have in their life.
The 'Nothing' subscription service is priced at $8 per month with annual memberships priced at $5 per month and will see 50% of the profits donated towards charitable foundations on a global basis. The service could help those with a focus on possessions better appreciate all they already have in their life.
