Move over Daily Deals; Make Room for MyGiftWand DailyGifts

Melville, NY - (June 27, 2012) - Today, GroupGifting.com, the social gifting service, announced the official launch of their MyGiftWand DailyGifts™ service. Each day the company releases a limited number of free eGift Cards which users can send to their Facebook friends for their birthday or any occasion. The DailyGifts can be sent to any Facebook friend by any member of the service.

"MyGiftWand DailyGifts are a way for us to show users how fun and easy it is to send free eGift Cards though our service," said Tyler Roye, CEO of GroupGifting.com. "Once they try it they are very likely to come back and use the service again."

"MyGiftWand DailyGifts are the perfect antidote for retailers that are tired of the negative side effects of daily deals", said Roye. "Some retailers are finding that they are not gaining loyal, new customers with the deep discounts provided via daily deal services, and now realize that many consumers are just waiting for the next big discount to hit their inbox," he added.

Many of the daily deal sites have come under pressure recently from business owners complaining about a variety of issues; some have complained about the cost of using leading daily deal services, while others are finding it difficult to return prices to viable levels after offering such deep discounts. "Companies want to try new things to promote their brands and new innovations like MyGiftWand DailyGifts will keep coming from creative companies like ours", said Roye. "We have learned from the experiences in the marketplace over the past few years and bring our new service as a fresh alternative."

The company points out that the economics of the DailyGifts model are much more attractive than those of a typical daily deal. "DailyGifts are also inherently more social, creating good will for the brand among a large group of people who can see and join the group gift process on Facebook", said Roye.

DailyGifts are announced each day via the company’s official Facebook fan page and Twitter accounts. Users are encouraged to follow those postings so that they do not miss out on the deals. As with any of the company’s promotions, friends can send these free eGift Cards in just a few clicks, or they can opt to make a contribution and increase the card's value before posting the gift to the recipient's Facebook wall. Once posted, their other friends can join in the celebration and contribute to the card, making it a group gift.

"We are working with our partners to get more DailyGifts into the system so there are enough offers available to satisfy the growing daily demand," said Roye.

The DailyGifts are available on the Android app recently launched by the company and soon will be available on the iPhone app scheduled to launch in early July. The mobile apps serve as a digital wallet for storing eGift Cards so they can be redeemed at the retailer’s brick and mortar location. Users can quickly and easily send, contribute to and redeem cards on the go.

For retailers the MyGiftWand service is designed to unlock the potential of commerce in social spaces. "What we have developed is a true friend-to-friend marketing solution" said Roye. "The service can be used to reach completely new groups of customers or as a tool for brands monetize prior social investments by activating a powerful social chain reaction through their own fan base." The service is completely performance based because retailers only pay a fee for the service when the recipient comes to the store and uses the card, making it a true Cost-Per-Acquisition model.

"We have some exciting things happening in conjunction with our DailyGifts in the very near future," said Roye. "Stay tuned."

GroupGifting.com Launches the MyGiftWand Social Gifting App for Android

Today, GroupGifting.com, the eGift card service, announced the availability of the MyGiftWand mobile app for Android on the Google Play app store. The Android app allows users to send, contribute to, receive and redeem eGift cards from more than 40 brands right from their Android phones wherever and whenever they want.

In addition to the convenience of mobility, the app adds new features and functionality to the social gifting service specifically for mobile app users. The mobile app extends all of the functionality available on the web and in Facebook; users can still send, receive or contribute to free or paid eGift Cards in just a few clicks, posting the gift to the recipient’s Facebook wall so that other friends can join in and contribute. Senders can also send SMS text messages and emails to the recipient and select friends. Notification of the contributions made show up in the app, keeping everyone informed. The app also connects to the company’s recently launched Birthday Reminder Service sending reminders as app notifications.

"The Android app makes sending eGift cards even more convenient and fun," said Tyler Roye, CEO of GroupGifting.com. "And the speed with which users can act will keep the gifts timely and relevant." Additionally the app serves as a mobile, digital wallet designed to store eGift Cards. Gift card recipients will have the option to have their cards right on their phone if they choose, so they can simply redeem the gift at the retailer’s brick-and-mortar location with no need to print or keep track of the cards.

"The digital wallet is a key feature for the mobile app," said Roye. "This is where the convergence of social and mobile commerce really begins to pay off for everyone. The consumer wins through simplicity and convenience and the retailers benefit from the increased traffic to their brick-and-mortar storefronts."

The mobile app extends the value proposition of the company which is focused on delivering a performance-based customer acquisition service designed to help retailers acquire target customers in social spaces. "Retailers make promotional cards available through our system based on the age, gender and location of the recipient, and our job is to enable a social gifting process that gets cards to the customer and the customer to the store", said Roye. "The mobile app streamlines this process and improves our chances of delivering the target customer and earning our success fee."

Users can also use the app to access MyGiftWand DailyGifts™, where they can find a limited number of free cards each day regardless of whether or not it is their friend’s birthday.

"Smart phone users represent a market that we feel is a great fit for our service, since they are largely tech-savvy, and often early adopters," said Roye. "Many rely heavily on their phones for social media, and this has certainly been validated by Apple’s deep integration of Facebook into the upcoming IOS 6." The company intends to follow the launch of its Android app with an iPhone app before the end of June.

MyGiftWand Launches a Different Kind of Birthday Reminder

Today, GroupGifting.com, the social gifting service, announced that they have added a birthday calendar reminder system to their MyGiftWand service. The service sends a weekly reminder to a user’s email address and notifications to their MyGiftWand mobile app. What differentiates this service from the other Facebook reminders is that the system matches free eGift Cards with the recipients based on their demographics, including age, gender and location, as well as other proprietary criteria. If users prefer they may choose to purchase a paid card from any of the participating retailers.

"Now users can send free or paid eGift Cards along with that birthday wish in just a couple of clicks," said Tyler Roye, CEO of GroupGifting.com.

If another friend of the recipient has beat them to the punch and already sent an eGift Card using the system, they can choose to contribute to that gift or simply choose one of the other brand options presented. As with all gifts on MyGiftWand, once the eGift Card is chosen, it is posted to the recipient’s Facebook wall which allows their Facebook friends to join in by making a contribution of their own, turning it into a group gift.

Users can also select an eGift Card from the MyGiftWand DailyGifts™ offered that day. "The DailyGifts are available to anyone regardless of whether or not it is their birthday, but they are only available in a limited quantity each day," added Roye.

The MyGiftWand service provides an innovative way for retailers to take advantage of a true social commerce, friend-to-friend marketing tool to acquire target customers. They can choose how many cards are provided to each demographic and are only charged a success fee for the delivery of the target customer when they show up in the store and use the card, making the program truly performance-based and minimizing the upfront risk. The company also makes a commission on the cards it sells.

GroupGifting.com Adds 17 eGift Cards to MyGiftWand

Melville, NY - (May 18, 2012) - Today, GroupGifting.com announced the addition of 17 new eGift Card brands to the 20 major brands available at the launch of the MyGiftWand social gifting service only two weeks ago, including:

• TGI Friday's
• Domino's Pizza
• Hot Topic
• Torrid
• Logan's Roadhouse
• Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ
• VIP Auto
• Wine Enthusiast
• Hal Smith Restaurants
  • Charleston's Restaurant
  • Hefner Grill
  • Louie's Grill & Bar
  • Mahogany Prime Steakhouse
  • Mama Roja Mexican Kitchen
  • Redrock Canyon Grill
  • Ted's Café Escondido
  • Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill
  • Upper Crust Woodfired Pizza

"We are working hard to provide more choices for users of any age and gender in any area of the country", said Tyler Roye, CEO of GroupGifting.com.  The company intends to continue expanding the offerings significantly in the coming months.

In just 4 clicks, Facebook members can give their friends a free gift with a birthday wish. If a user wants to add some more money to the gift they can also make a contribution and increase the card's value.  The gift gets posted to the recipient's Facebook wall so their other Facebook friends can see what's happening and join in the celebration by making a contribution of their own, turning it into a group gift.

With signed deals to sell more than 200 major brands, the company is now looking within their partner base to strike deals with retailers looking to use eGift Cards as a tool to drive customer acquisition through social gifting. The service helps retailers leverage the social network to reach a target demographic by offering an incentive if the gift recipient meets their target demographic. The location, age and gender of the recipient determine what offers are available.

"We have created a system that is helping retailers unlock the potential of commerce in social spaces; a true friend-to-friend marketing solution," added Roye.

Each day a new batch of available free cards is released.  The company refers to these cards as DailyGifts.  "As the use of our site is starting to spread virally we are in a race to get more DailyGifts in the system so there are enough offers available to satisfy the demand," said Roye.

The company is positioning itself as a more social alternative to Groupon.  "The service is completely performance based because the retailers only pay us a fee for our service when that targeted recipient comes to the store and uses the card, making us a true Cost-Per-Acquisition model," added Roye.  In addition to being paid a success fee for delivering the target customer, GroupGifting.com makes money on commissions we receive for selling the retailers' eGift Cards.

A fully embedded Facebook app as well as mobile apps for Android and iPhone are in the works.

The mobile apps will enable users to send, contribute to, receive and redeem cards on the go.  The apps will also act as a digital wallet to store the eGift Cards. “With all of the excitement around the Facebook IPO, everyone is talking about social and mobile commerce and we are excited to be bringing a service to market that delivers on both fronts”, added Roye.
