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.
