What We Offer Holidays Birthdays Just Because

The Problem Time Shortage

With a widespread shortage of time consumers

have a need for personalized custom made gifts

from birthday, to holidays, to just because.

Average working professional is working 72 hours a

week

Only left 3 hours a day to do everything else

(chores, grocery store, family time, etc.)

We will target the working professional who is short

on time to provide personalized not generic gift

options.

The Solution

Busy professionals need better alternatives to the

mass produced gift ideas such as flowers or gift cards.

Give consumers the power to create a

personalized solution, using our “ The Gift Box” platform to take the hard works out of gift giving.

The freedom to be unique and thoughtful without

the high gift cost and valuable research time.

Marketing Strategy

Have the website developed and running to our

specifications.

Use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to help

get the word out starting in the beginning of summer.

Make sure we are first on industry related google

searches (SEO).

Hit the pavement to market face to face with different

white collar professional office’s and different

networking association’s in the DFW area starting in

September so that they have us in mind when the

holiday season starts and they need gifts.
