Hi Rodinhoods,
I wanted to introduce my startup BuddyGifting.com. It is a gifting website where you can do group gifting or individual gifting. Also if you like the products for yourself, you can purchase it from the “Simply Shop” section.
Why BuddyGifting:
We started BuddyGifting to solve the problems related to gifting that we have faced either as a giver or as a receiver. The idea to solve the below listed problems really excited us and we decided to work towards the same.
Problems Faced by the Gift Givers:
- Going to the market, hunting & selecting a Gift
- The Problem of Budget
- In case of gifting in a group: Taking the initiative and collecting money from the group
Problems Faced by the Gift Receivers:
- Pile up of Unwanted Gifts
- Multiple gifts of the same kind
- Exchanging the gifts – if the option is available
- Spoils the mood of the occasion.
How does BuddyGifting solve the gifting problems:
For the gift givers:
1. Gift upto 3 gift options to the receiver and the gift receiver finally decides what they want. Invite friends & families through Facebook/ Emails if gifting in a group.
2. Gift in a group – Invited friends can contribute from across the world in the common gift pool.
For the Gift receivers:
1. Redeem gifts from the options selected by your friends, OR
2. Swap the gift and get anything else from the BuddyGifting shop, OR
3. Get a prepaid VISA gift card
So, at Buddygifting.com, we wish to bring in efficiency in online gifting market by turning the “wishlist business” over to meet Indian culture.
While wishlist allows you to get gifts you want, in India we just don’t ‘ask for gifts’. It is just wrong…
The solution that BuddyGifting brings to the user is that the gift giver can now give an option of gifts to the receiver, who can then login and choose whatever they want from the options.
Looking forward to get a lot of feedback from the Rodinhoods. Also hoping to see many of you using the website and spreading the word.
Regards,
Rahul Saraf
