Face it, organizing a group gift is stressful and a pain. What to
give? How much to spend? Who collects the money? Problem solved:
SocialGift is a fun and easy way for family and friends to pool money
together for better and more meaningful gifts.

SocialGift built a group gifting platform and is now offering a
plug-in for online retailers. The SocialGift Plug-In will sit right
on a retailer’s product page. Shoppers will be able to easily create
a group gift directly through the places they already shop. They pick
a gift, invite friends to contribute, and SocialGift looks after the
rest through an event page where everyone can track the progress.

The SocialGift Plug-In will increase retailers’:



        
        --  New customer acquisition through social invites
        --  Conversion rates
        --  Average order value

SocialGift’s on-site strategy is to create native platform plugins,
starting with Magento and releasing additional platform plug-ins in
coming weeks and months. The developer team is made up of the #1
Magento Gold Partner in Canada. Launching at the X.commerce Innovate
conference was a logical choice. SocialGift is excited about what
X.commerce will mean for the open source developer community.

Retailers will be able to sign up for SocialGift at the conference
with a special introductory offer of a free, no-commitment 3-month
trial, and packages start at $49 USD/Month. The packages are all
priced within reach of any business looking to incorporate group
gifting into their site. SocialGift also offers highly customized
enterprise level solutions. The team dreams that the SocialGift
checkout option gets installed everywhere you shop.

SocialGift removes the friction involved in group gifting for online
retailers, and connects customers together for true Social Commerce.
