Show You Care with a Yiftee

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and although the holiday is often associated with romance and happy couples in love; it doesn't have to be!  It can be about celebrating friendships, loved one's or even showing appreciation for a kind gesture shown to you from an acquaintance.  We all have those moments we can think back on when someone or something made us smile....  What better way to show your gratitude and admiration than by doing something kind in return?  

Yiftee is a new app available both for iPhone and Android users that makes it incredibly easy to say thanks or to simply show someone you care.  

Yiftee™ = Gift + Nifty + Yippee

A Yiftee, described as local gifts on the go, enables shoppers to send friends, family and co-workers gifts at favorite local businesses across the United States to say 'Thanks,' 'Happy Birthday,' 'Thinking of you,' 'Congratulations,' or just to say 'Hey, I'm glad you're in my life!'  They are real gifts that your friends not only can redeem locally, but help support local communities and charity.  

How it Works: 

From your phone or the web....  

 Choose a real gift from the hundreds of participating local merchants

 Choose a friend (via Facebook, e-mail or text)

 Personalize it with a note

 Pay with a credit card

Your friend gets the gift notice immediately..... 

 Is notified via Facebook, e-mail and/or text

 Gets a single-use Virtual Gift Voucher, and your note

 Takes their phone (any smart phone) to the merchant to pick up the gift by showing the 

 virtual gift Voucher

 The merchant rings up the gift as usual, charging it to the Virtual Gift Voucher 

From restaurant gift cards, movie tickets, to your favorite store gift cards and more, it doesn't get any easier to show the people in your life that you care! Yiftee gifts keep dollars in the neighborhood and help communities thrive!  Yiftee is social, local, and mobile for the business, gift giver and gift recipient.

So this Valentine's Day, remember that it doesn't have to be all about love, flowers and chocolate and give a Yiftee to all the people in your life!!!
