Do your loved ones like steak or salmon, chocolate or wine? Instead of one of those plastic gift cards, what if you could give them a gift that is personalized to them? What if you could give it in way less time than it takes to run out and buy a plastic gift card? What if your gift came with an amazing experience for free? What if your loved one could share that gift experience on their social media?
Introducing Uptown Gifts. It can do all that and even more!
The end of plastic gift cards for restaurants
Plastic gift cards are old, very old and nothing new has come from them in decades. They are flat, static, uninspired, but most of all impersonal. Many times you don’t even get a card with the plastic gift card! It sends a signal that the person giving the gift was either too busy or didn’t know a good gift to get for the recipient. Even worse, plastic gift cards destroy our environment and end up in the oceans with plastic straws.
Give a real item from a restaurant, virtually
Uptown Gifts turns a restaurant menu into a smorgasbord of gift possibilities. Any food or beverage item can be turned into a gift. Choose a chocolate dessert, pick a virtual wrapping paper and send it to someone you know loves chocolate. You send it to their mobile device and they see it virtually. Many times the experience is in augmented reality. They see the gift box open up and – wow – there is an awesome looking chocolate dessert with a personal video card from you!
Uptown Gifts inspire & delight
Think of the delight of the person who receives your gift. They know that you know they love chocolate. They know that you chose a special wrapping paper just for them. Then they see your video – wow! They can even choose to give permission to alert you when they redeem their virtual gift for the real thing. You are not just giving a physical gift, you are also giving a virtual gift experience – for free!
Bring the joy back to gift giving
People have been giving gifts to each other since the beginning of time. Plastic gift cards have stolen that ancient joy from one of the most basic human connections, hospitality.
