Greenwich, CT November 15, 2001. Felicite.com announces that Madison Ave. Gifts, a retailer of quality crystal, china and other items for the home, has joined its gift registry network. (http://www.madisonavegifts.com)
Unlike traditional gift registries, where gift givers have to buy the whole gift or none at all, the Felicite.com system allows gift givers to contribute a partial amount. This allows the cost of expensive gifts to be shared by multiple gift givers. Each partial contribution is automatically tracked by the gift registry until the gift is fully paid for. With this feature, brides can now register the gifts they really want and not what they think their guests can afford, and guests can always find something on the gift registry within their budget.
All contributions, along with the names and addresses of the gift givers, are automatically summarized to simplify thank you notes. Registrants also receive a free on-line announcement page, photo album and free use of the on-line RSVP system. (see http://www.felicite.com/registry.cfm?mag-1782 for a sample registry)
“We are excited about how easy and simple it will be to register using our new system,” says Joan Smith, owner of Madison Ave Gifts. “After each purchase, the system automatically updates the gift list to avoid duplicate gifts, and the bride is immediately notified via email. You can have one registry for all your events and can use it year after year.”
Felicite.com is a leading provider of private label gift registry systems for on-line and off-line merchants. Its system can be quickly integrated with a merchant’s retail store, web site or mail order operations, and has a number of unique features such as partial purchase (patent pending).
“We selected Felicite.com because it was cheaper and easier to use their system,” says Joan Smith. “This allowed us to focus on providing personal and immediate service to each and every customer, which is something we take pride in.”
