Fun to Collect (www.FuntoCollect.com)
today announces a new gift registry service designed to simplify gift
buying. Fun to Collect is a top-rated
on-line retailer of quality collectibles and hard-to-find toys.
Customers can create a list
of gifts that they would like to receive by using the convenient
Add-to-Registry buttons located on Fun to Collect’s web site. Friends can then log on to view the gift
list and make a purchase. To avoid
duplicate gifts the gift list is automatically updated with each new
purchase. The Gift registry takes the
guesswork out of gift buying and allows gift givers to buy the perfect gift
conveniently. (See
http://www.felicite.com/registry.cfm?demoftc-9734).
“Buying a gift for our
customers is not always easy since they have such diverse interests,” says Bill
Miller, owner. “The gift registry will
solve this problem by allowing our customers to list the items that they want
so gift givers will know exactly what to buy.”
One unique feature of the
gift registry is the ability for gift givers to make a partial contribution
towards any gift. This way, the cost of
expensive gifts can be shared. The
system automatically keeps track of partial payments and who made it, and completes
the order only when the full price is collected.
“Some of our collectibles
can cost several hundred dollars,” explains Bill. “The Partial Purchase feature will make it possible for our
customers to register a nice gift and have their friends share the cost.”
The gift registry also
contains many useful features designed to enrich the gift-giving
experience. For example there is a
guestbook where gift givers can leave messages and an on-line photo album for
sharing pictures. To maintain privacy,
an optional guest password can be used to limit access to friends and
family.
Fun to Collect selected
Felicite.com (http://www.felicite.com), to develop and operate its gift
registry system. 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 liked the extra features
offered by the Felicite.com system, such as Partial Purchase and the On-line
Photo Album. Their system was also very
easy to integrate with our Yahoo store,” says Bill Miller.
Fun to Collect is a leading
on-line retailer of quality collectibles and hard to find toys and ranked by
Yahoo as a Top Rated Merchant. Unlike
competitors, Fun to Collect stocks all products in its warehouse in California
and ships all orders either the same day or the next business day.
