Chico, CA, July 17, 2003.
greenfeet.com (http://www.greenfeet.com)
today launches a new bridal and gift registry service designed to simplify gift
giving, and avoid unwanted and duplicate gifts. (See http:// http://www.felicite.com/registry.cfm?demogf-7815). greenfeet.com is an online and in-store
retailer offering a wide selection of natural and sustainable goods.
Customers can set up a gift
registry directly on greenfeet.com’s website.
Once the registry is set up, gift givers can buy the perfect gift
on-line, or they can call a convenient toll-free number. After each purchase,
the gift list is automatically updated to avoid duplicate gifts. The registry
can be used for a variety of events, including weddings, birthdays, Christmas,
baby showers, and more.
Unlike conventional gift
registries, greenfeet.com’s registry has a unique Partial Purchase feature that
allows gift givers to make a partial contribution toward any gift. This way,
the cost of expensive gifts can easily be shared. The system keeps track of contributions, and updates the
outstanding balance in real-time.
“By adding a gift registry
we allow our customers to communicate their preference for environmentally
sensitive gifts,” says Valerie Reddemann, greenfeet’s Founder. “A gift registry is also good for the
environment because it saves gift givers a trip to the mall. The Partial Purchase feature makes it easy
for friends to get together and share the cost of a really nice gift, like our
energy efficient washer and dryer combo or a natural fiber bed, for example.”
The gift registry contains
many other useful features such as an on-line photo album, RSVP service,
E-notification system, and free announcement page. For example, customers can use the E-Notification system to let
their friends know how to access the registry.
They can share pictures using the on-line photo album. To maintain privacy, each registry can be
protected with an optional guest password.
greenfeet.com also offers free registration cards to include with
invitations or announcements to let guests know where they can purchase gifts.
greenfeet.com selected
Felicite.com (http://www.felicite.com)
to operate its gift registry system.
Felicite.com is the 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 is the only system with the Partial
Purchase feature.
“We liked the many features
offered by the Felicite.com system,” says Reddemann. “In addition, their system was easy to integrate with our Yahoo
store platform. It would have been very
expensive and time-consuming for us to develop these features on our own.”
greenfeet.com is dedicated
to providing the best natural and environmentally safe products available. Its business rests on the principals of
treating customers like family; being socially and environmentally active in
the local community; and conducting business ethically and responsibly. “We
want to show that being ‘green’ can be fun and affordable,” says Reddemann.
