We want the world to open more.
We’re making gifting simpler and more approachable for individuals and businesses because we believe the world is a better place with gifts. For us, the simple act of opening a package brings tremendous joy, surprise and delight. This isn’t just a good feeling, it’s good for business. We encourage you to open more.
What’s our story? Glad you asked.
We’ve seen far too many closures in the past few years.
People closed off from connection, fledgling start-ups closed off from investment and businesses that have completely closed up shop.
As we watched just how much around us could close down, all we could do was wait for that one other word, that sign in the store window to flip, that neon to blaze back on and say: Open.
As we’ve emerged from our COVID slumber, sadly, the world feels a little different. It feels less intimate. Less engaged. Less human.
Even in our industry, gifting, which is simple and driven by personalization, customization and interaction, there are now complex, detached offerings like: Offline engagement platform, AI-enhanced direct mail and automated sending.
While marketing effectiveness and sales goals are important, these companies have lost sight of why gifting works. It works because unlike any other outreach tactic, it leaves an impression because it’s personal.
After seeing so much closure—people closed off from connection, start-ups closed off from investment and businesses that completely closed—we know good things can only happen when we stay open.
We are Gipht. And we believe in the power of open. That’s because it doesn’t matter if it’s for personal or business reasons, the simple act of opening a gift brings tremendous surprise, joy and delight.
So let’s keep running with open and instead of closing a deal, let’s see it as opening a relationship. Let’s be open to actions because they speak louder than words and let’s be open to new experiences.
Because when you’re open, the possibilities are endless. We are Gipht and we help you:
Open more.
