Hi PH community, long-time lurker, first-time poster here! I am thrilled to introduce you all to Zest. We set out to make sending and receiving gifts online more delightful for everybody involved, and through a combination of listening to our users and examining the data, we found a huge opportunity in B2B gifting. Right now, there's too much gate-keeping in the world of B2B gifting. Why should anybody have to spend so much ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ time (months of negotiating) and ๐Ÿ’ธ money (literally tens of thousands of dollars) before they can even send their first gift through the existing platforms? We may be biased but we think there's a better approach, and at Zest we want to give everybody the opportunity and tools to run world-class B2B gifting campaigns: ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Gift anything - send high-quality products, gift cards, and branded swag to create great connections, start conversations, show care, and build trust. ๐ŸŽ Branded gifts and experiences - build your branded e-gifting experience in just a few clicks. Add finishing touches like logos, colors, and templated or personalized gift notes before sending. ๐Ÿšš Choose how and when to send your gifts - digitally deliver via email or link or ship directly to an address with total control of timing. ๐Ÿ“Š Keep an eye on all the stuff you're sending - track acceptance rates, package statuses, and campaign spend to glean insights and fine-tune your tactics. Right now, youโ€™re probably asking โ€œthat sounds great and all, but whereโ€™s the catch: how are YOU gate-keeping?โ€. Well the answer is weโ€™re trying our darndest not to! And to reinforce that, weโ€™ve aligned Zest's success with your success: ๐Ÿค We make money when gifts are sent - that's it. And we believe that features that make it easier for you to send gifts should be free, not gated. Why would we shoot ourselves in the foot? ๐Ÿ™Š Get started without talking to us - we love talking with our users, but we understand that sometimes (most of the time?) you don't want to have to talk to us to get started. ๐Ÿ“ˆ We heard from our customers that they used to spend up to $30,000 in platform access fees alone. This makes it incredibly easy for us to swoop in and boost your gifting ROI: take all that money and spend it on gifts instead of flushing it down the drain. Easy peasy! Okay, Iโ€™ll stop ranting now. Give Zest a shot, and Iโ€™d love to hear your thoughts, feelings, comments, feedback, questions, support, memes, really anything, in the comments! My whole job today is listening and responding to you ๐Ÿ˜Š

@jemfeinstein Congrats on the launch! Big fan of Zest.
Jason Curry
This is great. Only paying when the gift is accepted is cool.
Jeremy Feinstein
@jasonacurry heck yeah! Thanks for the kind words!
Dave Ambrose
congrats on the launch! Zest is one of my favorite new tools to use to share gifts to friends and colleagues and it's so DEAD SIMPLE and FAST. to what @jemfeinstein shared in his comment, you can literally GIFT ANYTHING in a matter of a few clicks. it's such a great product.
Jeremy Feinstein
Thanks, @daveambrose! ๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’จ

ZEST IS AWESOME!!!! We are vendors and users of the platform. Not a week goes by when we don't receive fantastic feedback about how easy and effective the Zest platform is for our clients. The platform makes gifting and receiving gifts incredibly fun! After acceptance, the gift recipient can send the gifter a thoughtful note all within the app. This solves the biggest issue with gifting - whether the recipient enjoyed the kind gesture! Once the recipient accepts the gift, they enter their address information, and the gift is magically routed back to the vendor fulfilling it. So seamless and fun, which is what gifting should be. Zest = ๐Ÿ

Congrats on the launch - this looks awesome ๐Ÿ‘ Just an idea: down the line it could be great to hook this up with a printing fulfilment option to be able to send notes/business cards etc to get a low-cost but tangible item sent to someone. I'd buy!
Jeremy Feinstein
Love that idea, @roganjscs! We currently support custom printed flyers, etc. but we do it through our concierge gifting services. Would be very compelling to automate and open that up to everybody! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Alex Ingram
@roganjscs We can also do fully handwritten gift notes.

Congratulations on launch! I really like the product. Curious on what you do when customer enters a wrong email (accidentaly) and pays for the gift, but the receipient has accepted the gift?
Jeremy Feinstein
Thanks, @gigapotential! That's a good question: If the gifter realizes it quickly enough, we can always jump in and correct it before anything gets shipped out. In practice, most people realize that this is a possibility and double- and triple-check everything to make sure that it's going to the right person before sending. ๐Ÿ‘

Nishant Modi
Wow, this can be a game-changer. A free B2B solution is a great start. People may question your markups, as your business model hinges on it.
Jeremy Feinstein
@nishant_modi that's a great point ๐Ÿ‘ It's almost impossible for the general public to compare per gift prices on Zest vs. the other B2B gifting platforms because of the lack of transparency (you'd need to pay those huge platform fees to our competitors to even see their gift prices), but we find that ours are typically less than or equal to theirs.
Nishant Modi
@jemfeinstein Interesting, then whats your business model?
