Never Miss a Birthday! Tempo & Yiftee Announce Partnership to Gift-Enable Your Calendar
Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2013 -- It’s nice to get a “Happy Birthday” post on a Facebook® wall, but isn't a cool t-shirt or an umbrella drink better? Thanks to the new Yiftee-Tempo partnership, launching today, it’s now just as easy to send a thoughtful gift as it is to post “Happy Birthday, thinking of you”. It’s a win for procrastinators and planners alike; in a few clicks, they can send a real gift that their friends receive instantly and can redeem on their special day.
The Tempo Smart Calendar already simplifies busy lives with one-click contacts, directions, messages (running late!), flight status, meeting agendas, conference call dialing and more. Behind the friendly interface lies highly sophisticated artificial intelligence that anticipates users’ needs so they are prepared for what’s next in their calendar, like friends and family birthdays.
Donna Novitsky, Yiftee CEO and Tempo user, says, “Tempo is like a calendar and assistant rolled into one, and now anyone can send birthday gifts throughout the US without ever leaving their calendar. Imagine a friend’s delight when she gets an email or text message saying she received a Sephora gift that she can get right away.”
By connecting Facebook to Tempo, friends’ birthdays appear in their Tempo calendar, so they are just one tap away from the “send a gift” button, where they can choose a gift, pay with a credit card and send. Being a thoughtful friend could never be easier!
The Yiftee-Tempo integration uses the Yiftee GiftUp™ API. Yiftee envisions a gift-enabled world where people can send thoughtful gifts at local shops and restaurants from wherever they are, giving any website or app similar capability to Facebook™ Gifts. The GiftUp API can be integrated in minutes to allow eGifts to be sent from dating sites, greeting cards, social platforms or others. The Yiftee GiftUp API provides options to send gifts at two million local shops and restaurants throughout the USA using the Yiftee Gift Pass, powered by MasterCard™. Any merchant that takes MasterCard can sell Yiftee gifts.
