So, it is like Intercom for brick and mortar businesses with call centre/response assistance?

I've always been impressed by the thoughtful and qualtiy content @intercom produces. Having their blogs distilled into a book is very convenient. I've already shared it with a few other founders.

There is a huge problem with digital gift cards not getting used by recipients. Industry average is that 20% of gift card don't get used. We built Giftbit because so that bulk gift card buyers don't have to spend money on gift cards that don't get used.
