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 🕰️ time (months of negotiating) and 💸 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: 🛍️ Gift anything - send high-quality products, gift cards, and branded swag to create great connections, start conversations, show care, and build trust. 🎁 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. 🚚 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. 📊 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, you’re probably asking “that sounds great and all, but where’s the catch: how are YOU gate-keeping?”. Well the answer is we’re trying our darndest not to! And to reinforce that, we’ve aligned Zest's success with your success: 🤝 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? 🙊 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. 📈 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, I’ll stop ranting now. Give Zest a shot, and I’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 😊

Zest is great. It solves all the hassle and headache of gifting. We've been following their progress for a while and think its amazing. Our biggest hesitation, however, is the cost for small businesses to participate. While it's free for users, it's pretty expensive for brands unless they've been grandfathered in. I would love to see a different revenue model that allows for the expansion of the marketplace.

Hi Amanda - I appreciate the honest feedback! Just like most corporate gifting marketplaces, we charge a commission to brands when we send them orders. There are no other fees involved to participate on our marketplace. That said, we can't accept every brand into our marketplace today. I've reviewed the notes from your calls/emails with our team, and it looks like you had inquired about the Zest Operating System, which is a separate platform that we sell to brands to help them to grow their own *direct* corporate gifting businesses (i.e. not a marketplace). We put *a lot* of time and work into those integrations and partnerships to help our brands build successful corporate gifting businesses. We'd like to be able to help every small brand (that's one of the reasons Jeremy and I started Zest), but we also need a viable business model to make sure we can stay in business to achieve that goal. I completely understand where you're coming from. I've made a note to reach out as our business model evolves, and we're able to support more brands like yours. It looks like we're already on an email thread together, so I hope to be able to work together in the future!

I recently tested out Zest to send a few gifts to clients. They made it super simple to send and I only needed each client's email address to send the gifts. What normally would have taken an hour took about 5 minutes total. I was able to track that the client accepted and then received the gift, which was really helpful. Would highly recommend trying Zest.

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 = 🐐
