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.
Love Zest! Been using it for months - always get such a great response from gift recipients. Saves so much time compared to traditional gifting methods.
I really love the multiple send/delivery options. Link, email, direct send, etc.
I use this as part of my sales process to thank customers for initial meetings and to celebrate contract signatures :)
I use this as a way to thank guest for being on my podcast, to my deal sponsors for being champions in my sale, and in general when I have conversations with people who I feel need a pick me up!
easiest gifting experience out there! We use this for all birthdays and major holidays now. such a breeze!
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!
