Company Profile

ParcelGenie.com has pioneered a new genre of communication, Instant Gift Messaging, that enables real little gifts to be sent via social networks and mobile phones without needing a delivery address.

To send a gift all that is needed is a virtual address such as an email or a social network ID. Gift recipients receive an instant alert about their gift with a personal message; they then choose where to have their gift delivered. The gift is packaged and sent to the specified address providing instant gratification for both the sender and the recipient.

The focus is on 'gifting as communication' with most gifts available for less than £10. Gifts range from chocolates and mugs, to personalised badges and gadgets. The process of sending a gift is quick and straightforward to facilitate spontaneous gifting.

ParcelGenie.com launched in 2008 and the service is now available on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the major smartphone platforms. The business has customers in over 35 countries and operates internationally. ParcelGenie.com's proprietary technology engine is highly scalable and facilitates compelling user journeys. The business is now focused on partnering to add value to third party platforms and to drive their monetisation.

ParcelGenie.com is chaired by Sir Chris Powell, a pioneer in the advertising industry, and has a strong group of investors with relevant entrepreneurial backgrounds.
