First Facebook e-commerce app to go live

E-commerce startup Friendgiftr has just launched the first-of its - kind Facebook e-commerce application selling America's most wanted retail and restaurant gift cards. The Friendgiftr app offers over 120 leading U.S. merchant's official gift cards, including big names like Gap, Dominos Pizza, Pottery Barn, Chili's, Barnes & Noble, Applebee's, Marriott, P.F. Chang's, Dell, Overstock.com, Panera Bread, Red Lobster, Regal Cinemas, Sephora, and other premium-branded gift cards.
Facebook users are now able to buy and send real digital and/or physical gift cards to friends, family, and associates for the holidays, birthdays, other special occasions, or anytime. Buyers can select from over 120 of their favorite retail and restaurant gift cards to buy $10, $20, $25, $35, $50, $75, and $100 gift cards. But what's really special about Friendgiftr is that end receivers are empowered to get what they really want - they can exchange the gift card given to them from their friends or family for any of the 120 merchants Friendgiftr offers for no additional cost and without the buyer knowing. They can also split the gift card across multiple merchants, enabling the ultimate user choice and control.
"The Friendgiftr Facebook app is a unique new way to combine e-commerce with wildly popular social media," says CEO Rob Carpenter. "You now have a quick, easy, and fun place to buy and send America's most wanted gifts - gift cards - on America's most popular social networking site--Facebook. And the best part about it is end-users can exchange their gift card for any other gift card they want or mix and match multiple gift cards from any combination of retailers, restaurants, or online stores that they want. This is a completely unique and new model and experience that puts customers squarely in the driver's seat."
Friendgiftr will be encouraging users to add its app by raffling away free $25 gift cards every week, and $100 gift cards every month, for one year to lucky users who have the app installed, becomes a fan on Facebook, and/or follows its page on Twitter. There is no limit to how many times a user can win a free gift card. Giveaways will begin immediately after the app goes live. There will also be a BIG announcement regarding giveaways soon, so be sure to check in regularly.
"With Friendgiftr arriving just in time for holiday shopping, hopefully customers will have a little more convenience and less stress to give to their friends and family over the next couple of weeks and far into the future," says Friendgiftr's Jonny Chan.
