Facebook + Ecommerce = Friendgiftr

friendgiftr logoNowadays, all you need is a Facebook account.

Friendgiftr expands your social networking experience beyond your usual social gaming and random status updates. Buying a gift via Facebook is now an easy feat. What’s more, you would be spoiled for choices with over 120 brands to choose from, including Starbucks, H&M, Gap, Dell and many more.

From 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. “

Buy a gift in just 3 steps! Check out the screenshots below:

Win Free Gift Cards

To encourage more users, Friendgiftr will be giving out $25 gift cards each week and $100 gift cards each month. This promotion is going to last all year. To be eligible for the gift cards, you would need to have the Friendgiftr app installed, become a fan on their Facebook page and/or follow them on Twitter. There isn’t any limit to the number of times you can win these free gift cards. Sounds like a good deal to me!
