Eliminate "gift sending" issues faced by corporations
Our subscription service for personalized picture book purchases, "WORLDLIBRARY Personal," has been used by many of our members to provide educational experiences that expose them to diverse cultures from around the world. In the process, we have received comments such as "I want to give a gift not only to my own children but also to the children of relatives and friends," "I want to use it as a welfare program, but it is difficult to keep track of employee addresses," and "I want to give a large quantity for a campaign but cannot manage the inventory," which led to the realization of this digital gift service. We will start offering this product as "the easiest authentic intellectual education gift" to individual customers as well as corporate customers.
Three features of the WORLDLIBRARY Personal Gift
- No address required, immediate delivery: Simply send the gift URL via email, SNS, internal chat tools, etc.
- Zero inventory risk and shipping costs: No physical inventory is held, and shipping man-hours and packaging costs are reduced.
- Ongoing brand contact: The monthly delivery of the picture book will increase the likelihood of the recipient (the company) receiving the book, rather than just providing a temporary "thing.
