AGreatAffair.com Encourages Including Charities on its Gift Registries

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 12, 2009 -- Los Angeles, California, March 12, 2009 – AGreatAffair.com announced the launch of a charitable gift component to its online gift registry. To encourage people to include a charity on their wedding registries, baby registries or other special occasion registries, AGreatAffair.com donates a portion of its profits from amounts collected for the benefit of charitable causes to various charitable organizations.

“We believe that, given the option, people would like to include a charity that is close to their heart as one of the items on their gift registry, whether it’s their wedding registry, birthday registry, baby shower registry or a gift registry for any other special occasion,” stated Jan Tadros, Senior Vice President of AGreatAffair. “Now, If you include a charity on your gift registry, and gifts are made towards that registry item, we will donate a portion of our profits with respect to those gifts to a charity.”

AGreatAffair.com is a cash gift registry that looks and feels like a traditional wedding registry, but unlike traditional registries, a person can register for anything – no matter how big or small – by listing the gift items on their registry and breaking down the price of each item into "gift segments" that their friends and family can purchase. Gifts can include anything, including a dream honeymoon, wedding expenses, a home down-payment, a new puppy or traditional gifts, like china or furnishings. With this new feature, now a person can include a charity on their gift registry.

The founders created AGreatAffair.com after hearing countless complaints about the constraints of traditional gift registries. People were frustrated because no single registry provided for everything that they wanted and they were forced to register at several different stores. Another major complaint was that people wanted “big ticket items” which were too expensive for a single guest to gift. Many people also wanted the option to register for charitable contributions or life experiences – such as an island getaway or African safari. With an AGreatAffair.com registry, the registrant ultimately gets cash to purchase the gift items with total freedom, and their friends and family have a much more personal gifting experience by purchasing “gift segments” towards a specific item than simply handing over a check.

“Normally anyone registering is limited to the items a particular store has in stock, or items that are within a certain price range that is affordable for individual guests to purchase. Now with AGreatAffair.com, users can register for any gift imaginable and guests purchase gift segments towards the gifts providing guests with the opportunity to participate in gifts they otherwise may not have been able to afford alone,” Ms. Tadros stated.

AGreatAffair.com is tailored for use by anyone celebrating a special occasion, whether it is a wedding, new baby, graduation, birthday, or any other special event. When a user creates a registry, they receive a complimentary webpage which can be customized to share information about the special occasion, as well as to provide guests with an opportunity to RSVP, post a message in a guestbook, and view the registry.
