Jifiti Partners with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio
2013-05-13
COLUMBUS, OH, May 13, 2013 (Press-News.org) For anyone who has ever had the opportunity to visit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio, they know the charity relies on the community's generous support of in-kind donations. The House has an entire store room dedicated to these donated items, and the charity relies on in-kind donations to provide material items for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.

In the past, the charity has only been able to let donors know what the House needs by sending out its monthly electronic newsletter and through word of mouth. However, there is now an exciting and more efficient way to donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. Jifiti, a locally based technology start-up company, has custom tailored it's platform in order to make the Ronald McDonald House's wish list more accessible and interactive, by creating a digital wish list.

Jifiti is a gifting platform that allows individuals to discover, share, and purchase gifts while browsing through stores they love. Individuals are able to buy items or chip in with a single click on the Jifiti.com website or mobile application, and within minutes, the recipients receive a purchase notification which is used to redeem the gifted item in-store or online.

Individuals looking to donate in-kind items to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio can donate at www.jifiti.com/rmhc.

About Jifiti

A TechColumbus incubator startup, Jifiti's mobile gifting application eliminates the most basic anxieties of gift giving: what exactly to give, and how to find the time to get it to the recipient. Its secret: combining the everyday in-store shopping experience with mobile online convenience.

Jifiti's mobile app allows shoppers to scan and purchase an item in a store and instantly send it in a digital form to a friend's phone to be redeemed in any of the store's locations in the U.S. When redeeming the gift, the 'giftee' has the full flexibility to select the exact size, color and style desired--assuring the 'gifter' that the gift is precisely what the recipient wants. As a result, Jifit could soon render the concept of re-gifting obsolete.

Shoppers also can use the Jifiti app to create a "wish list" by scanning desired items in the store and e-mailing or texting them to friends and family members who might want to buy or chip in on the item. Once an item has been purchased, the app will immediately "teleport" the digital gift card it right back to the shopper's phone to be redeemed on the spot.
