A gift can make a big positive difference, whether in a private or professional setting, and helps build stronger bonds between us. But we have less time and less capacity than ever. That's why we created Glede We want to make it incredibly easy to give something nice.
When we develop Glede We always have three basic principles in mind.
Giving should be easy . We live in a busy world, and we want to give people the opportunity to give and express love without it becoming a stressful part of their everyday lives.
It should be easy to get useful value from the gift . A useful gift is a gift that is used. With Glede The recipient should get something they are guaranteed to want.
Ultimately, the gift should be enjoyable to both give and receive. We want to give you the opportunity to give a gift that will be remembered and that the recipient is sure to appreciate.
We met during our studies at NTNU and have backgrounds in computer technology, marine technology and entrepreneurship. The common denominator was that we all wanted to start a technology company with a positive impact in the world.
During and after our studies, we received gift cards from companies and noticed that the gift card industry has not kept up with the technological development in recent years. It was simply incredibly awkward to use the gift cards we received. Surely others must have felt this too, we thought?
And yes, it was true. We spoke to dozens of gift card recipients, and the consensus was unanimous. Gift cards were not easy to use, and they were often forgotten. When we spoke to corporate gift card donors, we got the same feeling. Ordering with Excel lists, mailings by post and no insight into whether the gift cards they gave were actually used.
So we decided to create a gift card service that puts technology and user experience at the center. And that helps spread a little more glede in the world!
