Smilebox Launches New, Intuitive eCard Add-On for First-Ever Gmail Implementation
Easily customize and send animated ecards in Gmail for any occasion or everyday moment
TEL AVIV & NEW YORK – March 4, 2019 – Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: PERI) announced today that Smilebox, its consumer apps division that enables users to share their stories - through personalized online greeting cards, invitations, slideshows and more - has launched its new Smilebox for Gmail Add-On. This add-on is the first of its kind, enabling users to customize and send animated eCards to their family and friends directly from their Gmail accounts, without any extra steps or clicks.
This add-on sets up 2019 to be a breakthrough year for Smilebox. Having spent 2018 transitioning their product from a downloadable software to a web-based application, the mission of Smilebox in 2019 is to become a one-stop-shop for people to tell all their life’s stories from the invitations that start the story to the slideshows that help people remember them.
The Gmail add-on is a win/win, bringing convenience and fulfillment to the sender, and joy and recognition to the recipient.
Deborah Margalit, General Manager of Smilebox, commented, “Timing and being there in-the-moment is everything, so having an add-on that allows you to easily send customizable greetings cards—without ever needing to leave your Gmail — is an option that we have long worked towards, and we are thrilled that Gmail has accepted us into their ecosystem.”
