Sesame, The Newly-Launched Mobile Gifting App For iPhone, Becomes An Online Store
Question: when does your mobile app also need a web experience? Answer: when the app is essentially an e-commerce shop. Sesame, the recently launched mobile gifting app from Sincerely, a company known for its mobile photo postcard and greeting card applications, is now web-friendly with the debut of the Sesame online store. Like its app-based counterpart, the web store will allow users to browse through the various gift boxes for sale, including the trio of new additions for Valentine’s Day, then purchase and send them without the need to install an app on their phone.
This is a slight change in direction for Sincerely, which has been a mobile-first company in the past. Although the Sincerely website does offer users access to their past orders, account info and address book, the process of designing cards, greetings or ordering other gifts was done on mobile, previously.
Sesame, for those unfamiliar, launched just before the holidays, allowing users to browse and send themed gift boxes from their iPhone. These boxes include unique, hand-picked items packaged nicely, and centered around a theme like “Cocktail Hour,” “Game Night,” “Puppy Picks,” and more.

There Goes Another Excuse for Not Sending a Gift
San Francisco-based startup Sincerely started out sending physical postcards to friends and family from your phone’s photos. Instead of picking up a tourist-shop postcard during your trip to London, you could snap a picture next to Big Ben with your phone and with one tap have the company send a card to your mail-loving parents.
Just in time for swamped holiday shoppers, Sincerely is taking that idea and applying it to gift giving with the launch of Sesame. The iOS app (an Android version is in the works) lets you choose from 13 curated gift sets, each designed to give your friend, mom, or co-worker a unique experience.

With 1.2M Members, Sincerely Goes Up Against Facebook With Gifting
Not fazed by Facebook’s high-profile launch of Gifts, Sincerely is barreling into mobile gifting too.
Best known for the postcard app Postagram, the startup has amassed a network of 1.2 million members who have sent cards to about 800,000 different addresses. That gives the startup a good base to start from with sending more lucrative physical goods like gifts.
“Gifting is a massive market,” said the company’s CEO Matt Brezina. “No company is going to own it all. Facebook’s brand doesn’t say, ‘Trust me with a credit card. Trust me with your mailing address.’ And it definitely doesn’t say, ‘We have excellent customer support.’ Our brand says all of those things. This is all we do.” -
