Why is AGreatAffair.com registry better than a traditional gift registry?
#1. You are not limited by a single merchant’s selection or price, and you can register for experiences as well as “stuff”. With traditional registries, your registry selections are limited to the items in the stock of a particular merchant and your guests must pay the prices of the merchant you select. With AGreatAffair.com, you can register for anything – even items you can’t purchase in a store. How about a down payment for a new house, a dream vacation, golf lessons, or money to pay off school debt? Moreover, when you receive your cash gifts, you have the ability to shop around the best price on the items you want.
#2. You can register for big ticket items and experienced, which your guests can purchase in increments. People don’t usually register for big ticket items because they usually are too expensive for one person to buy. Also, generally traditional registries do not allow you to register for experiences – such as the perfect honeymoon or vacation or golf lessons. AGreatAffair.com allows you to break down the price of any gift item into smaller increments that your guests can purchase. For instance, if you want that $2000 big screen TV you’ve been eyeing? You can ask for 40 gift segments of $50 each, and your guests can purchase segments towards your TV. More expensive gifts easily can become a gift shared by several guests without any coordination required by your guests. We do it all for you!
#3. It is a tactful and elegant way to ask for cash and personalize the experience for your friends and family. Face it – most people would love to ask for cash when presented with a tactful way to do so. More than simply asking for cash, AGreatAffair.com helps make the experience an elegant and personal one by enabling your guests to gift towards specific gifts. For instance, it is much more personal to gift money towards your dream vacation, an expensive bottle of wine or school tuition than to simply hand you a check. By personalizing your registry, your guests can identify what they are gifting to you, making the whole process more meaningful for than simply giving you cash.
#4. The traditional registry process is time-consuming for both the user and the guest. Let’s face it – it’s unlikely that one store will have everything you want. With AGreatAffair.com you can register for everything you want while sitting in front of your computer, and your guests can purchase your gift just as easily! Moreover, you don’t have to be home to accept delivery of the gifts or deal with returns, saving valuable time as the big day approaches.
