Garland Words Choose MPP’s Web and Mobile Solutions for Greetings Cards

Garland Words has selected MPP Global Solutions to create a combined online and mobile solution for the sale and delivery of greetings cards to mobile phones. The greetings cards can be purchased off a website using card payments or purchased directly from a mobile phone. The service also provides the personal touch – each card is delivered as if sent directly from the customer!

A strong requirement for Garland was the ability to sell the cards directly from a website as well as press advertising. The straightforward nature of the mobile sales process means that a single SMS message can define which card is required, who is going to receive that card, and also complete payment for that card. Darren Garland, Garland Words’ CEO, said: “MPP’s ability to provide a cross-platform solution that made buying a card as easy as possible from any location convinced me that they were the right choice”.
