The magazine voucher
In 2011, the intan Group successfully launched another consumer product in the press distribution sector: the magazine voucher (Zeitschriften Gutschein, DZG). The publishers welcomed and supported the company’s initiative.The novel aspect of this product, with its ‘Wir bringen Menschen zum Lesen’ (We get people reading) slogan, is in the freedom of choice for customers. The recipients decide for themselves which magazine they want to read – from a choice of over 250 magazines and journals and 13 categories. Deliveries of the chosen magazine automatically stop once the credit on the voucher has run out. At no point is there any binding subscription. This voucher is the first universal voucher for magazines and is an excellent creative gift idea for family and friends.
BloomPost
BloomPost GmbH is located in Osnabrück and has become well established in the market since early 2015. The company sends customised floral gifts on behalf of its customers. The gifts are very simple to order online and can be shipped throughout Europe.The technology used in the patented packaging makes it possible for the bouquets to remain fresh in a vase for seven days after receipt – even if the shipping takes several days. This freshness guarantee relies on a special innovative film used in the packaging. The film has microscopically small holes, which serve to retain moisture and limit the amount of oxygen that reaches the flowers. This sophisticated technology enables the bouquets to survive for up to five days without water or refrigeration.
For BloomPost GmbH, it is very important to work with a selection of reliable growers of premium-quality flowers. One of the company’s main requirements is Fair Trade certification, which ensures that defined environmental and social standards are met. This sustainability is of utmost importance to the company. It is also one of the aspects – along with rapid, on-time delivery, simple ordering and a wide variety of payment options – that helps to ensure the highest possible levels of customer satisfaction.
BloomPost GmbH also offers handy flower subscriptions, which surprise recipients with regular bouquets of creatively arranged flowers.
