TEL AVIV, Israel & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PERI&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$PERIlt;/agt; lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gmail?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Gmaillt;/agt;–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.”
