| NEW ONLINE COMPANY DELIVERS CONVENIENCE Atlanta, GA: July 21, 2003 - A new online delivery service has set up shop in Atlanta; Midtown-based Zifty.com (www.zifty.com). Enjoy a relaxing night at home while watching a newly released DVD rental and dining on a gourmet dinner of your choice, from braised lamb shank to a Jamaican Jerk Burrito, or even some of Jake’s Chocolate Slap Yo’ Mamma Ice Cream. Everything is conveniently delivered right to your door. All you need is Internet access to place an order. The company was founded recently by 27-year old Todd Miller while working on his Computer Science PhD at Georgia Tech. Todd was fueled by a mission to make online delivery convenience a solid reality and design a company business model structured to overcome the flaws of it’s dot.com predecessors. “Starting with a vision and going through the process of actually making the concept a viable business has been a wonderful and challenging experience,” said Miller. The easy-to-use online service is officially open and ready to take the requests of savvy Atlantans to be delivered at the hour they select from 5pm until midnight (1am on weekends). You can schedule a delivery during the day for later that evening, or you can order during Zifty’s business hours for immediate delivery within an hour. Zifty’s team of drivers deliver entertainment items such as DVD rentals, PlayStation and X-Box game rentals, snacks, convenience store essentials and gourmet food from your favorite local restaurants. “The community has been very enthusiastic about the service and we’ve stocked a vast range of products that appeal to the needs of urban professionals, college students and busy families”, said Miller. Currently, just-prepared food favorites are offered on Zifty from several restaurants with many new deals in the works. Delivery to the door allows customers to enjoy the convenience and experience of a fresh prepared meal and entertainment in the cozy environment of their home. The biggest payoff is avoiding the hassles of driving in Atlanta traffic. Customers have the option of prepaying for their order by credit card online or paying in cash to their delivery driver. Movie rentals and games can be easily returned in a pre-stamped mailer that is included in the order, or if they prefer, they can return rentals with their next order. |
