Social gift “Sumahiki”
geeva Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Mashiki Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, Representative Director: Hirofumi Ogawa) is an online gift shop called hikica (hereinafter referred to as “Hikika”).
On July 31, 2024, we launched the social gift “Sumahiki” service, which allows you to automatically send “Hikika” via LINE or email/message (SMS).

Background of product development
It was common sense to give gifts on the day of the wedding, but recently it has become common to simply place an information card on the table on the day of the wedding and have the gifts delivered later. Common sense is beginning to change that it is necessary to give gifts to the bride and groom on the day of the wedding.
“Fashion delivery” also has its disadvantages, as they are sent all at once after the wedding ceremony, so guests may not be home to receive them, or guests may not be able to choose which sweets or lucky charms to bring.
Online gift hikica++
“Online gifts hikica” (hereinafter referred to as
Hikika) overcomes the shortcomings of “gift delivery” by allowing guests to freely select gifts, sweets, and lucky charms by scanning the QR code displayed on the card with their smartphones, as well as specifying where to receive them.

In June 2024, we further evolved Hikika and released the PNG type, which only sells QR code data, with the intention of printing QR codes directly on paper items.

On the other hand, there have been multiple cases where the bride creates digital content using Canva etc. without printing the data and sends it to each guest on LINE after the wedding ceremony, which may result in unintended needs of the bride and groom. It turns out. In response to this, we developed “Sumahiki” as a new way to give gifts that can be sent via LINE, message, email, etc.
□ Changes in gifts and needs
The history of gifts being commonly used at weddings is surprisingly short, only a few decades ago, but a generation ago gifts were “sea bream with tail head” and “sekihan.”
In the first place, gifts are more like Valentine’s day chocolates than traditional Japanese culture, and wedding halls have brought up past customs and diversified their products to increase sales in order to increase unit prices.
In today’s wedding halls, the number of products handled has increased due to this trend, and in most cases, the bride and groom are simply handed a pile of product catalogs to the bride and groom without making specific product proposals. There was no evolution.
Japanese culture and etiquette, such as giving a half-return in return for congratulatory gifts, are important, but from the above
background, there is no need to be particular about the method of gift giving, and we want to pursue a form that is more suitable for the times, so geeva Co., Ltd. We would like to create a new way to give gifts by giving them after the wedding instead of preparing them before the wedding.
There are many other benefits to gifting a “Sumahiki” after the wedding ceremony.
1. You can avoid gaps in the budget for presents and gifts.
By giving the gift after receiving the gift, you won’t be rude to your guests by giving them a small gift for the gift they received, and you won’t give away too much.
It is important to balance the price of the gift and the gift. It’s easy because you can choose from your smartphone!
2. Guests can easily use it on their smartphones.
Guests can go home empty-handed and can easily apply for gifts, sweets, and lucky charms at any time using their smartphones. 3. Preparing for the wedding takes less time
There is no need for gift bags, so there is no need for unnecessary costs, and busy brides and grooms don’t have to worry about
registering their address or consulting about gift distribution. The month before the wedding is full of dates…
Just choose one and register the guest’s name and address.
4. No restrictions on wedding venues!
Since the handling of gifts is no longer related to the wedding venue, there is no charge for bringing in gifts, and since the contract with the wedding venue lasts until the day of the wedding, gifts after the ceremony are not even allowed to be brought in.
In addition, the selection of products is not limited to the wedding venue, so the bride, groom, and guests can freely choose gifts. □ Avoid the wedding hall’s carry-on block*
Sales of the card-type Hikika have steadily increased since its release, but as its popularity has increased, the number of “bring-in blocks” at wedding halls has also become more intense, using various methods.
Even if the gift is a card or place card, do you still charge a corkage fee? Our investigation revealed that brides and grooms with such questions are creating their own content using hikica++PNG type QR codes and sending it on SNS such as LINE.
We are developing “Sumahiki” in order to alleviate the efforts of these two tearful people as much as possible.
“Sumahiki” sends 3 gifts as social gifts via LINE, SMS, or email, so you don’t have to bring anything to the wedding venue! Furthermore, since it is given after the wedding ceremony, it is different from the concept of a gift when viewed as a family gift, which makes
negotiations much easier.
*If you negotiate before signing the contract, you may be able to transfer the discount to other products, so we strongly recommend this, but there is still room even after signing the contract, so don’t give up and try again.
□ Product introduction
・Send 3 gifts with one click!
You can send gifts, sweets, and lucky charms on LINE from your smartphone with just one click. Furthermore, if you set it to automatic sending, you can send the gift via email or SMS even during the wedding ceremony.
With SMS that has a high delivery rate, you don’t have to worry about it being sent as spam and not being delivered.
・Easy to prepare presents and no need for gift bags.
You don’t have to divide the gifts in detail or prepare gift bags. Preparation is easy by just registering the guest’s name and sending method. Since you are freed from entering addresses, you can make better use of your busy time.
・With sending management, you won’t miss any gifts!
You can manage your guest’s sending status on the MY GIFT page and check for any omissions.
Also, if you are worried about emails not being delivered due to spam, you can also set up SMS using your mobile number at the same time, so you don’t have to worry.
In the unlikely event that a guest loses track of the message that was sent, they can resend it individually via LINE from their smartphone later.
□ There are two ways to give gifts to guests.
[Send via LINE after the ceremony]
– * Gently send gifts to guests *
After the ceremony, we will send a message to each person via LINE. There is no limit to the number of characters, so you can include your wedding photo or use LINE’s features to send a polite social gift. – *You can also include wedding photos and messages*
By sending photos and messages taken at the wedding, you can deeply convey your memories with your guests and express your gratitude with the gift.
– * You can choose a course according to the amount of your gift! * If you send the gift after receiving the amount of the gift, even if you receive more gifts than you expected, you can choose the course of the gift that is commensurate with the gift, so there is no need to be rude!
Even when you realize that it wasn’t as bad as you expected, you won’t feel anxious and will feel refreshed after the wedding.
[Automatically set and send via email/SMS]
– * Automatically sent on the wedding day *
It can be automatically delivered at a specified time on the wedding day. Please use it at a suitable time, such as when changing your color or after the wedding ceremony.
– * We recommend using email and SMS together *
When setting up automatic sending, we recommend that you enter both email and SMS if possible.
Since you can only enter 70 characters with SMS, it tends to be easier to say hello. On the other hand, there are cases where users are not aware of spam mail even if it reaches them, so we recommend using both together.
