Levain Bakery partners with Zest to streamline corporate and events gifting experience

06.07.2024

Zest, a leading corporate gifting platform for e-commerce brands, has announced its partnership with Levain Bakery, one of New York City’s most famous cookie bakeries. Through this collaboration, Zest will power Levain Bakery’s corporate gifting and events gifting channel, offering a seamless and hassle-free experience for businesses looking to send Levain’s iconic cookies as gifts.

Levain Bakery has been a New York institution since 1995. With the growing demand for its cookies as corporate gifts, Levain Bakery sought a solution to streamline its corporate gifting process and provide an exceptional experience for its customers. By partnering with Zest, Levain Bakery can now offer a fully branded, automated corporate gifting storefront that allows customers to send personalized cookie gifts to multiple recipients with just a few clicks.

“We are thrilled to partner with Levain Bakery and help them unlock the full potential of their corporate gifting channel,” says Alex Ingram, co-founder and chief executive officer of Zest. “Our white-labeled platform will enable Levain Bakery to provide a seamless and delightful gifting experience for their corporate customers while reducing the manual workload for their team. We look forward to supporting Levain Bakery's growth in the corporate gifting market.”

“As demand for our cookies as corporate gifts has grown, we knew we needed a solution that could scale with us while maintaining our commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience,” says Donna Magen, head of catering & corporate sales for Levain Bakery. “Zest’s platform allows us to offer a fully branded, easy-to-use corporate gifting storefront that aligns with our existing e-commerce experience. We’re excited to partner with Zest and provide our corporate customers with a seamless and memorable gifting experience.”

With Zest's platform, Levain Bakery’s corporate customers can enjoy features such as easy-to-shop storefronts dedicated to corporate gifts, a fast multi-ship bulk address uploader, flexible gift-delivery options and the ability to schedule gift deliveries ahead of time.

Zest already powers corporate gifting for over 50 notable brands, such as Milk Bar, Graza and Vosges Haut-Chocolat, and is seeing strong demand from the specialty foods industry.
