“We’re delighted to be working with Whoopi as our partner. Whoopi is the essence of Flooz. She is funny, but smart; she’s got attitude, but is dignified; she’s on the edge, but is trustworthy and universally appealing,” said Robert Levitan, CEO and cofounder of Flooz.com and co-founder of iVillage.
The initial advertising consists of seven different TV spots. The 15- and 30-second spots, were directed by 1999 Emmy Award winner Ted Demme.

Consumers purchase Flooz with a credit card, and then send it as a gift by email to a friend, family member, business associate or someone you’ve just met. Recipients can spend their Flooz right away at the various Web stores or keep it in reserve in their personal Flooz account.
