SAN FRANCISCO – May 1, 2006 – Loyalty Lab, Inc., the leader in on-demand consumer loyalty and customer management, announced today that 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLWS), America’s “Florist of Choice” and a leading multi-channel retailer of thoughtful gifts for all occasions, has launched a major expansion of its customer retention and loyalty initiatives with Loyalty Lab’s on-demand Customer Relationship Manager Suite.

Just in time for springtime events and Mother’s Day, the expanded program, titled “Fresh Rewards,” will enable shoppers to earn “petals” for their purchases from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM’s website or toll free call center.

“We are in the business of building relationships with customers by providing just the right selection of gifts – from flowers and plants to gourmet foods, confections and gift baskets – that will bring a smile to everyone on their gift list,” said Monica Woo, SVP, Chief Marketing and Merchandising Officer of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM. “Fresh Rewards is a perfect way for us to say thank you to our most loyal customers.”

Loyalty Lab’s web-based, on-demand platform is hosting the infrastructure for the program, including shopper sign-ups, profile management, and transaction records. Loyalty Lab has hosted a Refer-A-Friend program for 1-800-FLOWERS.COM for the past year. To learn more about this exciting new program, visit www.1800flowers.com/freshrewards.
