Why use gift cards?
Gift cards are an ideal solution for retailers who are looking to generate extra sales this Christmas. They are great for situations such as shoppers who can’t decide what to buy, customers who are in a hurry or as an alternative when products are out of stock. There are many other benefits for retailers offering gift cards, including:
- Generate Revenue in Advance of Sales – the pre-paid gift cards help to improve cash flow as you collect the money before any goods are sold.
- Build Brand Awareness – branded gift cards act as a reminder of your business for customers carrying them.
- Bespoke Designs – you can create a single bespoke design or a range of bespoke designs for your gift cards so shoppers can choose the one that appeals most.
- Convenient for Customers – a card is easy to fit in your wallet or purse and is less likely to be damaged over time compared to a paper gift voucher.
- Use In Store and Online – the cards can be used for purchases via integrated eCommerce websites and Connect tills.
