Gift Cards Plus
Gift cards rank high on many gift lists, make great corporate and customer incentives, and can provide your business with a real return on investment. Gift card transactions provide a better sales experience for both you and your customers while increasing your profit margin and creating return customers. Think of gift cards as portable billboards for your business.
Attract new customers
Gift cards given by your customers to friends and family will bring new business to your company. And, almost one-half of all gift card customers make return visits to the store/retailer afterwards.
Increased customer spending
Sales of gift cards and vouchers in the U.K climbed more than 20% over last year with 8 of 10 recipients spending up to 50% more than the face value of the card. Customers can easily track their gift card balances at www.showmybalance.com.
Improve your bottom line
Get the prepayment advantage – a £50 gift card sale means £50 cash for your business today – with you delivering the products and services well after the payment is received. An average customer leaves 15% of the card’s value unredeemed, your business realises this revenue. You can also leverage the interest from unredeemed cards for additional profit. Theft and fraud losses are reduced as gift cards have a unique ID number and no value until they are activated.
