HOW YOU CAN PROFIT WITH GIFT CARDS

Gift Cards as an Advertisement (Advertise in your customers pocket!)
A cash-generating product that doubles as a miniature “billboard” in your customer’s wallet. Card balances decline as the card is used encouraging repeat visits and limiting cash refunds.

Loyalty & Membership Programs (Load Rewards Credits onto customers card)
Acquire customers and retain them, that’s the goal. Now you can automatically keep track of point balances and transaction activity for a multitude of rewards and incentive programs.

Merchandise Credits (Credit the Card Not the Customer)
Cards can be loaded with the exact value of a product return for store credit. Declining balance keeps cash in store by limiting refunds.
