Gift cards
are increasingly popular, especially around holiday season. From fashion
boutiques, supermarkets, Home Depot, Macy’s to hair salons, gift and loyalty
cards are offered in many businesses. Most retailers and chain stores have been
using and heavily promoting them for the past few years. In fact, the largest
selling single item for over 80% of the top 100 retailers in the United States
is their gift card.
Gift
cards are seen to be mutually beneficial to both customers and retailers. The
notion of products being offered at a certain discount when using a gift card gives
shoppers the incentive to provide their business to the store owner. That is if
the customers are satisfied with their purchases. It is practically a win-win
situation. Now is the time for you, the small to medium sized retailer and
independently owned restaurateur to grasp the opportunity and start your own
program. It will look and work exactly like the big guys program, except yours
will be designed with a price that you can surely afford.
