Custom Gift Cards
Gift Cards For Your Business
Plastic gift cards can be a vital business tool. They are a popular product, providing a convenient way for customers to give gifts to friends and family without worrying about choosing the perfect item or guessing someone's size or preferences. Recipients usually spend more than the initial gift card value, which increases sales and revenue. Here's something even better: When someone receives a gift card from your business, they're not just getting a great gift, they're also getting a referral from a customer. There is nothing better than a customer standing behind your brand!

When recipients come in to redeem their card, most spend beyond the loaded value. On average, 20% of the funds loaded to a card are not used. Both are positives to your bottom line.

There is nothing better to increase sales than word of mouth and referrals. You do that by making yourself known to your community and increase your brand recognition.
Including a barcode on your gift card is part of a faster and more efficient checkout process, which improves the customer experience. It is also an identification feature that can help businesses track and manage the redemption of gift cards, keep track of the value of the cards in circulation and monitor their usage.
If you are unsure which barcode you need for your scanner, download our Barcode Test Sheet and follow the instructions.
