Plus, Benefits of Gift Cards, in General
Lift
- Consumers spend more than the balance of the card, generating incremental revenue - and no rebate was provided for these sales, meaning that the acquisition of this customer is actually less that the rebate
Shift
- Consumers don’t shop at the competition (even when it’s more convenient) because they have a balance on your card, which increases store traffic and your ability to influence their buying habits through in-store marketing initiatives
Frequency
- Gift cards encourage more visits per cardholder, which again increases store traffic and your ability to influence their buying habits through in-store marketing initiatives
Advocacy
- Referrals introduce new customers to your stores and brand from a credible reference
Float
- Unredeemed balances can be invested for a return
Breakage/Slippage
- Once expired (where applicable), unused balances are pure profit
And don't forget the secondary benefits...
- Improved cash flow
- Increased store/website traffic
- Keeps the money in your stores
- Creates great impulse buying opportunities
- Increases overall marketing opportunities
- Reduces accounting and administration costs
