No matter what the occasion, you can’t go wrong with a gift card. Whether you’re wanting to thank your employees for securing a great sale, or you want to celebrate clients who you’ve partnered with, or there are some loyal customers who deserve a little extra…having a gift card gives them something they can really enjoy. Being able to personalize the card for the individual is what makes gift cards so much more impactful; choosing a service or product that you know means something to the person will increase the chances of sales, a successful relationship and positive feedback.
The gift card market is huge and will only continue to grow especially as brands move further into the online space. 48.5% of retailers accept gift cards, and 46% of consumers bought a gift card online. This means that there is a huge amount of potential for giving those closest to your brand something that positively impacts their life.
Using gift cards within your business will mean that you can brand them, put them in employee gift bags and hand them out as bonuses and incentives. Personalizing the cards even further with a message will always win over any individual; employees, partners and customers want to be seen as humans dealing with humans. And what’s more human than a personalized note?
So here are our 3 Tips for a perfect gift card to win over colleagues, clients and customers:
It might sound simple – and you can check out our design articles to see how simple it isn’t – but the design of your gift card matters.
