Gift Cards Basics

Fewer businesses are using paper gift certificates and migrating to a gift card system. And it makes sense — gift cards prominently promote your business with your corporate logo and attractive graphics. Gift cards are also easy to track: you can find out what people are buying, how much they spend, and purchasing habits.

Customers purchase the gift card of their choice with a fixed value, or a dollar amount they select. They hand the cards out as gifts, and the recipient can then use the card's value whenever they want.

Gift cards are also valuable as loyalty cards. You can set up a gift card system where customers earn points or credits for each purchase and can use those points for exclusive discounts or future purchases. It's an expensive way to reward frequent customers and encourage others to return for more business.

Points to consider:

  • Are you looking for a complete card system, including tracking and processing capability, or just printed cards?
  • Approximately how many cards will you need (500 to 1,000, 1,000 to 2,000, etc?)
  • Will you need a card reader for your cards (magnetic stripe, bar code, etc?)
  • Do you have artwork you can provide for the cards?
  • How many colors would you like used to print your cards (full color - front and back, full color on the front and 1 to 3 colors on the back, 1 to 3 colors on front and back, etc?)
  • When would you like to start your new gift card program?
