Quick Service: Gift Cards

 

The electronic gift card concept is quickly becoming the medium of choice for retailers across the country. Among the significant reasons are: No cash back (value remaining after partial redemption stays on the card, ensuring additional opportunities to solidify the customer relationship or retain funds) and real time data capture (virtually eliminates both the losses associated with paper gift certificates and costly tracking and accounting). Gift card transactions are processed in real time and may be used immediately after activation.

 

Electronic gift cards are convenient (carried in wallet with other plastics), secure (cannot be photocopied) and as a branded "billboard in a wallet" establishes the merchant as the destination. With Focus Gift Cards, a merchant will gain more name recognition and exposure in the marketplace, further widening its existing customer base.
