What is a Gift Card?

Gift Cards are the preferred gift for millions of people. They offer the flexibility and convenience that consumers want today. The gift giver can choose a denomination, purchase the Gift Card and give directly to the recipient. The recipient is able to use the Gift Card to purchase exactly what they want! No more gifts that are the wrong size, wrong color, or just plain wrong!

A Gift Card (also called a stored value card) is “loaded” with a specific dollar amount and is used as a payment option for future purchases. Since cards are generally given to others as a gift, gift cards increase the businesses customer base. Businesses may decide to set pre-determined dollar amounts or allow consumers to select the amount of their choice when purchasing. The plastic card can display a customized design with a business’ logo or be a standard pre-designed card. The dollar amount is loaded using a terminal, POS software system or Internet virtual terminal. The card is swiped through POS or terminal and value added or subtracted from the card balance. Receipts print and are handed back to the customer with card. All money is collected at the store at the time of sale. The program simply keeps track of balances on the card and can be set-up to reward your customers for repeat business. Gift cards have replaced labor intensive paper gift certificates in many businesses.

What is a Loyalty Card?

Like Gift Cards, Loyalty Cards are plastic cards with a magnetic strip that can track customer visits and dollars spent in the store. These types of programs help promote brand awareness and loyal business. We can offer several types of programs including rewards cards, frequent diner, preferred guest and many more. Our program uses pre-determined levels of rewards that the merchant can set up-front. After the consumer hits the levels the rewards are automatically put on the card on the next business day. Accumulated dollars are then redeemed for free items, discounts and dollar off coupons or special offers.
