Merchants who switch to gift cards from paper certificates increase sales by 100-1000%.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A great way to handle product returns for store credit instead of refunding cash.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Instead of refunding cash or dealing with a separate tracking system, issue gift cards for store-credit and keep those dollars.<\/p>\n

Gift cards build brand awareness and increase customer loyalty.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Gift cards are tiny billboards for your brand. When a customer has your gift card in their wallet, they’re almost guaranteed to make additional purchases.<\/p>\n

No cash refunds \u2013 as balance declines, full cash value must be used in store.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
