What Are the Benefits of Offering Gift Cards for a Small Business?

Customized gift cards for small business are a great way to increase sales and loyalty.

Long ago, large retailers recognized the many benefits of selling gift cards at their locations.

How Do Gift Cards Work?

A gift card is simply a physical representation of a dollar value stored in a database.

Every gift card includes a unique number in the form of a barcode, magnetic stripe, encoded chip, or even something as simple as a plain human readable number. It is that number which is activated, or “loaded”, with the proper dollar amount. This is done in the gift card transaction system database.
