Here are Top 5 Reasons For a Business To Sell Gift Cards

1. Drive sales. Consumers spend nearly 50% more at businesses that sell gift cards.

2. Boost profits. 90% of consumers using a gift card spend above the value of the card.

3. Improve cash flow. When a customer purchases a gift card, you receive payment in advance of rendering products or services.

4. Keep cash in your business. Issuing a gift card instead of cash back for returns or refunds ensures the customer will spend the money at your business.

5. Increase traffic. For every one gift card sold, at least two customers visit your business (the purchaser and the recipient who may also bring a friend).
