Overview
Back to topThe projected market, of the last year’s trends, expects that in 2024 gift card sales will hit an income of 698 billion dollars to companies all over the world.
It’s a staggering amount of money, yet we are not surprised. Who wouldn’t prefer a gift card to an item purchased carelessly by someone who maybe doesn’t even really know what you would like to receive on your birthday or at Christmas?
Gift cards are also appreciated by people buying them. What a waste of time looking for the right gift risking to buy something they might not like or that could be of the wrong size or color!
A Christmas gift for a friend, a present for a relative’s birthday, or a Christmas bonus for employees: a gift card is always the best choice. For that reason, all the biggest e-commerce shops offer their customers the possibility to purchase gift cards.
By offering your users the possibility to purchase a gift card to spend on your shop, you will be able to gain new customers (the person receiving the gift card will know about your products, will place an order, and will be encouraged to buy again so you can loyalize him/her) and considerably increase your earnings.
What this module does for you
1. Improved customer experience
Firstly, give consumers what they are looking for in terms of digital gift card solutions, which enable them to order easily online, as well as redeem digitally. Next, delight them with an effortless customer journey including the option to add personalization via a message. Then sprinkle on top some ‘timed delivery’ where customers select the date. There are going to be some happy customers at the end of this experience.
2. Increasing sales channels
Another great benefit of gift card solutions is the opening of a new sales channel. This will generate a new revenue stream as customers come to buy core products but also make additional purchases on digital gift cards for their family, friends,, and colleagues. More money for retailers, and more variety for consumers. Win-win!
3. New customer acquisition
Loyal customers of a retail, leisure or hospitality brand are likely to want to share their experience with their friends and family, which can be done with a gift card. The great thing is that once a new customer receives a gift card, 18% of them will go on to become loyal customers themselves. This creates a wonderful cycle of new customer acquisition through the medium of gift cards.
So for a small investment in a digital gift card solution, retailers are giving themselves a great source of lead generation and loyalty.
4. Extra revenue from up-spend
Another upside to a digital gift card solution for retailers is "up-spending. Customers usually tend to add more of their own money on top of the value of a gift card—on average, 67% of the gift card value, to be precise. All this will boost revenue for retailers.
Furthermore, there will always be cases where gift cards go unredeemed, so while most retailers or leisure operators would prefer the above-mentioned results (new loyal customers), there is value in gift cards that are never redeemed for a product or service.
5. Sustainability
The fifth key benefit to a retailer launching digital gift card solutions is sustainability. All businesses need to show how they are tackling sustainability, which is not always easy, particularly for smaller businesses. By using a digital gift card solution, retailers can run this aspect of their business without using paper or plastic, and without the need for physical gift cards.
