What Are the Benefits of a Gift Card Program?

Gift card programs are shown to have a high return on investment (ROI) and increase revenue for a few key reasons, including:

• Boost your brand: Offering gift cards is a means of promoting your company’s brand, and it can even bring in new customers. Those who purchase gift cards are likely to give them to family and friends, meaning they are marketing your business and sending new customers your way. Even better, they are paying you for the opportunity to do so!
• Retailers get paid upfront: Gift cards enable retailers to get paid upfront regardless of whether the card’s recipient ever chooses to redeem its value. This means your business is profiting even if that card sits unused.
• Increase revenue: Did you know customers are more likely to spend the entire amount of money on a gift card than all the expendable cash they have on them? That is because while spare cash could be used elsewhere, your gift card can only be used at your store. This provides an incentive to spend more.
• Customer convenience: Gift cards are often more convenient methods of payment, especially where cannabis remains a cash-only market. Since many consumers do not carry cash anymore, a gift card makes the buying process easier for them.

What are the benefits of adopting a gift card program?

Gift card programs offer customers easy solutions for payments. Gift card programs can also play a pivotal role in branding and marketing. Promotional material displayed online and/or in the dispensary increases brand visibility. Gift cards can be effective in attracting new customers and offering existing customers another option for facilitating purchases. Most customers exceed the amount on the gift card during a shopping event and end up spending additional cash on purchases, so dispensaries can increase the dollar amount of every potential gift card sale. The dispensary will receive the funds immediately when the card is purchased, even if the customer uses the gift card at a later date.

Gift card programs increase ROI and revenue. Gift cards are an effective way to increase traffic into your dispensary. You can track gift card sales for insights into purchasing trends. For example, if you run a customer birthday gift card program, you can analyze the sales generated in this specific category and determine ways to optimize future gift card sales.
