Boost your bottom line with QuickBooks Point of Sale Gift Card Service
QuickBooks Point of Sale Gift Card Service can help you increase your sales and profitability.| Our Advantages | How You Benefit |
| More repeat business | Unlike gift certificates, where you give cash back on unused amounts, unused value stays on the gift card and must be spent at your store. Plus, a gift card reminds the holder to visit your store every time they open their wallet. |
| Increased store traffic | Because the recipient of the gift card is often a different person than the one who buys it, selling gift cards can help bring new customers into your store. |
| Increased cash flow | The "lag time" between purchase and redemption of gift cards helps increase the amount of cash available to your business. And when customers redeem gift cards, more than 60% of them spend more than the face value of the card.1 |
| Popular with shoppers | Gift cards are now a quickly growing "impulse buy" for consumers. In 2004, almost two-thirds of national shoppers said that they intended to buy gift cards. Your customers will appreciate the convenience gift cards offer.1 |
| Time savings | With gift cards, there are none of the time-consuming manual processes involved with traditional paper gift certificates, such as writing out the certificate and getting an authorized signature. Plus, if you have a card reader, you just ring up the sale and swipe the card for a fast transaction. |
| Use gift cards for in-store credit | Instead of refunding returns in cash, use gift cards as in-store credit. |
| Competitive edge | Gift card holders are motivated to visit retailers where they have a gift card with an outstanding balance instead of a competitor. And offering gift cards gives you a valuable tool for competing with major retailers. |
| More accurate record keeping | With QuickBooks POS gift card services, you can process gift card transactions easily, reducing manual data entry and the chance for errors. Sales are tracked automatically! |
| Security | Unlike paper gift certificates, gift cards are next to impossible to counterfeit. |
* It takes approximately 3-4 weeks from the date of artwork approval for your gift card order to ship. Between October and December, due to the high demand for the holiday season, not all orders may be expedited and delivery times may vary.
