When the customer orders a gift card, it will arrive to the designated recipient in a card carrier with a personalized message. To create a more streamlined shopping experience, both the plastic gift cards and the e-cards will have a stored balance which means the customer will be able to use the card multiple times until the balance is zero. In addition, as an added benefit and convenience, there will be a “check balance” function on each participating brand’s website so customers can see how much value is left on their gift card to spend. The company is planning to actively market this new gift card program through a multi-channel launch including Web, marketing emails, service emails, print and call platform.
