We talk to many small business owners. Moving into e-commerce is a big step for most of them. It can be hard when you’re not sure of the technology. Gift cards can feel the same way.
How on earth will you track them and prevent theft or help if it’s lost?
As concerning as these things might be, it’s critical to the success of your business that you offer these items. After all, it’s how people like to shop.
Why You Need to Sell Gift Cards
There are several reasons why you need to consider a gift card program:
- They’re an easy gift, one size fits all
- You receive the money now for materials or services later
- e-gift cards can be sent at the last minute
- Your recipient can’t have too many of them and gift cards are the most requested gift
- More people are buying them
The Easiest Way to Sell Gift Cards
The administration behind selling gift cards can feel overwhelming but there is an easier way. With a local currency program, you can offer the convenience of a gift card without shouldering the responsibility of the administration. Check with your local chamber of commerce or Main Street/downtown merchant’s association to see if they have a local currency program that you can become a part of. Otherwise, we can help.

With a local currency program, you don’t need to worry about handling the sales, reissue or marketing of the gift cards. You simply receive payment for what people spend. No headache or heartburn.
