Loyalty programs have been around for a very long time, but today, they’re everywhere. Our wallets are now packed with plastic and paper designed to get us some sort of discount from the stores and brands we love, and with good reason – loyalty cards work.

But gift cards aren’t just good for your customers, they’re also good for your business, and they can impact everything from customer satisfaction to the health of your bottom line.

Gift cards have only been around about 20 years. Before that, is was paper gift certificates and not many of them, as the giver preferred a more “personal touch,” meaning that actually going to the store and purchasing the gift was not only more labor-intensive but more “thoughtful.” As more establishments began offering gift cards, the variety was embraced by the general public and they took off fast and hard.

We, the public, have determined that gift cards are good, but of course the less scrupulous among us have found ways to defraud consumers and those same stores, restaurants, etcetera. BAMS can help you get set up to begin selling gift cards immediately.
