This is a sneak preview of a campaign we are working on for Rafferty’s – a chain of 25 upscale casual restaurants in eight states. Gift cards are exploding in popularity, particularly during the holiday season.
 

Every gift card is found-money, from a sales perspective. In essence, your customer is selling for you.
 

Every gift card has the potential to bring in additional revenue (through larger orders) when redeemed.
 

Every gift card can generate new business from new customers, who in turn generate additional revenue long after the card has been redeemed.
 

Every gift card offers the opportunity to capture valuable customer information for future marketing efforts: both store-specific demographic data and unique personal preferences.

A gift card cuts through the clutter. It entices the doubtful. It’s a one-time gift… not a discount. It’s unique, it’s intrusive, it’s classy.

And based on our profit model, a $300,000 investment could yield a $1,000,000 return.
