| Everywhere you turn you see gift cards for sale and people using them. Paper certificates are becoming a thing of the past.
Why? It's because they're convenient for the client. A gift card is easy to store in a wallet instead of saving a certificate somewhere. Every time your clients open their wallets, they are reminded of the spa and salon by your beautifully designed card. Our designers work with yours for just the right presentation. Combine the gift card with a gift set of products, or design a sophisticated cardholder with matching envelope. It's clever and it doesn't need to be paper to be beautiful.
You can easily issue gift cards in just seconds, not minutes… and in any dollar denomination. It is integrated with VS&S Point of Sale so you can purchase or redeem a gift card without switching from one type of transaction to another. It's all on the same ticket. Virtual Gift Cards track the employee who issued the card, the dollar amount, the store location, and the date and time. It tracks the redemption transactions and the location of the redemption. Statistical reporting is available for it all.
Clients love it because it's quick and convenient. It's a great way for spas and salons to capture mind share and draw in new business. When the full amount is not redeemed, you don't have to give cash back. The card can simply be rewritten and the remaining balance stays on the card. What a great incentive for the client to return in the future and spend even more. And since the cards can be recharged many times, the client can keep putting money back on the card. You see Virtual Gift Card reads and writes to the magnetic stripe on the back of the card and remains on your network with three levels of encryption for your protection.
And the best news, there is no transaction fee. Banks charge a transaction for every swipe and statistics say that each card is swiped 4.5 times on average. If you sell a lot of gift cards, this is your ROI. If you don't, you can start at a lower cost and enjoy the increased sales from new clients.
Print a different color and use as a promotional card for your best clients, the press, the staff and anyone you want to reward with a gift. Use the software to send a mystery card to a certain zip code for five to fifty dollars as an example. In a sleeve of 1000 cards, only a few have a fifty-dollar value and the amounts are randomly assigned for your safety. A great way to bring new clients to the spa and salon
