“Digital gift cards can serve as a convenient option that checks all the pandemic-proof boxes this year.”

Contactless Online Gifting Checks All the Boxes

The term “contactless’ has been widely adopted way back in the RFID and NFC days, especially as payment technology term. Forbes says it this way: “‘…contactless’ is the retail industry’s new safe word”. Completely related, COVID-19 restrictions force us to limit physical contact everywhere. Many business scenarios benefit when contactless solutions are applied. These include compensation, appeasement, incentives, rewards, recognition, sales contests and marketing promotions. For those reasons, the strategic imperative of ‘contactless’ clearly checks every box.

And, gift cards are the best contactless gifting solution of all!

  • Digital gift cards sent by text, email or postal mail require no physical contact upon receipt
  • Spending digital gift cards generates efficient and profitable sales for retailers with no returns
  • Consumers avoid being exposed to germs (and spreading them) by shopping at home instead
  • There is absolutely no compromise to the gifting experience. It is delightful, personalized, warm.
