Best practices

Here are some best practices to assist in running your Gift+Rewards program

1. To help reinforce the convenience of gift cards, place your plastic card and carrier designs on one centrally located, highly visible, easily accessible and well-organized display.
2. To help minimize gift card fraud, ensure that gift cards on display are deactivated and not pre-loaded with funds. Load gift cards only after you’ve received the approved purchase funds.
3. Remember gift cards are products with a seasonal demand pattern – plan your promotions and gift design accordingly.
4. Include gift cards in employee training materials. Employees should:
   a. Understand the benefits of gift cards for customers (e.g., they are convenient for the buyer and receiver, they allow recipients to choose what they want, and people like to receive gift cards).
   b. Understand your gift card offerings (e.g. whether or not the cards are reloadable, min/max load values, available card denominations, where the cards are displayed in the store, the fact that the cards carry no stored value until activated, etc.).
