Gift Cards: The Perfect Gift for All Occasions

With the holidays upon us, many people will be giving gift cards this year rather than actual gifts. In a poll by First Data® in 2005, 92% of the people they polled were aware of gift cards and 59% either gave or received one that year. Also, on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being extremely satisfied), of the 59% that gave or received a gift card, they rated their overall satisfaction of gift cards at a 9! Remember, those statistics are from back in 2005. They have increased since then.

Actually, here are some other amazing statistics I found when searching for gift cards.

1. 90% of consumers purchased or received a gift card.

2. 60% of consumers both purchased and recieved a gift card.

3. 68% of gift card purchasers bought a card as a birthday gift.

4. 61% of gift card purchasers bought a card as a Christmas gift.

5. 88% if gift card purchasers bought more than one card.

*Information collected from FirstData.

This data is being given as a way to show that gift cards are really becoming the best gift to give. Think about it…how many times have you been out shopping for someone on their birthday or Christmas only to find that you have absolutely no idea what the person wants. You know that their favorite store is Coach but you don’t know their taste. Now you don’t have to! Just simply give a gift card and all problems are solved! If you aren’t sure of where to go to get a gift card, we can help you with that also.
