In a world full of choice and customization, traditional gift cards to employees and clients often fall flat. While the gesture is well-intentioned, these cards come with a host of challenges that can make them feel less like a thoughtful gift and more like a missed opportunity. Here's why:
Guessing Games:
When you offer a gift card, you're essentially playing a guessing game about the brands or services your employees and clients might like. The danger? You might miss the mark, leaving the card unused or less appreciated.
Pay Now, Regardless:
With traditional gift cards, you're on the hook for the full value the moment you purchase it, even if the card goes unused.

Is It Being Used?
Once you give a gift card, there’s no feedback loop. It enters a black hole where you'll never know if it brought a smile to your employee's face or if it's just collecting dust in a drawer.

Lack of Personalization:
Standard gift cards lack a personal touch. They're often generic, devoid of any design or message that could make your employee feel genuinely valued.
The Extra To-Do:
Want to give a gift card? Prepare for a shopping expedition to get your hands on one. It's an added chore, especially during busy seasons.
Vanishing Value:
Studies indicate up to 46% of gift cards go unused. They're easily misplaced, forgotten, or the brand may not resonate with the recipient's needs or tastes.
Hidden Costs:
Some gift cards come with maintenance fees or expiration dates, gradually chipping away at their value if they're not used quickly.
Lack of Flexibility:
Once you've chosen a brand for the gift card, there's no going back. The recipient is stuck with that choice, whether it aligns with their preferences or not.
