Everyone is looking for the next big technological and marketing breakthrough in payment processing and right now, gift and loyalty cards are it.

And as usual, UBC is on the cutting edge of this evolving new market.

Electronic Gift and Loyalty Cards were once exclusive to large chains and department stores but are now available to businesses of all sizes as a means of encouraging brand loyalty and receiving money in advance for gifts that will be selected later.

Anyone familiar with gift certificates knows the limitations of that system – when the customer cashes one in, if they don’t use the full amount, you have to spot them the difference. With gift cards, the balance stays on the card for the customer to possibly use at a later date.

Meanwhile, Loyalty Cards track and store customer data to be accessed via an online reporting system, helping you learn more about your customers’ likes and dislikes, buying tendencies and spending habits. Gift and Loyalty Cards also act as miniature billboards, improving brand awareness and reminding customers to return to your location every time the card is taken out.

Gift and Loyalty Cards are the fastest growing form of non-cash payment in North Americ, and United Bank Card offers a comprehensive Gift and Loyalty Card solution that can easily be added to your business.

INEXPENSIVE AND EASY TO USE!
United Bank Card carries 30 different Gift Card templates that can be loaded with dollar amounts you decide on. We also offer 4 Loyalty Card templates that will enable you to track customer purchases and offer rewards based on their spending. To support these options, UBC carries a variety of merchandising tools, including displays, card holders and posters, to promote your Gift and Loyalty Card selection to your customers. If you prefer to develop custom cards using artwork you provide, we can help you as well!

GIFT CARDS TAKE CONVENIENCE AND MARKETING TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
Gift and Loyalty Cards continue to increase in popularity and are excellent tools for improving customer satisfaction and increase repeat shopping. Research has shown that customers purchase between 25% and 500% more with Gift Cards than they do with paper certificates and Gift Card customers tend to spend more than the value of the card on purchases. Gift Cards can even be used as a substitute for cash when issuing refunds!

And if that wasn’t enough, Gift Cards that are unredeemed or allowed to expire generate 100% profit without a product even being sold!
