10 reasons to offer gift cards:

1. The gift card carries your brand with it as a personal recommendation from the buyer. It is very possible that the recipient will become a new customer of yours by visiting your store to "get their gift".
   
   
2. Don't limit your customers to physical products with thresholds such as geographical distance, delivery time and shipping cost. 
   
   
3. Pay now - buy later. The money is secured before the holidays while the gift recipient visits your store after the big shopping days with the chance of more sales during the off-season.
   
   
4. The chances are high that the recipient will buy for an order value higher than the gift card because the custom add-on is perceived as less money in the context.
   
   
5. Frequent repurchases. The risk of people returning their gifts and taking advantage of open sales after the holidays is high - with gift cards you minimise refunds from your store.
   
   
6. Gift cards are a secure card. If your customers find it difficult to choose a suitable gift from you, they may choose something else instead. If you offer gift cards, there is a much higher chance of sales.
   
   
7. You can offer gift cards as an alternative refund within the repurchase period and also to create goodwill for late return attempts.
   
   
8. Perfect last-minute gift - around the clock! 
   
   
9. Planet thanks you because gift cards more rarely lead to wrong purchases and returns.
   
   
10. Your customers are your best ambassadors, let them spread the word about your business!
