Customized Gift Cards

Synergy proudly offers customized gift cards for your business! Gift cards are a “Billboard in a Wallet” and replace paper gift certificates. They are convenient and easy to use. Synergy will help you design and implement a custom gift card program to increase sales, revenues and customer satisfaction. Gift cards are loaded through a terminal or Point of Sale System. Each gift card redemption is deducted from the customer’s pre-paid balance.

Traditional Gift Card Reporting

Merchants have access to a Merchant Portal where they can view gift card data such as: Gift Cards, Redemptions and Outstanding Liability. You will always be able to keep tabs on this important part of your business.

Special Gift Card Reporting

Synergy can track different gift card “Groups” based on the merchant marketing needs. Here are a few examples:

  • Promotional Gift Cards – Gift cards that are pre-loaded with $10.00, $15.00 or $20.00. These promo gift cards can be distributed to hotel concierges, or special VIP guests.
  • B2B Gift Cards – Gift cards that are used to pay for advertising, or printing or any other business expense for the establishment.
  • Fundraising Gift Cards – Non-profit organizations can raise money by selling the merchant’s gift cards. If members purchase the “Fundraising Gift Card,” 20% of the sale amount would be donated to the non-profit group.

Hybrid Gift Card

The customized gift cards can turn into a loyalty cards, which eliminates the need to print two separate cards. Once the gift card has a “$0.00” balance, the sales receipt will print: “Congratulations! You can now start earning rewards. 100 Points = $10.00 Reward.”
