Instant Gift Card System-Increase your revenues instantly

Posted by on December 10, 2010 · 21 Comments 

As a business have you ever thought of generating revenues from a place where your business does not exist? Sounds a bit weird, correct ? But it is not actually that insane. Stores and brands always try to achieve this by selling their gift cards online, in grocery stores, pharmacy, gas stations etc. Win for the customer who does not have time to go buy the gift and win for the brand as they get someone to pre-pay for their product or service without being physically present at a POP (point of purchase). The picture below shows a typical process of how a gift card reaches its final user. We have a buyer and good friend Andy who buys the gift-card  –

Imagine a system that will enable Andy to send gift card instantly to his friend either from his home or office, all he needs is a device with internet connection. This device could be a mobile phone or a notebook or could even be a computer.

Look at process below that shows gift-card buying process via Green Commerce Inc’s Instant gift-card system.

    Fantastic idea..do you have any idea how many plastic gift cards have been lost or misplaced in my household. Just one question, how do they handle the case where you don’t spend it all the first time out?

    • http://www.meetusinghal.com/ Meetu Singhal

      Excellent question Donna! The answer is — When some one redeems the partial gift card , for example – I have a gift card for $25 and I redeemed only $15 out of it. With in few minutes of $15 transaction a new gift card worth $10 ( the balance amount ) is sent as text on the same mobile phone. Hence, this gift card becomes the valid card and the old one is archived.
      Another scenario could be what if you delete the gift card text by mistake from your mobile phone. First off you get an email that has details on how to request for the gift card text on your mobile phone again. We also send reminders once in 15 days or 3 weeks to the beneficiary to redeem his/her gift card.
      Let me know if you have more question.
      Thanks for looking in to it!

    This is great Meetu! I checked the website and are there just 4 gift cards (merchants) that one can buy from now? I am thinking about merchants in my area that would benefit from this. Thanks.

        Meetu, so there is no minimum purchase for a vendor to set up an account? If that is true everyone should set up an account.

      • http://terrycrosbyblog.com/ Terry Crosby

        One of my clients will be launching an appreciation campaign at the first of the year. The local businesses will be showing the appreciation to the college (approx 1700 students). We are purchasing wrist bands that will have the website they need to check for the deal of the day. I am thinking this product would be helpful. hmmm mind is spinning

      • http://www.meetusinghal.com/ Meetu Singhal

        Sure! let’s talk! at the moment as you no we have waived off the set-up fee ( OUR WAY OF GIVING / PAYING IT FORWARD )

      • http://www.meetusinghal.com/ Meetu Singhal

        No minimum purchase. Infact the business has to pay only 2 fees. One is paymentgateway that is paypal that is around 3% of total transaction . The second is for text message exchange which costs less if there are more text messages so lets say 20 cents per text if there are more than 500 messages and 30 cents is there are less than 500 messages in a month. I just gave you an example to understand. I cost could be lower as well.
