Gift & Loyalty Cards

Gift cards have become one of the most popular gift ideas among consumers and have been dubbed "the most profitable square foot of selling space in the store" by merchants. Transcendent One, Inc, provides merchants with a strategic advantage over their competition by giving them additional payment flexibility of gift and loyalty cards.

Increase Sales

Consumers prefer the convenience and flexibility of cards over paper certificates. Additionally, customers generally spend more than the amount of the gift cards that are never utilized (lost or forgotten), which represent 100% profit to the merchant.

Eliminate Cash Back

Unlike traditional paper certificates, the balance on the card is automatically updated with each use. This process eliminates the need for merchants to provide a cash reimbursement to their customers for the remaining value of the card. Gift cards can also be reloaded with additional value, making them an ideal tool to promote repeat shopping.

Prevent Fraud

Gift cards offer superior security compared to paper certificates since they have no value until they are activated upon the sale. Lost or stolen cards that have not been loaded at the POS terminal have no value and gift cards cannot be duplicated or photocopied. Password protection can be implemented in the POS system to provide additional security.

Improve Record Keeping

Rather than manually recording the value of paper certificates, merchants will be able to issue and redeem gift cards electronically through their POS terminals. The merchant will also be able to track the cards that have been issued and view their card balances online.

Enhance Marketing

As a result of their marginal cost, merchants can use gift cards as promotional tools and give them away to boost customer traffic. Gift cards also serve as miniature billboards, promoting the merchant's brand and reminding the consumer of their products and services.
