A brief discussion on the “physical” nature of your gift cards is due about now …

  • OscarPOS Cloud Gift Cards are “virtual” and tracked internally with a unique identifier
  • The majority if customers want something “physical” to hang onto or present to another person
  • Your physical Gift Card could be :
    • Printed plastic cards, professionally designed,  with your business logo prominently displayed.
    • Business Cards – Not as durable as plastic but at $99 for 500 who is going to argue too much 🙂
    • Beautifully designed gift certificate on quality card
  • What you use is not all that important. Uniquely identifying each Gift Card is. The unique Gift Card Number could be presented using :
    • Human readable number
    • Bar code
    • QR code
    • RFID
    • MSR

GIFT CARDS are a form of TENDER and unused Gift Cards are a liability to your business. For a bit of light reading on the security of your Gift Card when deploying a scheme, check out this Sophos article.
