In 2007, $60 billion in gift cards were purchased, amounting to 12% of gift sales during the holidays, according the retail industry sources that track this sort of thing. $26.3 billion worth of gift cards were sold in November and December 2007 alone.
How many did you sell? If you are interested in extending your personal touch in your organization while earning guaranteed revenue, then you might want to look to offer gift cards or in house debit card. Have a parent that can never be around when their child is in a facility, maybe offering that parent a card that they can pre-deposit a list of funds and see what is being purchased at a later date might be your answer.
