It’s here! We are thrilled to launch Shopping Centre Gift Card officially.

“So what?” you might ask. Gift cards aren’t a new concept; neither are cards dedicated to specific shopping centres.

We’re a little different.

Shopping Centre Gift Card is a white-labelled gift card solution for shopping centres and retail parks in the UK. Our mission is to provide a sustainable, accessible, and affordable gift card platform that is open to all shopping centres.

What’s different about Shopping Centre Gift Card?

The key points that make us different and translate into benefits for your centre include:

• Low cost – if you haven’t had a gift card programme before or you’re looking to move your programme, the set-up fees and process are straightforward and affordable.

• No capital expenditure – there is no specialist hardware required for our Shopping Centre Gift Card. In fact, you can even opt for online only if that suits you better.

• Flexible approach – it’s not a one size fits all programme. What works for you might not work for another shopping centre. Pick and mix what works – we can even give you the benefit of our expertise if you’re starting a programme from scratch.

• 24/7 UK-based support – if you ever have a problem or query, the team are there to support you all day, every day, 365 days a year.

• Market Expertise – Shopping Centre Gift Card was created by retail and gift card industry experts. With decades of experience, we know what is important and collaborate with centres to understand your goals and objectives. We share our knowledge and expertise of the gift card market to help inform our decisions.

• A truly sustainable solution – the cards we use, even when they are branded with your centre details, are 100% environmentally friendly. They are totally plastic-free and can be easily recycled at the end of life. They’re even manufactured sustainably using biomass fuels at a carbon-negative plant.

Why have a Gift Card Programme?

In case you aren’t convinced about having a gift card programme, they bring a range of benefits to your shopping centre, not least helping drive footfall through your doors and increasing revenue.

One of the key advantages of a gift card programme that can be used in the range of stores across your shopping centre is that shoppers are more likely to spend more time and money there. This will likely translate into increased revenue for you and your retailers.

Plus, the gift card programme can attract new customers who may not have visited the centre otherwise. Or you can pull back customers who haven’t visited your centre in a while and seen what you have to offer.

What else is good about Shopping Centre Gift Card?

Another factor we love about the new Shopping Centre Gift Card programme is that it helps support local businesses. Many shopping centres, especially some of the smaller urban centres, include a variety of independent retailers. By promoting a gift card to shop with these stores, your centre can help support their growth and success.

And, of course, we all know the value of supporting local businesses and helping our town centres to thrive. This feeds into our sense of community and creates loyalty among shoppers who also value supporting local businesses.

A dedicated Shopping Centre Gift Card offers greater convenience and flexibility for shoppers. Of course, they make fantastic gifts for those tricky to buy for recipients, and they will help your centre remain competitive in a rapidly evolving retail landscape.
