Gift Card Programs

Express Card can provide eftpos® based Gift Card programs and solutions that will grow your business, increase sales, and develop customer loyalty to your business and brand.

Bespoke Gift Card Programs

With an estimated annual expenditure of over $100 billion, the gift giving market in Australia is huge. And of that $100 billion market, retail gift cards outsell all other categories of goods.

That’s more than clothing, music, toys, or games. It’s not surprising that they are now known as the World’s Most Popular Gift. Rapidly increasing their share as a payment option, retail gift cards are increasingly being used as a replacement for traditional paper gift certificates. Consumers have taken to gift cards and as a result, the awareness and sales of gift cards have continued to grow rapidly.

Our gift card solutions are professional, secure, attractive, manufactured to a high standard, and well received, making these programs more effective than individual store sponsored paper based certificates.

Corporations have also adopted gift cards as an employee incentive, corporate gift, and promotional product. Express Card provides a turnkey gift card product to allow issuers to take advantage of this opportunity.
