GIFT CARD PROJECTION

5, Country, Priority, UNITED KINGDOMBy Robert McKinley 12/12/2007

Growth in the popularity of gift cards in the United States is expected
to soon duplicate around the world. The emerging gift card markets
around the world, along with the maturing North American market, is due
to a number of factors. Among these factors are the range of different
businesses that benefit from card production, including printers,
plastics decorators and card manufacturers. Additional advantages to
companies introducing gift card programs include a low capital
investment needed and improving capability of meeting market demand for
flexibility. For the 2005 holiday season, 76% of adults had purchased an
average of 4.7 gift cards valued at US$38+, reflecting the
aforementioned popularity across North America. Furthermore, for every
US$1.00 gift card value, retailers see an average upsale of between
US$1.20 – $3.00. With modest investment in additional equipment,
retailers around the world are now realizing these advantages and are
seizing the conditions in their respective markets.
