# Digital Gift Card Program for Small Business URL: https://loyaltymaster.com/digital-gift-cards/ Your digital gift card program, in your customer's wallet Sell a gift card at the counter and it goes straight into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — the same place as their bank card and their boarding pass. Nothing to print, nothing to lose, and no app to download. - In Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with no app to download - Designed and built for you, live in 48 business hours - Free, unlimited messages to the person holding it ## What is a digital gift card? It is a gift card that lives on a phone instead of in a wallet or a drawer. Your customer buys one for someone else, it saves into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and the person receiving it opens it the same way they open a boarding pass. Gift Card is one of the seven card types Loyaltymaster builds, and every plan includes all seven. ## Highlights - **No plastic, no printing**: Nothing to order, stock or reprint when the design changes. The card is built once and delivered to a phone. - **It cannot be left at home**: It sits beside the bank card and the boarding pass. The phone comes to the appointment whether or not anyone remembered the gift card. - **You can still reach them**: A printed gift card goes quiet the moment it leaves your counter. A wallet card lets you send a free message to whoever is holding it. ## Where does a gift card go once you have sold it? Into the phone of the person it was bought for. It saves into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet from a scan at your counter, so there is no app to download and nothing to keep hold of. A salon selling a cut-and-colour gift card hands over a code, and the card is on the recipient's phone before they have left the building. - Apple Wallet and Google Wallet - No app to download - Saved from a scan at your counter ## How do you reach the person holding it? You send a message and it lands on their lock screen. Push messages are free and unlimited, and there is no SMS bill — so a quiet Wednesday, a new treatment or a reminder that a balance is sitting unspent all cost you nothing to send. - Free and unlimited, on every plan - Straight to the lock screen - No SMS bill ## Who bought it, and who is holding it? Whoever saves the card joins your list. You get their name, phone number and birthday, and the list of everyone who joined is yours to keep and export. A gift card is often the first time a salon meets someone — this is what turns that one visit into a name you can contact again. - Their name - Their phone number - Their birthday ## What do you get when you launch? We design the card and build the program from your salon's name and your website or Facebook page — your logo, your colours. You get the card, a printable counter sign carrying the join code, and a dashboard on your phone. It is live in 48 business hours and the design is at no charge. - Your logo and colours, taken from your own site - A printable counter sign with the code - A dashboard on your phone ## Can you run gift cards alongside your loyalty card? Yes. Gift Card is one of seven card types — stamp, prepaid stamp, reward, cash back, membership, gift and coupon — and every plan includes all seven, plus 111 templates and a custom card builder. A salon can run a stamp card for regulars and a gift card for the people buying for them. - All seven card types on every plan - 111 templates and a custom card builder - One card program on the entry plan ## What a printed gift card costs you - **It gets lost, and you never hear about it**: A card in a drawer is money you have already been paid for and a visit you will never see. - **It is a print run, every time**: Card stock, a designer and a minimum order — before a single one is sold. - **It ends the conversation**: Once it leaves your counter you have no way to reach the person holding it. ## How it works, plainly 1. **Tell us your salon**: Give us your salon's name and your website or Facebook page; we take your logo and colours from there. 2. **Tell us what the card should do**: A gift card on its own, or alongside a stamp card for your regulars. We build the program around it — the design is at no charge. 3. **Live in 48 business hours**: You have your card, a printable counter sign, and a dashboard on your phone. ## Put your gift card in your customers' wallets Designed and built for you at no charge, live in 48 business hours. A counter sign with the code. Free, unlimited push messages to everyone holding one. We build every card. A person answers the phone. ## Questions about digital gift cards ### Getting started **How do you run a gift card program as a small business?** Two ways.

Or you can use a digital card that saves into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet from a scan at your counter. We design and build the digital kind for you, and it is live in 48 business hours. **Do my customers need to download an app?** No. The card saves straight into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet from a scan at your counter. **How long does it take to set up?** Your card is designed, built and live in 48 business hours. The design is at no charge. **Can I run a gift card and a loyalty card at the same time?** Yes. All seven card types — stamp, prepaid stamp, reward, cash back, membership, gift and coupon — are included in every plan. The entry plan runs one card program; Growth runs three and Enterprise runs ten.
