Client Services Updates

Selling Gift Cards Online

Make sure your catalog has everything they want! Add a gift card to your online catalog to capture the sale for anyone searching for a gift for their favorite cyclist. We have a few different versions, import one from our library and edit to include your store's gift card image. Be sure to add a Balance on Hand (BOH) quantity so they display as in stock! Whether you use click and collect or are shipping your gift cards, it's a great boost to online sales. And research shows that the typical gift card recipient spends more than the amount of their gift card, so it can be a boost to sales in January, too!
