"Typically, a corporate buyer of gift cards has difficulty finding where they can buy gift cards in bulk. Even when they do find a source, they usually must repeat the search process for a different merchant gift card," said Eric Strautman, iCARD's marketing and communications manager. "Also, some providers require minimums that are prohibitively large for small businesses."
iCARD offers more than 100 of its merchant cards for bulk orders and prices them in three categories. Two of the categories offer a discount off of the face value. iCARD's minimum order level is just 50 cards per merchant and the order only has to total $1000.
"Bulk gift cards," said iCARD Founder Jeff Ehney, "are a nice complement to our other product lines, which includes reloadable and single-load prepaid Visa cards, and our iCARD Gift Card; an emailable and print-on-demand gift card that lets the recipient choose the gift cards from 150+ available merchants. We even offer an eco-friendly gift card that doesn't involve any paper or plastic whatsoever."
iCARD's innovative online platforms to support ordering, online merchandising, and fulfillment solutions for both corporations and entrepreneurs helps ensure the success of gift card programs in multiple industries.
