Unlock Holiday Cheer: Now Prepay's Ultimate Guide for Retailers

'Tis the season to be jolly as everyone is embracing the festive spirit. Retailers everywhere are gearing up for one of the busiest and most rewarding times of the year – the holiday season. Providing gift cards to your customers means that you will be gifting yourself increased revenue. Amid the hustle and bustle, customers will often leave gift buying to the last moment, and gift cards offer retailers a key opportunity to maximize holiday revenue, as they are the most frequent gift given over the holidays*.

Why are Gift Cards a Popular Choice for Gift Giving During the Holidays?

1. A Stress-Free Shopping Experience

   Let's face it – holiday shopping can be stressful. Customers frequently find themselves navigating bustling malls with lengthy lines trying to complete their shopping lists.
