Federated Payments Canada Unveils Merchant Gift Card Program
on September 12th, 2011 at 4:33 pmFederated Payments Canada, a leading international provider of credit card processing and related merchant account services for independent business owners, announced today the launch of its gift card program to help Canadian merchants acquire new customers and increase their profits.
From large retail chain stores to local businesses, more and more merchants are offering gift cards as an option for their customers. Gift cards are a valuable tool which can be used to build awareness, increase revenue and profits, introduce new customers to your business and eliminate cash refunds keeping the money in your business.
Federated Payment’s CEO, Jon Levitt, explains, “Offering gift cards to your customers is a highly profitable business strategy. If you purchase a packet of 100 gift cards and your average gift card sale is for $50, the business could potentially generate $5,000 in revenue. If you run at an average of a 50% profit margin, you have just earned $2,500 of pure profit in your pocket. Plus, once a customer purchases a gift card, the money is yours, even if the card goes unredeemed.”
John Guirguis, Federated’s president, adds, “Federated Canada makes integrating gift cards into your business a fast and easy option. From creating cards with your customized logo to account activation to instant retrieval of all card information, we provide our merchants with a turnkey, value-added solution to increase their revenue stream.”
