Race Directors - You’ve 20 Days Left To Boost Your Entries With Valentine’s Day Gift Cards

 

New and Returning Customers

Offering gift cards for your events is a great way to win new customers as they work similarly to a refer-a-friend scheme. Your existing customers can introduce their friends and family to your races, by gifting them with a digital gift card on their birthday or any special occasion including: 

  • Valentine's Day - 14 February

  • Mothers’ Day - 27 March 

  • Easter Sunday - 17 April

  • Fathers’ Day - 19 June

  • Birthdays, anniversaries etc
     

Enjoy Increased Spending

As well as bringing you more customers, people who buy digital gift cards are much more likely to spend more money than they would on an actual gift as they’ll tend to round up their spending.

A recent survey carried out by Fiserv found that

  • People say they will spend 55% of their gifts budget on gift cards

  • That 33% of people have admitted to spending more on gift cards than they would an actual gift [3]. 
     

Gain More Customer Insights

An additional benefit for your race business is that you will require customers and racers to fill out their contact information to set up the card and or enter a race when they redeem a digital gift card. This is a great way to collect valuable data to begin shaping your service and sharing any promotions through your marketing channels.
