ID Cards Canada offers a very sophisticated and comprehensive Gift Card / Loyalty Card Solution, that will allow your business to completely and accurately control all aspects of your Gift Card / Loyalty Card program, without ever paying any Transaction Fees.

It is an outstanding alternative to the transaction based Gift Card and Loyalty Systems, offered by large Credit Card Service organizations, and the Big Banks.

It is unique in the fact that there are never any transaction fees with our system.

You pay for it once, and you own it.

It is also unique in that we offer custom designed Gift Cards, no matter the quantity ordered.

You can order 100 or 100,000 Gift Cards, and we will provide them personalized for your business.

Our program runs on your PC or laptop computer, and aside from a simple magnetic stripe or barcode reader, there is no extra hardware to buy or lease.

The software will run on your POS system without conflicts.

Sales Promotion Application

You have issued 1,000 cards, with a value of $10 each.  

You sent these cards to existing clientele on your mailing lists, who have not returned to your store in the past year.  

There are no conditions to the $10 card, other than it must be spent in your store within 30 days of receipt.  

The reasons are as follows:

Old customers will likely return to your store to spend the $10, rather than go to a competitor.

They will likely spend in excess of the $10, thus providing a return on your investment.

The cost of the promotion, for those who do not return with their $10 card, is simply the cost of the Gift Card itself.

You see a significant increase in sales volume in the month that the promotion was run.

 

Service Promotion Application

You're an automotive dealership who sent Gift Cards to all your customers, who had not been back for service on their vehicle in the last 12 months. 

The offer was that the card would give a $50 discount on any service invoice over $250, in the month of the promotion.

Your dealership service revenue increased 22% for the month of the promotion.

Restaurant Promotion Application

Your restaurant will give Gift Cards valued at $10, which are valid for 30 days, to any customers celebrating an event.  

Typical events are wedding anniversaries, birthdays, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day.

Your restaurant has enjoyed a significant increase in customers and revenue, particularly after a nationally recognized event.

Tax Savings Application

In Canada, tax laws stipulate that businesses may only write off against their taxes, 50% of the cost of a meal, when entertaining clients.  An employees' meal is not deductible.  However if a business purchases a Gift Card from your establishment, and presents it to the customer, and allows the customer to pay using the Gift Card, then the Gift Card is considered a promotional item and is 100% tax deductible.
