Designing for Life Events Can Trigger Gift Card Sales

Designing for Life Events Can Trigger Gift Card Sales

With life events often having even greater impact on purchase decisions than generational categories, consider offering a variety of gift cards that recognize and celebrate key milestones, including –

• College
• New Career
• Home Purchase
• Marriage
• Parenthood
• Retirement
• New Grandparent

Even if your brand’s niche does not connect with all life stages, most brands connect with a select few, and designing gift cards accordingly can generate both purposeful and spontaneous purchases.

Looking for something to give ______________ for _______________ – this is perfect!

Multi-Appeal with Multi-Choice

Designs that resonate with newly engaged couples, first-time and repeat parents, and empty nesters are likely varied. However, consumers often make gift purchases with all these audiences in mind. To capture all their spend, offer a wide selection of gift cards with relevance to all these life junctures.
