Gift Cards and Gift Certificates:
• Increase business
• Increase customer loyalty
• Make a profit for the restaurant, since up to 30% to 35% of gift cards traditionally go unredeemed
Nearly one-half of U.S. consumers used a gift card during the past year according to results released earlier this year from Standard Register's third National Consumer and Retailer Survey of Plastic Card Usage. Research indicates that 45% of adults have used gift cards, an increase of 34% over last year's survey. Consumers spend an average of $200 per year on gift cards, an increase of $61 from 2000. In addition, 61% of respondents who have received gift cards indicated they spend more than the amount assigned to the card and 55% of gift card recipients find more than one trip necessary to deplete the value of a gift card. This adds up to big business for restaurateurs.
