The following are some of the most important things to keep in mind when creating your vouchers:
Ensure the Safety of Gift Certificates by
Including Security Measures
The greatest danger is that the
recipient will try to replicate the voucher and print their own when acquiring
gift certificates. Many modern security elements such as holograms, heat
reactive inks and watermarked paper are available for you to use in your gift
voucher design. These security elements can enhance the professionalism of the
voucher if implemented appropriately.
Design Them!
There's nothing worse than receiving a
dull gift card from your local retail store. For your convenience, there are
many organisations providing a one-stop shop for all of your gift card design
needs. Think about making your gift cards memorable for your recipients by
utilising distinctive colours, shapes, and embellishments!
Created-to-Order Gift Certificates With a Clean
Aesthetic
You may design your own gift vouchers in whatever way
would you like to emphasise your company's brand, not just the usual
rectangular shape. Is the design transparent? That's exactly what you are going
for, then. What do you call a circular card? It's okay if your card isn't
exactly like the others. Put your best foot forward with this card.
Initial Steps
Everyone overthinks this step of the
design process. It's perfectly okay to keep things basic! You may put your
logo, the term "gift card," and a tagline if you have one on the
front of your gift card. As long as you don't overcomplicate things, the more
visible your card is to your consumers, the better.
Gift Cards With Magnetic Stripes for Retail
Stores
It is recommended that you include your
name and contact information on the backside of the gift card. Your goal is for
people to locate you easily. You want to make it as simple as possible for
customers who get personalised gift cards from your company to get in touch with
you.
As long as you have a website and phone
number on your business card, people will be able to locate you. Your card will
have the relevant "Terms and Conditions" printed if it contains a
magnetic stripe or a barcode.
Choosing a Substance
You may choose how big your vouchers are
and how they're delivered. You can use vouchers as tiny as the size of a
business card or as large as the size of a chequebook. You should choose paper
at least 150 gsm thick; however, card stock is preferable because it is more
durable.
What Tracking Technique Should You Use?
Decide on how you're going to keep track of the cards you hand out. Printing companies normally provide a number mechanism to identify which cards have been printed and redeemed if you purchase fixed-denomination vouchers like £5, $10 and $20. A design that enables the amount to be written on the card when issued is another option. Regardless of the strategy you choose, keep in mind where you'll be jotting down the supplied numbers.
