GiftCards
Retailers everywhere have discovered that gift cards are the BEST way to tempt clients and prospects to patronize their businesses. Why is a laminated $50 gift card so much more effective than a $50 coupon in motivating a buyer? A gift card in your hand makes you feel as though you are holding real money!
That's why Marathon has created laminated gift cards with the size and feel of a credit card. Each card features your custom design and can be purchased in your choice of two package options to complete the promotion. There is no limit to the ways you can find to market your business through this dynamic promotion:
- Send a $100 gift card to new parents to spend on the "first chapter" of their child's portrait history.
- Enroll clients in a "lifetime portrait program," for which no session fees are charged as long as they present the card.
- Send a birthday or anniversary greeting and enclose a gift card.
- Send high school senior prospects a gift card to spend on their senior portraits.
- During the holiday season advertise a "gift card sale" that allows your clients to purchase a $100 gift card for only $80; a $200 gift card for only $160 . . . and so on. Announce the sale by sending a gift card to your own client list.
Remember . . . you control the design of your gift card so be as creative as you wish. Design it yourself or let Marathon designers bring your concept to life. Because you can purchase both items in low quantities, use your gift cards for a multitude of promotional activities. What better way to assure that prospects and clients have a vested interest in patronizing your studio!
