Local Spend, Delivered

“In the past, I’ve had other multi-store gift cards but they’re a bit niche because it’s just the big stores. I like Town & City Gift Cards because they have the little independent businesses too. I like the variety that it offers the recipient, they can choose where to spend it, and spend a bit here and there.”Consumer

“Our staff used their Drogheda Gift Card for all kinds of things. The diversity of the businesses where the gift card could be spent was appreciated and utilised by our staff. As an organisation, it makes sense for us to reward our employees with a gift card thanks to the small benefit exemption scheme, which allows us to give staff up to €1,000 tax free each year as a gift card. If we gave €1,000 cash, it would cost us €1,000 as an organisation but the employee would only receive €550. With the gift card, employees receive the full amount.”

“When the Lakes Gift Card was introduced it made it so much easier to support local businesses. I think it’s the greatest program and I felt happier giving the Lakes Gift Cards to staff than any of the previous methods I’ve used. Staff were happy with the Lakes Gift Card. One gift card is much easier for them than carrying around lots of paper vouchers, which they might leave at home and not have when they need them. It’s far easier to put a Lakes Gift Card in a purse or wallet and use it as it’s needed like a debit card.”
