Downtown Gift Cards Canada

Convert 'shop local' demand into increased local spend

Why introduce a downtown gift card program?

Downtowns across the USA are capitalizing on the ‘shop local’ opportunity and diverting online spend back into their local economies with Downtown Gift Cards. Support for local has never been stronger, with both consumers and organizations. And a Downtown Gift Card program converts this sentiment into increased local spend.

Impactful, measurable and proven, a Downtown Gift Card program is designed to minimize administration and maximize return ROI, with powerful reporting so you can demonstrate the positive impact of your program for your business community. With over 200 programs launched worldwide, and $50+ million in local spend, are you ready to discover the game-changing Downtown Gift Card program?

“As a Friendswood business owner and resident, signing up to participate in the Love Friendswood Gift Card program was a no-brainer. This program will encourage people to shop small and shop local and bring awareness to the variety of amazing businesses our small town has to offer. Not only am I excited to offer and accept the Gift Card, I can’t wait to gift it too!”

“In the past, we've given residents vouchers but giving them the West Denver Marketplaces Gift Card is better because of the choice it offers. People can use their Gift Card in the same way as anyone else; it doesn't mark them out in any way. We have an ongoing effort of collaboration on the West Side of Denver, and I'm excited about the Gift Card as a new collaborative project for our area.”

“There was so much choice that we knew when we gave the gift cards to staff they would say ‘this is brilliant’, and ‘I go to these shops and restaurants all the time so I can use this”
