Evaluation Criteria: Best Gift & Loyalty Cards Programs
Tracking Methods
We evaluate and rank the best gift & loyalty card providers to help merchants make an educated decision when finding a provider allowing them to offer their customers rewards and gift purchasing options. During this analysis, we investigate the tracking methods and statistics which are gathered and offered to merchants for the purpose of analyzing the purchasing habits and patterns of their dedicated customers.
Customer Support
With any kind of technological service it becomes important for the vendor to offer an effective customer support process. We investigate their ability to support their merchants quickly and efficiently and how much experience and expertise their customer support professionals have with the gift & loyalty card services being offered. It is important for the processor to offer their merchants full time customer support.
Implementation
Many merchants already have an existing infrastructure or have technological requirements prior to seeking out a vendor for gift & loyalty processing services. It is important for the vendors which we recommend to have internal processes and strategies set in place to assist their merchants in outfitting their locations with the ability to provide and accept the specialized cards with a minimal time investment.
Reporting
Merchants are often looking for new ways to better understand and interpret the purchasing decisions and patterns of their paying customers. During our analysis of these vendors we spend time analyzing the types of reports and information which are being provided to merchants. The statistics being delivered to merchants, the amount of information, and the overall presentation of the information is important.
Design Quality
Businesses are often looking for new ways to retain customers over the long-term. Gift and loyalty cards are a reminder to paying customers of the products and services offered by their business. During our analysis of gift and loyalty card services we investigate the design quality and design practices of each vendor in order to better understand the capabilities and practices which influence the quality of their designed gift cards.
