The WeGift way vs.

See how digital eGift cards compare
Physical Gift Cards
- Posting physical cards can take 3 to 5 days to arrive
- Physical Gift Cards can get lost in transit
- Postage and manual fulfilment can cost more than the value of the goodwill
wegift
- Instant delivery, does not get lost in the post with no tracking issues
- Personalisation with interactive digital wrapping paper & photo and video messaging
- Cost effective, time efficient and operationally seamless process
Cash Payouts
- Takes 3 to 5 days to make payment by bank transfer
- Low perceived value as the cash can get ‘lost’ amongst the customer’s other transactions.
- No brand alignment, no control where the customer will spend the payout
- Higher cost to a business as there is no discount. E.g. a £10 payout costs £10 (plus the fees and overhead of processing the payment)
wegift
- Delight customers with instant digital delivery
- Impactful gesture of goodwill with a better customer experience
- Elect the brand(s) where eGift can be redeemed
- More cost effective with discounts of up to 20% on the goodwill amount being sent. For example a £10 eGift could only cost £9.
Discounts
- “10% off your next purchase” – the customer still has to pay money. A discount doesn’t feel like a goodwill gesture
- Discounting is far too common. It does not create that ‘fuzzy feeling’
- Discounting can have a negative impact on your brand equity
wegift
- Gifting has a higher perceived value – the customer doesn’t need to spend their money to benefit
- Gift Cards create that fuzzy feeling of goodwill – time and time again!
- Never discount your brand – give a gift instead

Each business unit have dedicated call centres set up to manage customer support for instances of faulty products or service or poor customer interactions.

“Using the WeGift Platform for all of our customer experience and loyalty eGift Card issuance has drastically streamlined our entire process. We are now able to issue a Halfords customer with an eGift Card immediately via email, plus the unique delivery that WeGift's Wrap offers really heightens the customer experience. Moving to eGift Cards means we no longer have the costs and overheads of sending Gift Cards out in the post.”
