Build Long-Term Value for Your Business

When it comes to gift-giving, consumers love the convenience and flexibility of gift cards. Throughout the year, and especially during the holiday shopping season, savvy retailers look to gift cards as a valuable source of revenue. Gift cards drive consumers to a store, restaurant, or venue to make a purchase, and many end up spending more than the value of the card during their visit. Retailers also benefit from brand exposure when consumers receive a gift card from an establishment that they have not previously visited.

“Reward repeat customers and sales will increase.”

The philosophy behind customer loyalty programs couldn’t be any more simple. It’s a basic and powerful strategy for businesses whose goals are to continually increase sales or jumpstart sluggish revenue. Gift and Loyalty programs have become a staple for many large businesses. In order to remain competitive, smaller to mid-sized businesses are beginning to adopt their own programs. Let EMS create a gift and loyalty solution that fits the needs of your business.

Surcharge and Cash Discount Programs

Most consumers today prefer to pay by credit or debit card. Cards are simply more convenient. But you know that processing credit cards isn’t free. In fact, it can be downright costly, depending on who you’re processing with and how much you’re processing each day. Our Surcharge and Cash Discount Programs can help you keep more of your hard-earned dollars in your pocket.

Our Cash Discount Program encourages your customers to pay with cash by adding a small service charge to all store sales that will be removed if the customer pays with cash. This can help you save hundreds of dollars every month and improve your bottom line.
