Affiliate Case Study - Gift Card Industry

Introduction

A gift card is a type of prepaid card that is issued by a retailer or financial institution and used as an alternative to cash for purchases within a specific store or group of stores. Gift cards typically have a fixed monetary value and can be used until the balance is fully depleted.

Gift cards are popular gifts for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions. They are convenient for both the giver and the recipient, as they eliminate the need for the giver to choose a specific item and for the recipient to exchange unwanted gifts.

Some gift cards have additional fees or expiration dates, so it’s important to read the terms and conditions carefully before purchasing or using a gift card.
