Why Choose Blackstone to Distribute and Process Your Gift Cards?

There is no doubt that Gift Cards have become a staple in our society - accounting for $30 billion dollars in annual gift spending and becoming one of the most sought after gifts of 2002!

VISA estimates the overall market for gift cards to be nearly $300 billion!

THE CHALLENGE

We all know the many benefits of Gift Cards, such as reduced fraud, faster processing, repeat business and lower administrative costs. However, there is little focus on the biggest challenge that Gift Card programs face- wide spread distribution. The sale of Gift Cards is usually limited to the closed loop of retail chain stores, at their customer service centers or on the retailers’ website.

THE SOLUTION

Our Strength – Distribution

Blackstone has built its name and reputation on the marketing and distribution relationship it has with its merchants, distributors and wholesalers across the country. We offer a variety of options to get products into the hands of the consumer - from traditional hanging cards, to Point of Sale terminals and the Blackstone Portal. All provide retailers with an end-to-end solution for the distribution of gift cards through cross marketing programs that will impact consumers while they are grocery shopping, at the mall or waiting for a flight.
