Diwali: Digital gift cards a hit

BENGALURU: Diwali gifting need not be an inconsiderate affair for HR managers in the corporate sector anymore, thanks to an integrated system of digital gift cards. These gift cards or vouchers vary from shopping to wellness and their popularity comes from the fact that their employees not only have more choices while picking gifts that appeal to them while also cutting costs as they avail discounts.

A gift card is a prepaid stored-value money card usually issued by a retailer or bank to be used as an alternative to cash for purchases within a particular store or related businesses. From Pepperfry furniture to Amazon’s online shopping, gift cards are being used in numbers. For example GiftCards.com offers gift cards from around 500,000 different large and small businesses throughout the United States and the world.
