Repeated Customers
You can sell gift cards without providing a service or product. Your sale doesn’t depend on when the gift card is redeemed and customers will often spend more than the actual value of the card, which further enhances your cash flow. It’s also possible that some gift card purchases will go unused, meaning that’s essentially extra revenue for your store.
