How to Turn Happy Customers into Repeat Business
What is it
You need a simple system that turns happy customers into repeat buyers and active referral sources.
We provide custom-branded reward cards integrated with a customer appreciation app that gives your customers a discount that brings them back and something with a tangible value to hand off when they recommend you.
Just hand customers your reward card after they buy your products or services to say thanks.
That's it. We handle the rest.
How it works
The front of the card rewards customers with a discount that brings them back to buy again. (Repeat Business)
Customers can also share the card with friends, family, and neighbors who need what you offer, bringing you new customers. (Warm Referrals)
If you choose to offer it, customers can also direct a donation from your business to a local cause they care about. That cause, and its supporters, will then start talking about and promoting your business. (Community Visibility)
Every dollar you spend either brings someone back or puts your name in front of people who already trust the person who sent them. (Real Results)
Why it works
The card gives customers something with a real value to encourage them to come back and buy again. They carry it in their wallet because it has a dollar value they don't want to waste.
Happy customers share the card with friends, family, and neighbors, bringing you warm referrals from people who already trust the person who sent them.
When customers redeems the donation for a local cause, that entire community hears your name in a positive context. That's visibility no ad can buy.
You see the results as customers bring cards back to claim their discount and new customers show up because someone handed them your card.

- SmallGyfts 4EVR Reward Cards™

How do 4EVR Reward Cards™ work?
Reward cards are durable plastic cards (like credit cards) with your business branding. You order them once and reuse them forever. When a customer redeems their discount, you collect the card, reactivate it using the SmallGyfts app then give to your next customer. Each card can be reused hundreds of times.
What's included in the card price?
Card includes:
✓ Price starts at $2.00/card (volume discount available)
✓ Full-color printing with your design
✓ Durable plastic card stock
✓ QR code for community donations
✓ Set donation value using the SmallGyfts app (optional)
✓ Unlimited lifetime reactivations
Pay once. The cards are yours forever.
How do donation credits work?
Buy credits to activate the community referral feature. When customers connect your card to a cause they care about, that community starts hearing your name. Here's how it works:
✓ You buy $100 in credits (costs you $115 with 15% fee on Pay-as-You-Go tier)
✓ You send an email with a $20 donation reward (link)
✓ Customer clicks the link, redeems, and directs the $20 donation to their church
✓ $20 moves from your credit account to the church
✓ You have $80 in credits remaining
Credits never expire. If you decide to stop using the donation feature, any unused credits are fully refundable.
Do I need the donation feature or can I just use the discount cards?
You can use SmallGyfts either way:
Discount cards only (great starting point):
✓ Give customers cards with your discount
✓ They use it for next purchase or give to friends
✓ No donations, no credits needed
✓ Lower cost, still generates referrals
✓ The QR code on the card takes them to your profile
Discount + Community donations (maximum reach):
✓ Customers get discount AND direct a donation to a cause
✓ Puts your name in front of entire networks of potential customers
✓ Builds trust with people who already know the person recommending you
✓ Higher engagement and more referrals
Many businesses start discount-only and add the donation feature later when they see cards working.
