Since gift cards are so popular in online retail and they are the top gifts every holiday season for the past five years and that gift cards are given more by women than men, I have been thinking if I should also offer gift cards on my Store. However, the idea may be excellent but implementation of it is not as easy.
Also, once I sold a gift card, it would mean that I would have already collected payment from the buyer of the gift card and I must always have sufficient stocks on hand to satisfy the purchasing needs of the recipient who, after receiving the gift card, would want to come shopping at the Store, right?
That's why it would be quite difficult to execute at this point in time when I am still not able to devote so much time to the store, especially in procurement and listing them. In real brick and mortar businesses, listing is like displaying. If the items are not displayed, they would not be seen and would not be bought, you know.
So yeah, I am stashing this idea away for the future. Let’s hope that the day will come when my online Store has a breakthrough.
