SnapGifts: Offering New Gift Card Distribution for Local Businesses

Overland Park, KS (PRWEB) November 22, 2009 -- Snapgifts, a Kansas City-based business, is pleased to announce the launch of SnapGifts.com, an online portal allowing consumers to purchase gift cards and deliver them to their recipients instantly via email.

SnapGifts is launching locally in Kansas City with a mission to support small to medium sized businesses, allowing them to increase distribution of their gift card sales.

“Most gift cards sites on the web and retail stores are focused on gift cards from national brands,” says SnapGifts founder Manoj George. “This makes it extremely hard for local businesses to get gift card distribution beyond their stores. For example, a typical chain store sells $50,000-$100,000 worth of gift cards per location every year, while most local business sells cards under $10,000 per location. We intend to change this skewed distribution, and at the same time provide a better selection of gift cards for consumers”.

Saints Pub+Patio, Tannahs Asian Fusion, La Hacienda, KC Grill and Kabob, Ruchi Indian Cuisine of Kansas City, as well as Phoenix Gallery of Lawrence, KS are amongst the first to partner with SnapGifts. The e-mail gift card concept has been received positively by local merchants within the Kansas City area so far.

“The SnapGifts e-gift card program is a seamless and hassle-free solution for us. It also makes purchasing our gift cards easy and convenient for our customers. We are already seeing an increase in our gift card sales,” says Mike Reiner, General Manager of Saints Pub + Patio in Lenexa, KS.
