More and more organisations are making the switch to our local gift cards to say thank you to their teams, especially during the Christmas period, and here are nine reasons that employees will love a Hereford Gift Card.

1. We feature big brands they know and the local businesses they love. 

2. They boost motivation. It’s a thank you with spending flexibility. 

3. Staff want to support local, especially after the pandemic. 

4. Multi-store flexibility offers greater choice across all employees. 

5. They can help with the cost of living. Each employee has different circumstances. 

6. They’re better than cash. Gift cards consistently top polls as the most popular reward for staff. In 2022, over 85% of employees said they’d prefer a gift card over cash. 

7. They can support wellbeing. Spending options include health, beauty, wellbeing, salons, gyms and opticians. 

8. They’re super easy to use. 

9. They create more positive memories. A meal out over the holidays, buying their Christmas food or treating the kids will surely be a reward they remember.

• Choose from over 100 outlets, including all the local favourites that welcome the Hereford Gift Card – big brands, local shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and attractions something for everyone. 
    
• They drive spend in your local area; Over 79% of employees who receive a gift card through work visit the city centre to spend it. And almost 50% will spend their gift card within three months. Choosing the Hereford Gift Card for employees or clients locks in spending immediately in our local area. 
    
• They help your staff to support local. An August 2022 survey found that 99% of employees said that supporting local businesses is important to them for Christmas.  

Now is the perfect time to purchase ready-to-handout early in time for Christmas spending. 

Recent industry articles state that in 2023, incentives are an increasingly critical business strategy to help organisations attract, retain, and build culture across in-office and remote workers. Choosing the right way to reward and incentivise staff is crucial to finding and keeping the people you want and creating a positive workplace environment.  

Gift cards consistently top polls as the most popular reward for staff. In 2022, over 85% of employees said they’d prefer a gift card over cash! Why? Because a gift card permits them to treat themselves whilst cash just gets absorbed into the general pot, never to be seen again. Town & City Gift Cards go one better than regular gift cards because they offer the ultimate local choice in one card.
