		<description>Gift certificates gift cards etc etc. Are difficult to promote on their own.

To get your customers into having the expectation of you offering them consider the following.

You must first as a promotion offer these gift certificates as a gesture of goodwill when someone makes a purchase of X amount of dollars they get a gift certificate valuing Y amount of dollars.

Once your customers are aware that have certificates then after a while of giving them away for free to build up goodwill.

People will eventually purchase them seperately, once you have established goodwill. And at that point you can market them seperately.

It should also be said that gift cards certificates are not as popular in every business situation. Since you&#039;re not an electronics store or a fancy restaurant.

You may be just in the type of business that people would not to get a gift certificate because people will have their car detailed less often than go out for a meal.

Hope I have put it in perspective.</description>
