Instant Gift Certificates for Spas
Why do I need it?
Instant Gift Certificates are a great service for your clients, providing convenience, instant gratification and solving last minute gift-giving problems. You'll sell more gift certificates and save staff time while doing it — there's no fulfillment for Instant Gift Certificates.
What will they look like?
Choose your favorite designs from our library — all of which are automatically branded with your logo. Your clients personalize their gift by choosing the perfect design for the occasion along with the recipient's and sender's names and any message. If you'd like to take it further you can even create custom designs. It's up to you!
How does it work?
We create an Instant Gift Certificates page just for you, that looks just like your existing website. We'll then help you add your new Instant Gift Certificate page to your website.
You can easily change your services and packages that are available for Instant Gift Certificates. And, you can create specials that apply just for a specific time period.
Gift-givers just choose a gift certificate design, preview it, and then, after providing credit card information, instantly print or email it.
Examples
Instant Gift Certificates included in existing websites:
Instant Gift Certificates built-in to a SpaBoom Dynamic Website:
What does it cost?
Setup is just $99, then you pay only when you sell, just 5% of your online sales. Once a month, we bill your credit card for your prior month's sales. (Note: Solo aestheticians and massage therapists pay just $19 for setup, but solo means 'one' not many, so please honor that!) See our Pricing.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Your SpaBoom service is month to month. If our service isn’t working out for you, you may cancel at any time for any reason.
How does it affect my front desk staff?
It saves time! Your front desk will no longer be stuck taking time consuming phone orders, nor filling out and mailing gift cards by hand.
Who buys Instant Gift Certificates?
Everyone! But in particular, Instant Gift Certificates will increase your sales to out-of-town and last minute purchasers. So much so, that often 50% of Instant Gift Certificate sales are in the last 48 hours before the gift-giving occasion.
How are credit cards processed?
One of two ways:
- Manual processing: every time a client purchases an Instant Gift Certificate, you’ll be notified by email. It’s fast and easy to log in to SpaBoom and pull up the credit card and buyer information. You then process it like you would a phone order (except you didn't have to spend all that time on the phone).
- Online processing: Setup your merchant account to accept online transactions via Authorize.net or use PayPal Website Payments Pro — both automatically process credit cards right as sales are made.
How do my clients get their gift certificates?
Your client prints or emails their Instant Gift Certificate themselves, right away! No more filling out or mailing gift certificates by hand!
Can I run specials?
You can easily highlight services (with special pricing), discount by percentage and BOGOs (buy one, get one free), for just the time period you want. For example, you could offer a free $20 GC with each $100 GC purchased for Mother's Day, or a 10% discount on all GCs for a one-week anniversary celebration.
What about gratuities?
You choose whether gratuities are an option for services gift certificates, and you can even suggest a starting point, say 15% or 18%.
Custom design services are also available if you need a new logo, custom design work or other special assistance.
