Gift Cards, Now Available On Goody

Gift Cards, Now Available On Goody

We’re thrilled to announce that gift cards are now available on Goody. Featuring options from dozens of national brands like Amazon, Airbnb, REI, Grubhub, Fanatics, and Adidas, gift cards on Goody offer senders and recipients more security and flexibility than ever before.

Why gift cards are better on Goody

While there are many options out there for sending gift cards, sending them on Goody comes with unique benefits for both senders and recipients.

1. You only pay if your gift card is accepted. You don’t need to worry about purchasing and sending a gift card, only to have it fall through the cracks. Your payment method is only charged after your recipient accepts your gift.

2. Choose from dozens of options, from indie brands to national chains. Goody’s expansive gift card selection includes digital brands like Uber, Amazon, Airbnb, Hulu, and Doordash; national retailers like Sephora, Whole Foods, Crate & Barrel, Dunkin’ and Adidas; and trending brands like Misfits Market, Skillest, Heyday skincare, and Simply Framed.

3. Recipients can swap gift cards for alternative gift options. Let’s say you send a Dunkin’ gift card to someone who doesn’t drink coffee. They can swap your gift card for a physical gift of their choice from Goody’s curated collection of 300+ brands.

A powerful tool for business gifters

Gift cards are particularly useful for business gifters. Whether you’re recognizing your own team for their hard work, sending a sympathy Grubhub gift card to a client who’s experiencing a loss, or trying to get your foot in the door with a sales prospect, gift cards are often the perfect way to break through and build a personal relationship.

On Goody for Business, our business gifting platform, you can send up to 1,000 gift cards at the same time using CSV upload – a helpful option for sending gift cards to multiple employees, clients, or sales prospects.

One of the most tried-and-true business applications for gift cards is sales prospecting. Small, thoughtful, and strategically timed gift cards can deliver outsized returns for sellers.

For example, sending even a $10 gift card to a cold sales prospect can break the ice and get them to respond to your outreach. (“Hope you have some amazing summer travel coming up. Here’s an Airbnb gift card to get you started.”) Sending a $5 Dunkin’ gift card before a meeting – “So you can grab a coffee before our call later today” – will improve the odds that a sales prospect will show up. 

If you’re not sure what someone’s email address is (because you’re prospecting on LinkedIn, for example), you can even create a gift link to send via any channel you’re using, such as LinkedIn InMail or Twitter DM.

Best of all, Goody makes sending gift cards more cost-effective than ever, because you don’t need to worry about unaccepted gift cards going to waste. You only pay when a recipient accepts.

We’re just getting started
