Product, Marketing and Sales Managers have many choices when it comes to moving inventory, launching new products and building excitement around their products. Rebates are a proven and effective way to accomplish this, along with helping to manage budgets and adding value to promotions. Until recently, checks have been one of the only choices available to send rebate dollars to customers. However...the future has arrived in Branded Rebate Cards:

Consumers like Branded Cards and recognize them as a great alternative to cash and checks.

Customers can use the card instantly – They don’t have to go to the bank.
Customers can use the card anywhere Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted.
Customers can use the card to shop online – you can’t do that with checks.
Customers carry your Branded Card in their wallet – instead of sending it to the bank.

More and more Companies are realizing the benefits of issuing Branded Cards for rebates and the advantages include:

Reinforced branding of products and marketing campaigns.
Access to reporting that measures the ROI on rebate dollars spent. Reports that can be used to negotiate with Retail distributors or reports that provide insight into consumer buying trends.
New ways to relate to customers with innovative rebate campaigns – Instant Issue rebates, Virtual Rebates and Rebate Plus Programs (adding value with subsequent purchases).
