I represent Direct Strategies, Inc., a customer loyalty and incentive company located in Gilbert, AZ.

I’m sure you’d agree that most businesses in today’s economy must offer some type of incentive to retain and/or attract new customers. But the question arises… what type of incentive is best for you and what do your customers really want?

Marketing researcher, Dr. Flint McGlaughlin labels the cash discount as the worst incentive one can offer because offering $100 off is a straight cash loss to the business. And since many customers believe that you simply raised the price of the item or service and then offered the discount, they don’t feel as if they are really saving anything at all. Remember, Perceived Value Is Reality to your customer.

We offer very unique customer incentives; gas, grocery, retail, pharmacy, dining certificates that really work! Right now, the “Perceived Value” of gas (even though prices are lower) and groceries is extremely high. Discretionary income for material things like televisions, stereos, clothing, entertainment and more is dwindling every month in most households. And the cost of prescription medicine, especially for those without insurance, is causing families to make really tough health decisions, not always for the best.

Our Certificate Redemption Program is an incentive that will help your business bring in more customers and make more sales by allowing you to offer your customers up to $600 in gas, groceries, retail, pharmacy, dining purchases for a fraction of that cost.

You may have used a similar incentive in the past, providing gift cards to your customers or to employees as rewards. But you probably paid $25, $50, $100 or more for each and every gift card you gave away. Our program lets you pay pennies on the dollar and your customer will get a monthly $20 Visa debit card back on everyday purchases they’d make anyway … for up to 30 months.

These certificates are exclusive invitations from you to your customers, inviting them to participate in a rebate program -exclusive because customers cannot participate in the Rebate Program without one of these certificates!

Here’s how it works: Your customers can shop at the merchant of their choice. When they spend at least $100 per month and send in their receipts, they will receive a $20.00 Visa Debit Card that they can use anywhere Visa is accepted. They can even use it as part of the next month’s redemption. And offering a Visa Debit Card allows every one of your customers to participate in the program.

The Program has been used, with great success, by many companies all over the United States and Canada.

What can rebate certificates do for you?

• Retain Customers:   Promote the gas/grocery/retail/pharmacy/dining rebate program to your current database to help re-energize old customers.
• Attract New Customers:   Advertise this rebate program and attract new customers for your products or services.
• Avoid Costly Deep Discounted Sales and Loss Leaders:  Rather than deeply discounting your products or service or taking a loss to close sales with more customers, instead offer a rebate certificate with a face value of up to $600.00 for a fraction of the cost.
• Increase Lead Generation:   Give a $300.00 rebate certificate just for allowing you to provide a quote and see a sharp increase in sales leads.
• Gain a Competitive Edge:  Nearly everyone competes on price and customer service, so think “outside the box” and standout from your competitors. Offer significantly enhanced value to your product or service:   gas/grocery/retail/pharmacy/dining rebates.
• Motivate Employees:   Rebate certificates are ideal gifts to reward employee achievement and loyalty in a way that benefits them way more than it costs you! Increase productivity with happier employees and increased business.

P.S. We have businesses running ads that say “Get $1,000 in Gas and Groceries when your purchase totals $XXX.XX”. Since consumers can use ANY of our certificates simultaneously that type of ad sounds extremely appealing to potential customers. If that is of interest… just order an equal number of two different types of certificates and give one of each to your customers or our new (Ask me for details)

For quite some time now, businesses have been catching onto the secret to grow business without a lot of extra advertising money. Through the use of free gas and grocery certificate incentive programs, not only have they seen sales increase, but customer loyalty has been at an all time high through the use of these incentives. By providing a reward that the customer needs these certificates make it possible for them to have products or services previously not possible.

This option is not available just for the businesses now, however. Non-profit groups that need to earn fund-raising dollars can get access to these free certificates also. Now paired with the easily recognizable name of Kidz-IDZ, free grocery and gas certificates are waiting to help your organization earn money.

How you do this is simple. Just offer free groceries or gas in return for a donation to your organization from $20-$30. The purchaser will receive a certificate that needs to be activated, and every month can exchange $100 in grocery receipts for a $25 Visa card. It?s really that simple.

The plan for fundraising has been set up through an established company that knows how to make your marketing plan easy. With an easy to read catalog, customers will be able to select a dollar amount for the donation and see the reward given back to them – either groceries or gas.

Recently we have added a new feature to our free gas rewards. There is now a new type of certificated for your customers. The pharmacy certificate is available to use towards prescription and non-prescription medications. In addition, customers also get a prescription discount card that can save customers up to 60% off prescriptions. Combine that with s $25 reward card, and you are providing customers with a huge benefit in today?s savings with rising medical cost.

If customers have children (or grandchildren), as an additional bonus, they will get a free Kidz-Idz with each certificate purchased. This will provide a safety net in the event there is ever a need to have children?s photos and fingerprints on hand, as well as any other identifying information that may be hard to think of in an emergency situation.

What other program offers you so much for so little? Higher sales or dramatic fundraising results, great value for your customers and loyalty to the program? Get started today with your certificates. Help your customers save money on the things they use everyday while you help stimulate the economy by growing your business.

Only the Best,
