Prepaid long distance phone cards are becoming the promotional item of choice for a growing number of organizations. Plastic pre-paid phone cards have become a lucrative, point-of-purchase, retail profit center - and an extremely effective premium for marketing professionals. When used as market research tools, prepaid phone cards generate incredible response rates - as high as 50%. Cardholders get free long-distance minutes in exchange for taking an automated telephone survey during card activation.

Either purchased or received as a premium, every plastic phone card creates a tangible connection between a business and a consumer. Each time it is used, your brand is seen and your image projected.

 Gift Cards

There is no easier way to keep all of your money in your store; your customers purchase gifts or necessities based on the expenditure of the card. For consumers, this perceived value continues to take hold.

Gift cards are found in all kinds of stores. During the holiday season, Allstate produces cards for a variety of clients and many of the cards sold in the same location. For instance, a bookstore offered its card as a point of purchase item in a grocery store and sporting goods store. Gift cards keep your logo in front of the consumer. Passive branding is an easy concept. Because the card looks and feels "like a regular credit card" the value is perceived higher than a paper certificate. Some gift cards are "reloaded" after the initial pre-paid amount has been spent. With annual growth in

the 8% - 12% range, gift cards have had a dramatic effect on retailing over the last five years. Offering the flexibility of a traditional paper gift certificate and the convenience of a credit card, they are easy and convenient to obtain and perfect for all giving occasions. Gift cards can be individually packaged for activation at point-of-sale. Our Allstate service bureau can produce up to 500,000 personalized cards each day. With the services of our sister companies, we can provide forms printing, laser or inkjet personalization, bindery and automated pre-sort.
