Gift Certificates Made Easy

Gift certificates are versatile and effective. Many battlefield operators around the world use gift cards to drive holiday sales, promote their services, and reach customers who might not have considered their venue otherwise.

Gift certificates can be offered for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, or any big occasion.

They’re also great for employee rewards, prize giveaways at local fairs, or as special recognition for loyal customers. Pro Tip: A one-person pass for a public Laser Skirmish session is a popular option—customers often bring a friend, creating extra exposure and sales.

Promote Your Gift Certificates

In-Store Promotion

Even if you operate outdoors or with a mobile setup, you can still advertise your gift cards. Consider:

• Displaying posters in bathrooms or high-traffic areas—your “captive audience” will see it! 

• Using flyers in gift shops or lounge areas.

• Attaching magnets or flyers to trailers or vehicles for mobile businesses.


Online Promotion

• Create a dedicated webpage for gift certificates (even if orders are via phone or email).

• Post about gift cards on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest.

Maximizing visibility, both in-person and online, helps ensure that customers are aware of gift certificates being available.


 

Why Gift Cards Work

According to Statista, the gift card market in the USA alone is worth more than $200 billion in 2025.

Jill Standish from Forbes says, "Gift cards are here to stay and will likely remain top of holiday shopping lists for many years to come. It’s a market already worth millions – and showing no signs of slowing down. By making gift cards easy to purchase, use, and manage, retailers have a tremendous opportunity to acquire new customers, strengthen relationships with existing ones, and ultimately, drive a festive boost to the bottom line."


In summary, gift certificates help:

• Increase sales during peak season 

• Introduce your venue to new customers 

• Encourage repeat visits from loyal patrons 

By offering a tangible, flexible, and easy-to-redeem product, you provide value while boosting your bottom line.

This holiday season, gift certificates are an easy, effective way to drive sales, reward your audience, and grow your business. Start promoting yours today!
