EAST WINDSOR, N.J. -- ABC Gift Cards (www.abcgiftcards.com), a leading on-line gift card marketplace, sells major retail gift cards at a significant discount below the face value of the cards: e.g., Home Depot & Best Buy at 9% off the face value, Children's Place and Brooks Brothers at 20% off.
"Buying gift cards at a discount is almost like buying cash at a discount. Consumers are realizing that it's now more than just about giving - it's about saving. Customers who purchase gift cards from us and then use them as the method of payment at their favorite merchants are significantly reducing their shopping expenses," says Marc Acker, founder and CEO of ABC Gift Cards. "It's the new trend on how to fight the rising cost of living."
How are gift cards sold below face value and even below what bulk customers can purchase them for? For instance, Starbucks' bulk gift card sales department requires a minimum purchase of $500,000 to get a discount of 6%, whereas, ABC sells them at a 12% discount, with no minimum purchase. The answer is simple, says Acker, "We are a secondary Gift Card Marketplace. Did you ever receive a gift card as a present that you didn't want? ABC Gift Cards purchases these cards from you at a discount and then passes these saving on to their customers."
Gift Cards are among this year's most popular gifts, generating $97 billion in sales in 2007, well above the $83 billion of sales in 2006, according to The Tower Group, an independent research firm. Amazingly, 8.5% of these cards are never used (i.e. $8.2 billion in 2007).
Accordingly, www.ABCGiftCards.com has established a secure secondary market to buy, sell, and trade gift cards, and has a diverse selection of discounted gift cards from over 100 major retailers. Presently, they have the largest supply of discounted gift cards on-line.
ABC Gift Cards distinguishes itself from other secondary gift card markets in many ways.
A. Deal directly with the customer. They do not list other people's cards. Instead, paying top dollar, they purchase all the cards themselves, verify the validity extensively, and only then do they sell them to customers. All sellers have to be a verified member of "PAYPAL" or undergo a security check.
B. Offer an instant trading option. Customers can exchange their gift cards for other merchant's in ABC's vast inventory for a small transaction fee.
C. All orders are shipped out within 24 hours. Email delivery option is also available.
At www.ABCGiftCards.com, the customer is sure to save thousands of dollars a year by purchasing from the large selection of merchant cards and have the comfort of knowing that their transactions are safe. ABC is accredited by the Better Business Bureau, is a verified member of PayPal, and Google Checkout.
