existing credit card terminal. This program uses the magnetic stripe gift

2. Gift Card & Loyalty
Program - Some merchants are looking for a Gift Card Program that not
only allows their customers to use their cards as Gift Cards, but also double up
and can be used for in-store loyalty programs. This program uses the SMART
Card, which is a card with an embedded smart chip. This technology is
widely used throughout Europe for Gift Cards, Bus Passes and in many other daily
uses. To find out more about the Gift Card

businesses. Our hands-on experience has given us a unique understanding of the

Our development team has a 10 year track record of implementing smart card
stored value applications which have performed tens of millions of transactions
and moved billions of dollars in value. Thousands of merchants now use our smart
card technology to manage their own customized gift card and loyalty card
programs.
How It Works
With the Gift & Loyalty Card, customers simply purchase a
card, which is activated by inserting it into a point-of-sale terminal. The card
is then ready for use within seconds. When a customer makes a purchase, simply
insert the card into the terminal, and the amount spent is deducted from the
card. Loyalty points or value is added or deducted by the same simple process.
This program uses the Slumberger Magic 6000 Terminal.

Give yourself the gift of
profitability
If you currently use paper gift certificates, you're probably
handing out cash refunds for unredeemed value. Over time, this can add up to a
lot of money. Gift cards eliminate this problem because the unspent value stays
on the card. And when a gift card is expended, it can be easily recharged,
turning a one-time user into a lifetime customer.

Benefits:
Improved Profitability
Gift card users tend to pay full price more often and make larger
purchases, often spending more than the original value of the card.
Reduced Costs
According to one estimate, paper gift certificate costs run as
high as 8% of total gift certificate sales. Automated transactions and the
elimination of time-consuming paper processes may reduce this cost by as much as
90%.
Increased Security
Gift cards may also reduce employee and customer theft, since
cards only have value when they are activated, and all transactions are
electronically tracked.
Multiple Uses
Our innovative system allows gift cards to double as merchandise
return cards, as well as stored-value cards for benefit plans, employee
incentives and more.
Enhanced Brand Awareness
Keep your business on your customers' minds with custom-printed
smart cards. It's like putting your billboard in your customers' billfold. Gift
cards also give you the opportunity to run special promotions.
