What Trae can say in an interview on
Digital Gift Giving:
- The holiday shopping season is in full swing, and we’re hearing rumblings of shipping delays.
- No big surprise after online shopping surged over 20% on Black Friday—historically an in-store shopping day!
- Even Cyber Monday sales broke the all-time U.S. record, with $10.8 billion in sales, up 15.1% from last year, and setting a record for the biggest online sales day in U.S. history.
- Due to the pandemic, many of us won’t be seeing loved ones this holiday season. Many people will be shipping gifts instead. But what if it doesn’t get there in time? A great option that will avoid risking panic and disappointment is to simply opt for gifts that don’t have to be shipped at all.
- The new offering GiftYa, the Venmo of gift cards, is the perfect solution for this year’s holiday gift giving. Why? This new digital gift giving platform allows friends and family to attach videos, pictures, graphics, etc., to customize their gift and bring a little of family to those they can’t see in person.
- From your phone or computer, GiftYa allows one to send a virtual gift card to their loved ones from thousands of well-known and loved national and local merchants/brands around the United States. The recipient can use their “gift card” by connecting it to their credit or debit card,
- GiftYa gives the freedom to allow recipients to switch retailers electronically if they’d prefer to shop elsewhere—so the gift will always be used.
- Trae Bodge, Smart Shopping Expert at truetrae.com is here to share the best of the best.
- At GiftYa, their mission is to empower people to text a personalized gift in seconds, for any merchant, that never loses value, and cannot be lost or stolen. This enables people to show love in a faster, more beautiful and meaningful way. We have over 15,000 locations now and is growing.
