Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Giftbit, as the chair of our staff morale committee, to send gift cards to staff during the pandemic when we couldn't gather together as a group. Normally, we provide meals to staff throughout the year and because of COVID, we had to get creative with how to boost morale and show appreciation for our employees this past year and a half. We sent gift cards to staff using Giftbit on three or four occasions so far, and it was an easy way to send out a lot of gift cards at a time and the staff loved being able to choose their own restaurant or store.

Pros and Cons

It's super easy to buy and send the gift cards. I used the links and they were sent to me right away in an Excel sheet.
There was a good variety of gift cards to choose from to offer to our staff.
User-friendly interface for our staff to use (even the not-so-technologically-savvy!

I would love to be able to customize the actual gift more by being able to add more graphics, change fonts, etc.
As a nonprofit organization, we can't really afford to lose so much money by people not claiming gift cards, which is why we chose to buy links. Using the links is very time consuming to send out.

Most Important Features

Gift card variety options for different staff
Quick buying options for last-minute organization of projects
The ability to buy links instead of just sending out the gift cards to individual emails

Return on Investment

Our experience with Giftbit definitely raised staff morale.
Love that you are able to customize how much you want to offer on the gift cards

Likelihood to Recommend

Giftbit is great to send many gifts at one time. I had a hard time finding anything similar when wanting to reward staff who are all very different as far as personality types, pay grades, lifestyles, etc. Giftbit really had something for everyone and it's easy to send many out at one time if you a lot of staff.

Giftbit is a great tool to reward staff!
