About town and city gift cards:
Shopping local makes you feel good. You are part of a community, you get to know the local business owners and you often find that it can be cheaper than shopping online, plus you don’t have the hassle of trying to collect your parcel or find out where the delivery driver left it!
To be able to gift someone this feel good factor is also an option. Town and City Gift Cards allow you to give someone the gift of exploring their local place. To eat out, shop, have a cocktail, treat themselves to some pampering or a new outfit.
There are now more than 30 live Mastercard gift cards programmes in all types of towns and cities across the UK including Edinburgh, Sheffield, Cambridge, Enniskillen, Elgin, Bath, East Lothian, Chichester, Exeter, Cardiff and Cheltenham.
These programmes stimulate additional economic activity and deliver measurable value for businesses. They can also be self-funding.
