Result

The importance of having a gift card program
In today’s fast-evolving retail landscape, gift cards have become a cornerstone for driving additional revenue, boosting customer loyalty, and creating versatile sales opportunities across every channel.
With gift card industry growth expected to skyrocket in the coming years, more brands recognise the potential of a robust gift card program not only for immediate revenue but also for targeted promotions, seasonal sales peaks, and employee incentives.
RHS wanted to capitalise on this, so they enlisted the help of Jigsaw, the gift card experts, to bring their gift card program to life.
Creating a gift card program from scratch
The Jigsaw team designed, developed, and launched a full-scale gift card program available across B2C and B2B platforms, bringing RHS’s offering to life across both physical and digital channels in an impressive four-month period.
Jigsaw also collaborated closely with RHS on their physical and eGift card designs, which you can see to the right. This partnership enabled smooth sales and redemption of gift cards, both online and in-store, making it easy for customers to engage with RHS in any way they choose.


Launching the RHS eCommerce site
To create a seamless experience that’s perfectly on-brand, Jigsaw built a fully branded, bespoke eCommerce site that extends RHS’s main website, taking care of the design and ongoing management so RHS can focus on what they do best.
Seamless gift card processing with Jigsaw360
RHS’s gift card program was seamlessly integrated into Jigsaw360, Jigsaw’s secure and reliable processor that ensures every gift card transaction is safe and efficient. To boost visibility, Jigsaw also launched RHS onto the Tillo Network, putting their gift cards in front of hundreds of potential buyers and opening up new growth opportunities.


Launching the RHS eCommerce site
From zero to hero - RHS now has a flourishing, omni-channel gift card program operating in both B2B and B2C channels, expertly managed by Jigsaw.
Their program has unlocked exciting new avenues for customer engagement, giving RHS a powerful tool for driving revenue growth. The success of the program was evident right from the start, with the highest-grossing week for eCommerce sales achieving an impressive 958% week-on-week growth following launch.
