DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
Gift Cards seem like a perfect solution to the problem of what to give this holiday season.
But a card is one gift that can keep on giving … grief. Some retail cards lose value or expire if you don’t use them quickly. And that’s just among people who attempted to use them.
Earlier this year, TowerGroup, a research firm in Needham, Mass., estimated the value
of unused gift cards in the U.S. at $8 billion for 2006. And in its fiscal 2006 annual report, the retailer Best Buy revealed a $43 million gain from gift cards that were unlikely to be used. Over one-third of those respondents said they didn’t use the cards because they either forgot about them, lost them, or the cards had expired. But the most common reasons people gave for not spending their gift cards were that they didn’t have time to shop (58 percent) or couldn’t find anything to buy (35 percent).”
On the other hand, Bikes Built Better has a unique way of handling gift certificates that insures that those precious dollars won’t go astray.
When a gift certificate is purchased for one of our customers, the full amount is immediately credited to that person’s in-house account. The next time that customer comes into the store and makes a purchase–anything from a State Inspection to an engine rebuild–that credit can be applied to the bill.
It doesn’t matter if the customer has lost the gift certificate, or if they don’t come into the store until months after Christmas. And our customers never need to worry about finding something to spend their gift certificates on…anybody who owns a motorcycle can tell you that there’s always SOMETHING that the bike needs or that the owner wants. And since Bikes Built Better buys from all the major parts and accessories distributors we’re well-stocked with tempting motorcycle goodies. If we don’t have what you want, we can often get it within 24 hours.We even handle
OEM parts from Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki.
No time to shop? No problem! Bikes Built Better handles tons of sales over the phone or the internet, and Gift Certificate dollars can be applied to those sales as well.
So don’t waste your hard-won Holiday dollars on something that your loved ones will never use. If there’s a motorcyclist in your life, get them a gift certificate from Bikes Built Better. They can use it toward anything we sell, it never expires, and it can’t be lost.
