It’s beginning to look a lot like the holiday season. Ghosts and goblins may be knocking at your front door for some trick-or-treats in a couple weeks, but consumers already have holiday giving on their minds. Just in time, Market America and SHOP.COM have introduced a much-requested gift essential to the SHOP.COM marketplace.
The new SHOP.COM Gift Cards are the ideal gift to give and to get, but they’re also one of the best new ways to build your business. Why?
- They’re easy to find: You can find SHOP.COM gift cards listed with Market America’s brands, or by searching for Gift Cards – they’re the very first result! They’re also available in the left-hand navigation bar of your SHOP.COM home page, in the “Gift Center” section, right below eGifts. That means customers don’t have to search hard to find them – and neither do you!
- They work for Market America-branded products: So if you’re giving them out as gifts, you’re sure to get some business in return! What you invest in a gift card, you’re likely to earn back in retail profit – and gain a new customer or additional business, too!
- They’re fast: It takes just a minute to purchase one. Whether you or your customers are purchasing one, it won’t take up much time. When it’s not a hassle or inconvenience, people enjoy shopping and buying!
- They’re available in five denominations: From $5.00 to $100.00, you can pick up a SHOP.COM gift card in the perfect amount. That allows you to customize how much you (or your customers) want to give. For example, you could send out $5.00 Gift Cards as a way to show customer appreciation and bring business back to your site – without spending too much!
The more your customers give SHOP.COM Gift Cards as gifts, the more business comes back to your SHOP.COM site. Every SHOP.COM Gift Card you buy is an investment in your Shopping Annuity. So be sure you let your customers know that there’s an easy way to take the stress out of their holiday shopping lists. All they have to do is pick up a SHOP.COM Gift Card, and it will be sent right to their intended recipients! There aren’t even shipping charges – it’s all digital!
Get the word out! Share this great video across your social networks to let your customers know that SHOP.COM now offers gift cards! It’s just 17 seconds – so watching it takes roughly the same amount of time as buying a Gift Card on SHOP! Check it out on ma’s YouTube channel.
What will you buy with a SHOP.COM Gift Card?

We are having a display at a local craft show this weekend and having a drawing for a Shop.com gift certificate!! Anything to bring in new customers.
Great idea, Jan! We’d love to know how the drawing worked out. Tell us all about it on our Facebook page!
The YouTube video says the cards can be used on ANY OF THE MILLIONS OF PRODUCTS AVAILABLE ON SHOP.COM. But the write up above says they are only available on Market America Branded products. Can you please clarify? If a customer thinks her recipient can use ot at kohl’s and later finds out she can’t, that could deter people.
Thank you.
Hi Sheila!
That’s a great questions. Right now, SHOP.COM Gift Cards can only be used for Market America-branded products on SHOP.COM. We are in the process of enabling these Gift Cards to work on all OneCart Partner Products, but that functionality is not yet available. As more products become eligible for SHOP.COM Gift Card redemption, we’ll be sure to let you know here – so stay tuned!
Looking at marketing the Shop.Com Gift Cards and I am concerned about the use of the card. Can the Shop.Com Gift Cards be used at any of our Partner Stores? If so, where can I get a List of the Partner Store that will accept the Shop.Com Gift Cards. My focus is on local Weddings and Baby Showers, where my projected customers will want to shop and use the Shop.Com Gift Cards to make purchases for all types of Gift Ideas.
