SELLERS – DON’T LET UNUSED GIFT CARDS GO TO WASTE. MONETISE IT.

Yes, Woohoo makes it possible for you to convert your unused gift cards into cash by giving you a platform to put it up for sale. All you need to do is to list your card on the “Buy / Sell Gift Cards” section in your Woohoo app. The listings are instant so you do not have to wait. Once your card is sold, you get the money directly in your bank account. Moreover, with the robust security system provided by Woohoo you can rest assured that the buyers are verified. Another feature that makes selling physical gift cards on the platform as hassle-free as selling e-gift cards is that you do not have to take the trouble of shipping your physical gift card to the buyer. Once you list your physical gift card on the Woohoo Buy / Sell platform, your physical gift card gets disabled and a new electronic version of the same (with the value and validity intact) is created, which can then be purchased by the buyers. At any point in time you could choose to de-list your gift card (if it has not been sold) and use it yourself.

BUYERS – GET THE BEST DEALS ON GIFT CARDS DIRECTLY FROM THE SELLERS

If you’re looking for gift cards at discounted prices, Woohoo would be your go-to destination. This innovative platform offers gift cards from brands like Woohoo, Lakme, Lifestyle, Arvind and Hidesign (many more are making their way as you read this) directly listed by the sellers at competitive prices. Of course, you’d have to be an early bird to catch the best deals before they’re gone!

Woohoo does the checks for you in the background to ensure you get what you see. In other words, the card value and validity are verified by Woohoo. Besides, once you purchase a gift card, the seller will no longer be able to use it. As for the delivery of the E-gift Card, it’s as instant as the click of your button. Once you’ve successfully made the payment for the gift card, it is electronically delivered to you that very instant. So you can go ahead and make your purchase without a moment’s hesitation.

Gift, gifting, e gift voucher, Woohoo app, gift cards, gift vouchers, e gift cardsIf you’re managing a team of people, you know team work is crucial for the success of any project. You value each member of your team; you share meals with them, watch cricket with them during breaks, enjoy your evening cup of coffee with them and celebrate their birthdays with them too! You know it, we know it and your team members know it– they are important to you.

What Would You Do For A Family Member’s Birthday?: Most people spend a minimum of 8 hours at work, and a maximum of anything up to 24 hours on occasion. Your team is your extended family, and there’s no two ways about it. So what would you do if it’s your brother or father’s birthday? Wouldn’t you get him something really nice? Yes, you would. That’s what families do.

Birthday Gift Cards Make The Best ‘No Headache’ Gifts: Think about it – if you have a team of 10 people, how much time would you be spending shopping for gifts? Imagine the time you would need to buy gifts for all your teammates. With gift cards and gift vouchers, you only save yourself the time and energy but also gift your team mates the ability to select what they want from over 100 top retail brands – all this from the comfort of your desk. With Woohoo.in, the gift cards superstore, all your gifting needs are met with just a few clicks.

Which Gift Cards Would Suit Your Team Member Best?: You’ve worked with him, you know him best. Is he a sharp dresser? Then consider gift cards from P N Rao, Marks & Spencer, Van Heusen, Shopper Stop and so on. Is he crazy about tech? How about a gift card from Croma, The Mobile Store or E-Zone? Loves watches? Think of Titan, Helios and more. You have plenty to choose from.

My boss and I took a job applicant to lunch, where we tried, with little success, to get him to open up about his experience and qualifications. Frustrated, my boss set his salad aside and proposed a specific and complex situation to the young man, then asked, “What would you do?”

The applicant hesitated, then, looking my boss straight in the eye, said, “Are you going to eat all those tomatoes?” #MakeAuntijiLaugh

Indians taking to gift cards over cash, physical gifts

As appeared on livemint.com by Rashmi Aich, on 25 May 2016.

——————————————————————————

Gift cards in many segments are gaining popularity as they offer flexibility, convenience and, choice to recipient

For her wedding in February this year, Nandana Das, 29, a Bengaluru-based communications professional, was happier with the gift cards she received for online and offline stores than the many cup and saucer sets and bedsheets. “Some gifts were of no use and also not as per my taste. Gift cards give me the flexibility to buy anytime, anything and from anywhere. It gives you the option to actually buy what you want,” she said.

Das is part of the growing tribe of Indians who prefer such cards over cash and personal gifts. According to a report by QwikCilver Solutions Pvt. Ltd, which runs gift card platform Woohoo, 54% of respondents in a study said they prefer giving gift cards. Such cards are available in both physical and digital formats, and are offered by e-commerce sites, banks and retail companies.

“Cash is seen as too impersonal. With a gift card, you can decide on a brand or an e-commerce platform and your loved one can decide the gift,” said Pratap T.P., co-founder and chief marketing officer, QwikCilver.

As it is going to be the wedding season in many parts of India, gift cards may be preferred. Bengaluru-based software professional Shilpi Sinha, who got married in November last year, said, “I prefer giving gift cards as they are more convenient to use and can be gifted and sent anywhere. At my wedding, most of the physical gifts I got were things I already had.”

Apart from online portals, brick-and-mortar stores are also seeing an increase in sale of gift cards. “The sale of offline stores through e-gift cards has increased from nil a few years back to 25% now,” said Pratap.

“One doesn’t need to carry the digital gift cards. And as most gift card purchases tend to happen at the last minute, it’s convenient to buy and send,” said Firoz Khan, founder and chief executive officer, GiftCardsIndia, a gift-card aggregator. The market for gift cards has grown 40-50% in the past 3 years and is set to grow further as more people are adopting it, he added.

Mint Money take

Although gift cards offer flexibility and choice, do remember to check the expiry date on them. Moreover, any left over amount won’t be returned.

For bank gift cards, the minimum amount you need to put in is usually Rs.500 and the maximum is Rs.50,000, though these limits vary. Then there are charges such as for issuance, and replacing a lost card. These can’t be transferred either.

So the next time you get a wedding invite, you may consider these cards over the wall clock you were planning to give.

6 Gifting Crimes

Not all gifts are kind, not all are useful. No matter given with whatever amount of love, some end up being hopeless. Have you been the culprit or victim of one of the below gifting crimes?

  1. How do I get inside this?

Not every dress is ‘One Size fits all’.  Many a times a good deal of money is gone down the drain due to fitting issues.

  1. Same Pinch!

You are rare, you are special. If you also prefer designer clothes, a copy around might be very disappointing!

  1. Where to keep this?

An odd furniture or a mismatched crockery set might just ruin any day! Should you really take the chance of gifting one such thing?

  1. Not my style..arghhhh.

If you don’t notice her style, you are at loss. And your gift is a waste!

  1. I see that small stain there, right there!

You might have spent a fortune on your gift but how embarrassing when you got to prove it, everything because of that small stain!

  1. I hate this!

Your reaction when you get something that you really hate and absolutely don’t need.

Taj Mahal – A Mausoleum of Love

Gift, gifting, e gift voucher, Woohoo app, gift cards, gift vouchers, e gift cards, gifts, gift ideas, taj mahal a mausoleum of love
While speaking of exorbitant gifts through history, let’s not forget the grandest gift of love in all time, the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal has been hailed as the everlasting embodiment of true love over centuries and with reason. This splendid memorial is constructed entirely of white marble and is the universally admired masterpieces of Mughal architecture. It’s a real treat to watch the mausoleum on a full moon day; the marble’s glow seems to be emanating from the undying love of the world’s greatest lovers – Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz.

A Mere Lifetime Of Love Wasn’t Enough

Mumtaz Mahal, a princess of Persian origin, was Emperor Shah Jahan’s first and only true love.  She died while giving birth to their 14th child at the relatively young age of 39. When she died, leaving him to face his cruel son Aurengzeb all alone, his thoughts did not turn towards fighting for his rights as emperor of a large kingdom. Rather, the heartbroken emperor threw himself into building a monument of love for his beloved wife.

Out Of Great Grief Was Born The Taj

The Taj is a mute testament to the depth of the emperor’s love, and the lengths to which he was willing to go to declare his love and devotion. It took 22 long years and the sweat-filled labor of 20,000 workers and craftsmen to finish this monument. The Taj Mahal cost the emperor 32 million Indian Rupees. Today, the Taj is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Close to 4 million visitors every year pay homage to this ever-lasting monument of love, hoping that its presence will bend Cupid’s arrows their way!

Get Her A Gift That Endures

The Taj endures everything from wars to the vagaries of nature. So must your love. Show your love through a Woohoo.in gift card for the most enduring symbols of love – diamonds and gold from Tanishq or Joyalukkas. Elegantly crafted gold and diamond jewellery will be your Taj Mahal to her, completely her own; and something that will endure and will be passed on for generations.
