How to Gift a Movie Experience?

As far as gifts go, people tend in terms of tangible items such as books, watches, music and so on. Gifting an experience is a unique gift option which is catching on nowadays. A gift experience can be anything – a meal, a trip, or a movie that’s covered by a gift voucher.

How the Woohoo.in Movie-Gift-Experience works?

Your gift recipient will receive a beautifully packaged PVR Cinemas gift card, along with a personal message from you. The message makes the gift ultra special – you can squeeze in all your sentiments into it. The stylish gift package will contain a gift card with a unique barcode and magnetic strip. The value you’ve purchased will have been loaded on the card – all that your recipient has to do is swipe the card at the theater.

The package will also contain information on how the card can be used, along with the card’s validity. Your PVR gift card can be used not just to pay for the movie, but also to make purchases at the movie café. So, make it as generous a gift as possible to enable your recipients to enjoy themselves fully.

A Movie Experience can be a Great Gift!

For example, if your parents’ silver jubilee wedding anniversary is coming up, wouldn’t it be wonderful to gift them a great movie experience? Your parents can visit the theater, select the movie or movies that they want to watch, and enjoy each other’s company to the fullest. They can also enjoy in-theatre luxuries such as being served tidbits from the café, and order for snacks while watching the movie. They will remember their movie experience fondly every time they think of your gift. For you, it’s just a matter of purchasing the gift card online at Woohoo.in.

A Movie Experience is appropriate for anyone!

This is a great gift option even for corporate organizations, when it comes to gifting specific employees as part of employee reward schemes. Since it’s the gift recipient who chooses which movie to watch, a movie experience is an appropriate gift even for clients. Think of this option also for your customers, friends, and family members.

A Movie Experience is special, even as a generic gift!

A movie experience makes for a memorable gift that people always remember for the emotions it generates. Still, it is a generic gift, because what you’re gifting is the actual experience itself, and there’s nothing personal about that. The special aspect comes from what the experience means to the couple or group of friends who enjoy the movie. People quickly forget who gifted them which book or CD, but they don’t easily forget experiences.

The smart new way of gifting takes off in India

Responding to a consumer survey on gifting, a young professional in Gurgaon said: “I’ve always loved buying gifts for others, be it my father, mother, brother, colleagues or friends. But I always found it strange that they never used or seemed to enjoy my gifts! Earlier, I blamed it on their weird taste, but when my boyfriend started doing the same, I couldn’t con myself any more. Now, I play safe and get everyone gift cards instead. So they can choose whatever product they want to buy and I get to see them enjoy it. That’s happiness for both parties.” The young lady is not alone in her happiness. Owing to the new gifting trend that has emerged across the country, gift cards from leading brands are now sold from stores and portals in more than 150 towns and cities and can be redeemed across more than 2,000 premium brand stores. It’s not just different tastes that drive the demand for gift cards. It’s also a question of saving time. Not planning gift purchases in time problem across the world, and India is no different. Gifting is a last-day activity, with more than 70 per cent Indians doing their gift shopping on the last day. With gift cards, there’s help at hand. Gift card usage happens on multiple occasions and for multiple reasons. It could be for gifting to one’s near and dear ones, a way of showing appreciation to team members, a convenient way of managing large corporate staff programmes or simply a way to give children the freedom to buy what they want (without the parents going mad with the choosing process). The late CK Prahlad used to say India could be thought of as a kaleidoscope. With each small twist, India shows up differently. If we focus on one face or angle, we miss a thousand others. With the introduction of gift cards, the big picture is never lost. In India, brands across consumption categories have launched gift card programmes. These include players like Trent-Landmark, Titan, Peter England, Fastrack, Van Heusen, Puma, Raymond, Flipkart, PVR Cinemas, TTK Prestige and Hidesign. And consumers across age groups are biting the bullet. Gift cards have become a preferred option with both brands and consumers for the following reasons: 1. They are convenient to use; 2. They are secure across the desired set of brand outlets; 3. They offer versatile program flexibility; 4. They are attractive in design and offer good badge value in the wallet; and 5. They enhance the association of the brand with gifting. Market research shows that 88 per cent of Indian retail consumers are aware of the concept of gift cards. When questioned, 78 per cent evinced interest in buying such cards—thus making it that much easier for brands to promote their gift card programs to consumers.
