KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 4, 2024 ~ Gift Card Market Launches Revolutionary Platform for Local Businesses
The founders of Gift Card Market, Brett and Nicole Glass, have announced the launch of their groundbreaking platform designed to simplify the process of sending gift cards to local businesses. With over 5 million restaurants, spas, and salons available on the platform, consumers can now easily send gift cards to their friends and family via text or email.
Prior to the launch of Gift Card Market, consumers faced challenges in finding gift cards for their favorite local businesses in one convenient location. This new platform overcomes those obstacles by providing access to virtually all restaurants, spas, and salons in a community. It then enables users to easily purchase and send gift cards via text directly to a known contact, making the experience secure and meaningful.
What sets Gift Card Market apart is its focus on supporting local businesses. By providing a marketplace of over 5 million local establishments, the platform allows users to "Gift Local". The entire process - from selecting the gift card to sending it - is streamlined for ease of use, giving both consumers and businesses a powerful tool to drive local commerce.

According to Brett Glass, Founder and CEO of Gift Card Market, "Consumers prefer to send gift cards for the amazing local restaurants that are the fabric of our communities. They want a quick and easy way to deliver these gifts through a text message within an existing thread to their loved ones." This new "In the Moment" gifting capability not only allows for instant gifting but also drives traffic to local businesses.
With multiple patents pending, this new technology represents a significant evolution from traditional gift card platforms that often struggle with accommodating local choices. Gift Card Market has developed a dynamic curation engine that customizes gift card options based on inputs from the purchaser.
The market for gift cards is already worth $190 billion and continues to grow. By focusing on local businesses, Gift Card Market taps into an under-served portion of this market, allowing consumers to easily support their favorite restaurants and spas while driving economic growth in their communities.
The Glasses are leading the charge in FinTech with Gift Card Market, empowering consumers to invest directly in their communities. Nicole Glass, President of Gift Card Market, stated, "Consumers equate food with love, and sending someone you care about to a beloved local gem holds more significance than a typical gift card."

The platform's technological backbone is supported by 27Global, a respected technology consulting firm with a proven track record of building scalable and reliable platforms. Their expertise ensures that Gift Card Market delivers a seamless experience for both users and businesses, powered by the AWS cloud.
To showcase their revolutionary platform, Gift Card Market and 27Global will be attending the Retail Gift Card Association's 2024 Forum from October 7-9 in San Diego. The teams will be available to demonstrate and discuss the platform with attendees.
With the launch of Gift Card Market, consumers now have an easy and convenient way to support their favorite local businesses while also giving meaningful gifts to their loved ones. This innovative platform is set to revolutionize the gift card industry and drive economic growth in communities across the country.
