Why digital vouchers are your secret weapon"},"content":{"rendered":"

It\u2019s no secret that younger consumers are more receptive to innovative shopping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to branded payments provider Blackhawk Network, <\/span>41% percent of Gen Z consumers and 39% of Millennials<\/span><\/a> surveyed had purchased digital vouchers at least once every three months. This is in contrast with Gen X and Baby Boomers, with <\/span>only 26% and 14% of the respondents respectively<\/span><\/a> having purchased digital vouchers at least once in the last three months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Gen Z\u2019s spending power projected to hit <\/span>over three trillion dollars by 2030<\/span><\/a>, there\u2019s no better time than the present to increase brand awareness among Zoomers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, digital vouchers can even provide deeper insights into your market\u2019s spending patterns, and their personalisation features make it an excellent tool for boosting morale in the workforce. Here\u2019s a closer look on why digital vouchers are your secret weapon to reaching out to Gen Zs.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Accessibility and ease of use\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Digital vouchers are a lot more accessible than other existing rewards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike physical gift cards, there\u2019s no need to coordinate logistics for shipping and storage for physical products. Users now have the convenience of making transactions without needing a physical card, which increases usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Climate conscious consumers will appreciate digital vouchers\u2019 sustainability as opposed to non-recyclable plastic gift cards or single-use gift products. Digital vouchers are also more attractive than generic physical item giveaways. Recipients have more choices to redeem their gifts, and don\u2019t have to settle for products that don\u2019t fit their lifestyle needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital vouchers are also simple to use, especially for Gen Zs, who have basically grown up with online commerce platforms. They\u2019re just as simple to roll out at scale. Organisations can purchase vouchers in online, in bulk, in just a few clicks. All there\u2019s left to do is integrate vouchers into new or existing marketing campaigns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The process of adding a code to the digital wallet or platform of choice and redeeming it quickly across products and services is the perfect proposition for busy young professionals. The wide range of products and services available to voucher users is another draw. Users can redeem their services from any location, regardless of their proximity to the merchant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Get to know your users even better\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s never been an easier way to calculate return on investment on a campaign than through digital vouchers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every dollar put into digital vouchers as rewards can be tracked by the hosting platform. Digital vouchers provide information about how attractive or unattractive rewards can be for a market, and provide quantifiable data that is imperative for calculating ROI and accurate campaign reporting. This allows you to further narrow down your market\u2019s interests, and target them even more efficiently in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike cash rewards or physical gift cards, where spending tracking can be complicated or even non-existent, you can track your consumer\u2019s redemption habits in a matter of clicks. GrabGifts digital vouchers are also fully customisable for campaigns that need more refined controls. Marketers have options to set parameters for voucher use. Available parameters include specific locations, times, or product categories on the Grab mobile application. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Seamless use between devices and services<\/h2>\n

Digital vouchers that can be used for various services take even less thinkwork \u2013 a multi-platform voucher that can be used for more than one type of transaction is the ultimate convenience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than giving recipients a single-use voucher for one product or service, providing them with an incentivising experience that can be used on multiple services \u2013 from food deliveries to private hire car rides, and groceries \u2013 is more likely to encourage prompt use. This gives the individual flexibility in how to utilise their reward and provides maximum value to the user, which can be the biggest draw of a well-executed marketing campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital vouchers also offer an unmatched level of convenience, allowing for a smooth transition between devices. Once added to a user\u2019s digital wallet or platform of choice, vouchers can be accessed across devices where the app is downloaded \u2013 whether you\u2019re using a mobile device, or a tablet, accessing the app allows you to use any vouchers you have stored. This has made them increasingly desirable and popular among users. Users can make online shopping purchases on their tablet, then book a private hire car with their mobile device, without a hitch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
