Gifting has long been a part of the corporate tradition. In <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/blog\/launch-of-the-grabgifts-certified-partner-programme\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southeast Asia, the market for gift cards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> sees no sign of slowing down; it will grow from USD6.6 billion in 2021 to USD12 billion in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many brands have tried going beyond the usual discount to offer rewards and incentives to customers. With the pandemic-induced digitalisation, more companies have also adopted virtual vouchers to complement their customers\u2019 digital purchases and payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, ensuring each gift appeals to each receiver is often tricky. Coming up with well-received gifts for hundreds, if not thousands of customers, is trickier for marketers. To make gifting more appealable, we\u2019ve rolled out GrabGifts, an exciting new way for marketing leaders to approach their digital voucher programme.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are GrabGifts and how can you use them?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GrabGifts are fixed-value digital vouchers that customers can redeem across Grab\u2019s core services, such as Transport, Food, Mart, and Express. These vouchers are practical additions to any company\u2019s marketing toolbox to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">impact on the ROI and overall success of marketing campaigns. You can use them to create interest in a product, sign up for a service, visit a physical location, or others, to ultimately boost your marketing efforts and your bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marketers can bring joy to new and existing customers by using GrabGifts. By giving out practical and personalised gifts, marketing teams can incentivise and delight prospective customers, drive engagement levels in marketing campaigns, and boost the footfall of upcoming events. Companies can also show appreciation for customers, employees, and partners, making it easier to build brand loyalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Give customers the power to choose.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ability to choose when and how to redeem GrabGifts is a key reason they attract different kinds of recipients. Giving out generic incentives or rewards does not really account for varying customer preferences. Many marketers also recognise that using merchant-limited vouchers can be wasteful as some customers simply lack the motivation to redeem them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With GrabGifts, the customer can select from Grab\u2019s transportation, food, and other services. Our app has 219 million downloads across Southeast Asia, which illustrates our services\u2019 far-reaching appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The redemption process is also flexible. Customers can access and claim their GrabGifts vouchers whenever they make a booking on the app. We also direct the recipient to redeem the vouchers to ensure they benefit from it in the way they prefer. With the ease of redemption, customers are more likely to claim and enjoy GrabGifts vouchers than merchant-specific vouchers or physical gift hampers, making your marketing campaign more sustainable and valuable to customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recipients who are not yet on Grab can simply download the app to redeem their vouchers, which only takes a few minutes to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Customise your gifts.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As many marketing leaders may know, finding personalizable rewards can be difficult and expensive. But with GrabGifts, you can easily customise the gifting experience to convey your brands intentions and connect to customers better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Companies can send Grab digital vouchers for any occasion, including celebrating customers\u2019 life events and milestones, saying thank you, inviting new customers, acknowledging patrons and the list goes on. Marketing teams can even add a personal message to create a more engaging and unique experience for the recipient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marketing leaders can also control the gift-giving process by customising the location, time, and service allowed with each voucher. They can select from various denominations to match their marketing campaign budgets while giving something of value and practical use to each customer. Simply, marketers can make their campaigns function more optimally to meet their campaign expectations while satisfying and providing more value to the recipients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Distribute gifts quickly.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traditionally, marketing teams handed out gift baskets or vouchers physically, spending man hours and resources that could have been spent on more strategic marketing initiatives. With GrabGifts, everything happens digitally\u2014marketers can complete their purchase in just a few clicks and quickly distribute the vouchers by sending a unique code to each of the intended recipients\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With customisation coupled with easy distribution, marketing teams can gift customers across markets and campaigns, as GrabGifts are available to app users in over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/press\/others\/grab-expands-on-demand-gifting-capability-beyond-local-borders-to-over-100-southeast-asian-cities\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">100 Southeast Asian cities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
