Here are a few great reasons to join the Shop The Bridge merchant network!

• Gift cards are an $8 billion industry in Canada and growing. Gift cards are the number one gifting request for 21 years running, with 50% of gift cards being sold over the winter holidays. 67% of people prefer a multi-store gift card to single retailer alternatives.
• Gift cards are the lowest cost new customer acquisition tool. Up to 80% of consumers visit a new place because they received a gift card. On average, consumers overspend 50-70% of the gift card value when they redeem.
• The Shop The Bridge gift card program is marketed in partnership by the Town of Bracebridge and the Downtown Bracebridge BIA to increase traffic to Bracebridge businesses. You do not need to do any promotion to participate as a merchant.
• Shop The Bridge gift cards are an easy way to promote our community and encourage residents and visitors to discover all that Bracebridge has to offer.
• It is quick and easy to register and redeem as a Shop The Bridge merchant!

Once a business registers for the gift card program, a representative from AnyCard will be in touch to obtain banking information.

Settlement occurs weekly on Mondays and funds are automatically deposited to the merchant’s bank account provided.

A processing fee of 5% will be applied to each redemption transaction and will be deducted from the amount payable to the merchant. For example, on a gift card redemption of $100, the merchant would receive $95 and AnyCard would retain $5.

Participating businesses will get access to an online account with AnyCard where they can view their lifetime redemption history.
