FOUR GREAT REASONS GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE GREAT IDEAS

1. You Can Easily Stay on Budget

When you provide gift cards, it’s easier to stay on budget. You don’t have to worry about spending just a little bit more for something you see that would be “perfect” but outside your limit. With our Gift Certificates, you just decide on the appropriate amount and that’s it. It’s easier to keep to your budget because it’s sort of like having cash in your hand for a specific service.

2. Flexibility

Gift Certificates are flexible for the recipient, allowing him or her to choose what to buy. It takes away some of the anxiety associated with finding just the right gift. Who doesn’t like the freedom to get what they REALLY want? It’s a perfect way to provide a flexible gift that anyone can enjoy.

That flexibility also means that the recipient can choose an experience instead of a thing. That means a lot to someone who doesn’t want to buy things and prefers experiences instead.  Our Gift Certificates can include both!

Cash is more flexible, of course, but it is sometimes considered a little crass. If you want to offer flexibility without giving actual cash, a gift card is a good choice.

3. An Element of Thoughtfulness

Of course, many people decry Gift Certificates because they are so general. While getting a prepaid debit card or general gift card is very flexible, some people think they are impersonal.

Our Gift Certificates are the most personal gift all! Gift Certificates from COATES PORTRAIT DESIGN show that you’ve put some thought into it. Gift Certificates from COATES PORTRAIT DESIGN are perfect because they combine the flexibility of cash with the personalization that comes with a portrait session. You can be thoughtful and offer a flexible, meaningful gift at the same time.

Gift Certificates from COATES PORTRAIT DESIGN help people not procrastinate any longer and take action towards something they've always wanted.

4. Easy to Present Attractively

I love how easy it is to give a Gift Certificate. Wrapping presents can lead to messiness, as the presentation isn’t always great. Not so with a Gift Certificate from COATES PORTRAIT DESIGN. You can slip it into a beautiful holiday card and write a sincere note. We will package up your Gift Certificate in our complete Portrait Presentation Package.

No one is ever disappointed in receiving a Gift Certificate. Add a personal touch with a handwritten note and be choosy about where you get your Gift Certificate, and it will feel like a very personal gift, without all that comes with trying to find the right present.
