Through the Buyatab platform, Home Hardware’s upcoming digital gift card program will be the first of its kind to launch in the Canadian hardware industry.
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) March 03, 2016
Buyatab announces that Home Hardware Stores Limited now offers digital gift cards (“eGift cards”) for online purchase through a new partnership with Buyatab Online Inc., an international provider of eGift cards. This partnership allows Home Hardware’s customers the convenience of ordering and receiving gift cards online instantaneously.
The eGift program was created by Home Hardware in response to consumer demand which revealed a need for a digital option in the Canadian hardware market. Consumer shopping habits and patterns are evolving quickly as technology enables new, faster, easier and convenient channels of purchasing.
“Home Hardware customers expect us to respond and engage in these new methods of shopping,” says Bruce Hammer, Retail Payment Services Manager, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “The eGift Cards are another way for our customers to give or receive something special.”
With nearly 1,100 independently Dealer-owned locations, it’s vital that the eGift offering is both flexible and secure for Home Hardware customers and operators.
“Consumers want a secure gift option that is reliable and easily accessible,” says Matias Marquez, Founder and COO of Buyatab. “We’re excited to be a part of this momentous next step for Home Hardware and the beginning of something new for the hardware industry in Canada.”
EGift cards purchases can be made online at homehardware.ca in both French and English. The digital cards will be redeemable at any Home location with the option of purchasing physical cards still available to customers.
