Help your visitors give the gift of choice this year – by launching your own quick and easy Gift Card Store. Check out Linkshare’s new Gift Card StoreFront Tool below. This is another one of those “gee, why hasn’t anyone thought of this before” tools. It just makes SO much sense! However be sure to see my warning below the image before you build your store.

Gift card sales are predicted to be even hotter this year, but due to the economy, many want gift cards they can use to buy practical necessities not luxury or traditional gift items. Also, I read an article that although people think of gift cards as last minute gifts they are being purchased much earlier than people would expect. So get those gift card stores up now!

From the new LinkShare Blog: “LinkShare’s Gift Card Storefront makes it easy for you to promote gift cards from your advertiser-partners to your users. Visitors to your storefront will see advertisers in a variety of categories and easily be able to navigate to the gift card page on an advertiser’s web site. You could think of a storefront as a big link.”WARNING: Some merchants DON’T PAY COMMISSION ON GIFT CARDS, or pay a reduced rate, so be sure to check each merchant’s policy before adding them to your store. Don’t just automatically add all your joined merchants.
