MARCH 2020 NEWSLETTER
Spring is a season of new beginnings. This spring, however, is different. The spread of Coronavirus has not just impacted businesses and economies but also our everyday lives. During this testing time, let’s not forget, spring isn’t just a season. Spring is also the idea of rebirth, rejuvenation and renewal. Together, mankind will overcome these tough times and spring back to life.
Our gift card launches this month are in line with this idea of spring, the season that brings hope that there will soon be sunshine in our lives.

Driving Brand Insistence with QwikGiftAPIx
Top of the mind brand recall is the first and the most important milestone in achieving brand insistence. But it is not enough. Easy accessibility to the brand goes a long way in earning the loyalty of customers. While having gift cards can lead to an increase in brand awareness, it is of little use unless it is available on all the right channels.
As the scale of gift card distribution increases, it becomes difficult for these channels to manage such extensive catalogues and it calls for putting in a lot of additional effort. Therefore, these channels prefer live integrations with merchant partners for gift card distribution.
QwikGiftAPIx enables merchants for the real-time distribution of gift cards. This Application Programming Interface (API) service today supports the activation of all gift cards processed by Qwikcilver in India and other geographies. The API offers easy and secure integration options to gift card resellers and rewards catalogues operators interested in procuring gift cards. Thus, today QwikGiftAPIx is the one-stop API solution for both Merchants (looking to distribute gift cards), and Resellers (looking to procure/ sell gift cards for their channels).
