SEPTEMBER 2019 NEWSLETTER

An exciting August has just sped by - filled with exciting events that made a mark in the Gift Card category. From the exciting Gifting Carnival powered by Qwikcilver that for the first time ever brought together the best retail brands under one roof and also listed exclusive offers on their Gift Cards. From the Carnival to the Conclave; from India to Singapore. The category defining event - The Gift Card Conclave was held in Singapore for the very first time. Bringing together doyens from the retail industry in South East Asia, the conclave saw a lively exchange of concepts and ideas aimed at the category. By now, you would be used to seeing new launches from Qwikcilver every single month and this month is no different - with the launch of Quikr and PayPal gift card stores.
We hope you like what we have put together for you in this edition of the Qwikcilver newsletter. As always, bouquets and brickbats are welcome!
