Quick to Procure
When talking about last minute eGift Cards for employees and/or clients, the order and delivery window is short. These aren’t planned gifts ordered in September or October, so there’s most likely no time to send these purchases through a formal procurement process. With eGift cards there’s no need to because these purchases are:
- Flexible enough to meet any budget requirements, like signing thresholds or procurement caps
- Easy to select and pay for with credit cards or payment terms
- Quick to order and deliver instantly via email or text

Easy to Deliver
Last minute egift cards need to be easy to deliver. Skip the stress of physical gifts that need to be ordered and shipped. Egift cards can be delivered instantly via email or text.
This makes them great for last minute gifts for:
- Dispersed workforces trying to avoid shipping fees and the holiday delivery rush
- Remote workforces that can't get together for an in-person gifting experience
- Employers who need specific delivery on a day or time to plan around holiday schedules
When sending a last minute gift, you want to know it’s going to make it on time. EGifts cards are one way to guarantee that even last minute gifts make it on time. The ease of instant delivery differentiates from other last minute options, while still holding the value and personalization of a gift card.
Budget Compliant
While some are trying to avoid a procurement process, others are just trying to find holiday and year-end gifts that fit into this year’s budget. EGift cards provide the flexibility to do just that. Using these types of gifts allow for:
- Sender control over the denominations unlocking the ability to provide different values to different recipients
- Providing instant gratification for recipients while maintaining cost control
- Cut down on expenses of shipping with digital direct delivery
Budget compliance is critical to business operations, even when it comes to holiday gifting. eGift cards provide flexibility to meet any budget, ensuring quick and on-time delivery for almost any holiday timeline. The Engage2Reward platform offers a variety of gift card options that also fit any budget, including the Engage2Reward Choice Card, which allows the recipient to redeem the value of the eGift at their choice of over 250 retailers depending on their preference. This flexibility ensures value for both the sender and the recipient.
