Let them eat cake.

Christmas 2020 is going to be unlike any other Christmas in most of our lifetimes. With the Covid-19 pandemic still seeing many countries facing a ‘lockdown’ or at least doing their best to control the spread of the virus, there is going to be limited opportunity for companies to celebrate with employees. So how can you go about rewarding your hardworking staff?

We have the perfect solution: give the gift of choice. If they want to spend their prepaid money on food for their family, so be it. If John from IT said his husband didn’t have time to make a Christmas cake this year, let him be the hero. If Kath from accounts looks like she’s worn a hole in her favourite slogan tee, she can order a new one, of her choosing.

Treat them. As equals.

It’s great, after such a tough year, to want to treat your staff. So well done you for even reading this! Everyone could do with a little cheering up. Remember how in our teens nothing anyone could get would be what we really wanted? And how your Mum would tell you off for saying, “I’d rather just have the money”? This year, it is more than likely that your team will be feeling like this. So our prepaid e-gift cards mean you have the privilege of giving them what they really want – the chance to choose it themselves. It means each team member gets the same thing, yes. This means greater equality and greater choice.

Taking the secret out of Santa

Despite the pandemic being described as a great leveller, the effects of it have been devastating for some individuals. Internally, your teams might view Nadia’s year as successful: Her comms team have written an award-winning pandemic-response plan. However, whichever member of the team gets her in a secret Santa could be blissfully unaware that her partner’s restaurant was forced to close, resulting in redundancies. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to get her an insensitive gift, in this harshest of years? Orchestrating a virtual secret Santa means protecting your staff from transmitting the virus. Issue them all with a virtual gift card and they can purchase their own silly gift. We think toilet roll companies will – pardon the pun – clean up!

Good, clean fun

The Christmas party is notoriously a place for drunk colleagues to make embarrassing confessions, for things to get messy. But this year, mess is the last thing people want. What they want is respect, autonomy and reassurance. We can send out your gift as a virtual card, so nothing has actually touched any physical hands. Your staff can be reassured that their health and safety is paramount and you are listening.

Positive brand sentiment

Giving a gift basket for two when someone’s relationship has broken down due to the pandemic stress could leave a bitter taste in someone’s mouth, in what has been an unprecedented year. However, a branded, pre-paid card allowing them to spend a designated sum on something they want or need will have the opposite effect. When they see your logo as they select their spend, it will increase positive sentiment and loyalty. You could be getting them out of a tight spot, or helping them to feed the family. And, as the marketing message from old says – that is priceless!
