    Maximize Those New Gift Cards On National Shopping Holiday

    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) January 06, 2012

    The holidays are over, but consumers can still get in on deals by using their gift cards. Consumers will get more from all of those holiday gift cards by redeeming them on January 6-8, 2012, the newest shopping event of the holiday season, Gift Card Weekend (GCW).

    During GCW, gift card recipients can redeem their gift cards from participating retail partners to receive extra value through special deals posted on the GCW website that will be offered for that weekend only. Gift Card Weekend is presented by Gift Card Impressions of Kansas City, Mo., the Retail Gift Card Association, InComm and Ceridian Stored Value Solutions.

    GCW partners include national brands such as Sephora, Bass Pro Shops, Applebee’s, J.C. Penney Company, Inc., SpaFinder, Adidas and many more. Consumers around the country will be able to maximize their buying power both in person and online. The deals each retailer will offer during GCW are available at http://www.giftcardweekend.com.

    The period right after the holidays is actually an important time for retailers trying to get a clear picture of holiday sales. Retailers don’t recognize gift card revenue until the cards are redeemed. So a promotion such as GCW that encourages consumers to redeem cards not only helps consumers find bargains but also allows retailers to recognize sales in their holiday totals.

    For more information and updates on retail partners, consumers should go to http://www.giftcardweekend.com or "like" the Gift Card Weekend Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/GiftCardWeekend) or follow Gift Card Weekend on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GiftCardWeekend).
