Create customized gift cards that have a secret value. This is patterned after Victoria Secret’s secret rewards program. The psychology behind it is that people get excited by the possibilities, almost like gambling. The value is unknown until the card is swiped by your credit card reader. The cards are loaded in the office with a value that you decide upon. The card amount doesn’t have any “cash value,” is only good for prescription glasses and can’t be used with insurance or any other offers. It is essentially a dollar discount off the purchase of prescription glasses. Our card is valued between $60-$200. Ours are loaded for $100 only, and we will have $150 and $200 cards that we will give to customers that buy multiple pairs of glasses every year, kind of a thank you. We decided on the $100 amount as people will expect the lowest amount and will be thrilled to find that they are getting $100, which in our office is about a 15% discount.
