Consider the benefits of offering Instant Gift Certificates on your website:

Convenience. For you, for your clients. You save staff time and last-minute, mad dashes to the post office with rush mail; they get to shop at their leisure, from their favorite computer, without ever getting in the car, cranking it up, filling the air with noxious gases and consuming ever-diminishing petroleum resources.

Using existing resources. Most spas already have a website in which they've invested time, energy, and cash. Monetizing that existing resource means you're making a smart business decision by making your website pitch in and work as hard as you do to generate income for your spa. You are, in effect, extending the life of a resource while improving your bottom line–not a bad way to minimize your carbon footprint and ensure your business thrives as well.

No petroleum distillates. The only petroleum distillate used while purchasing an Instant Gift Certificate to your spa involves the credit card of the gift purchaser–and they're only pulling it out of their wallet to get the number and expiration date off of it, not actually consuming it in any way as they seal the deal.

So, while you're thinking of ways to head in a greener direction when it comes to your business, know that you're already doing something significant by offering up Instant Gift Certificates.

Nice work, SpaBoomers!
