Then, when a purchase has been made that meets the promotion, just go into SpaBoom and create a new GC on your GCs tab. Select type "retail" and you'll be able to choose your design and either print or email it to your client -- no fees charged! I hope that helps -- have a good holiday! Denise,

Our current special is purchase $100 total of massage therapy and/or specialty service GC's and get a free $20 GC for any service we offer, but I can't make that translate into my SpaBoom acct.

Over the weekend I had added a gift with purchase to the main page on my website which was the $100 GC for a $20 free gift. I had listed it as in store only since I didn't know it could be done on the website. Well, tonight I changed it as you described. Hopefully, that will bring in some more business. Thanks so much.

You certainly can — the message can be whatever you'd like, so you can put in something that suggests they use it as a bonus present.

I want to know if there is a way that if we offer a free $20 GC with a $100 purchase, can we entice the client to purchase a $200 GC with a free $50 GC, BUT but 2 separate $100 gift cards. My idea for this is that if a client goes online to purchase a gift card for one friend and decides to do the $100 promo... maybe they would then say, "Oh ya' know... I can also get my other friend one, and if I do, I get an extra $10 in GC?" I know we can do two separate offers, but that would still only allow you to have one GC for $200 to get the $50. It would not let you purchase two separate $100 GC's to get the $50. Any ideas or would it just not work? While we were on the call today, I asked a question that didn't get answered quite correctly.
