How to Support Local Businesses in Carlsbad

Technology is a big part of everyday life. During the pandemic, technology has provided a bridge of communication, a way to work in virtual settings, and a new approach to everyday tasks. Online meetings, FaceTime, and Skype are now the norm. In addition to giving us a way to socialize, technology has given us new ways to think about shopping. Brick and mortar stores are still open, but online shopping has grown leaps and bounds during the past year. You can shop online for household goods, order groceries, pick out new clothes, and get your favorite foods delivered in a matter of hours. Gift giving has also evolved from what it once was. If you’re buying a present for a loved one that you can’t see in person, hopping online and getting something delivered can be the fastest and safest way to show someone that you care. While online shopping used to be a convenience we took for granted, nowadays it can be a lifeline for some of our everyday needs. The surge in e-commerce solutions has also changed the basic way that we do transactions. Online, you can pay using a prepaid account, an account tied to an online retailer, use your credit card or pay with a gift card. Carlsbad recently launched a brand new gift card incentive through Yiftee. For a limited time, you’ll be able to get rewarded for purchasing gift cards from Carlsbad vendors on GiftCarlsbad.

Yiftee is a unique platform that has been offering shoppers a consolidated place to purchase gift cards since they launched. The online hub is a one-stop-shop for gift cards from all your favorite retailers. With the help of the City of Carlsbad, the Carlsbad Village Association, Ready Carlsbad, and Visit Carlsbad, the GiftCarlsbad program is now up and running. By purchasing a gift card on Yiftee, you can be making customized online purchases in no time. The unique digital codes on each e-Gift Card make it easy to make purchases from your favorite vendors or send e-Gift Cards to friends and family. GiftCarlsbad is a unique limited-time program that allows you to support Carlsbad restaurants, shops, and local businesses. While supplies last, you can buy $25 in gift card value and receive another $5 bonus card for free. If you buy $40 from GiftCarlsbad, you will get a single $10 bonus card just for shopping, and $75 gets you a $25 bonus card. After you purchase an eGift card, you can store the digital redemption code right on your phone or print it out to show in-person.
