Downtown Evansville e-Gift Card Launches

New e-Gift Card functions at 20+ participating Downtown businesses

The Downtown Evansville Economic Improvement District (EID) has launched a Downtown Evansville e-Gift Card in partnership with Yiftee, a company that works with over 600 communities in creating custom-branded gift card programs to keep consumer spending local.

Upon purchase, Downtown Evansville e-Gift Cards are promptly delivered via email or text, allowing for instant gifting and spending. The digital gift cards are exclusively redeemable at participating businesses within the EID boundaries.The initiative offers a cost-effective avenue for businesses to enhance foot traffic and sales. According to Yiftee, 51% of cardholders try new places and spend 30% more than the card’s value.

Participating locations include: Angelo’s, Bargetown Market, Birdie’s, Emerald Design, First House Salon, Grateful Threads Fabric & Furnishings, Hometown Nutrition Evansville, Joe Brewski, Just Rennie’s Cookie Co., Memo, Pangea Pizzeria, Patsy Hartigan’s Irish Pub, Piece of Cake, Posh on Main, River City Coffee + Goods, River Kitty Cat Café, Roger’s Academy of Hair Design, Samuel’s, Second Language, Sixth + Zero, The Secret Garden, and Your Brother’s Bookstore, with more businesses joining every day.

Businesses retain all the funds from the gift cards.“Year-round we talk about the economic impact of shopping local, and we’re taking it to the next level with our new Downtown Evansville e-Gift Card. By purchasing an e-gift card, you’re not just giving a gift; you’re investing in our neighborhood,” said Adam Trinkel, executive director, EID.With the holiday season underway, companies are invited to purchase e-gift card bulk orders for company gifting. This convenient solution allows businesses to easily reward employees, clients, and partners with the gift of choice while also supporting our local economy.To purchase a Downtown Evansville e-Gift Card or for more information, visit downtownevansville.com/egiftcard.
