Did you know that over 11 million small and mid-sized businesses use the grocery store to purchase gift cards for business purposes? Many brands cringe at that notion, esp. since they provide a greater discount on their gift card pricing to Third Party providers than what they typically provide the incentive B2B marketplace. NGC is here to protect your discount for B2B uses. We work at a grassroots level to educate the small business community that it’s more convenient to order through our corporate ordering portal…which leaves more margin in our retailer partners’ pockets.
