How to Order Employee Gift Certificates

Turkeys: A mid-range size turkey (16-18 lbs., costing $15-$20) should be sufficient for an average size family gathering. Plan on about one-pound raw weight per person. Also, be aware that during the holidays turkeys are put on sale, often with very low prices. This November-December average retail feature prices are expected to be in the $.79 to $.99/lb range. This means that our $15 certificate could get a turkey 15-19 lbs (or even larger if feature prices are lower, as they often are), large enough for all but the largest family gatherings.

Hams: Gift certificates for $20.00 should be sufficient for hams large enough for average size families.

Steaks: Choice grade steaks normally cost $8-$12/lb. Order $25-$35 certificates for an average size family.

Many companies order larger sizes to show their more generous side and to be sure larger families will have enough. On the other hand, if your budget is limited the recipients can use smaller gift certificates and pay the difference themselves at the cash register if they need a larger product.

At virtually any supermarket in the U.S.A.

They are good for any brand in any store. This is stated clearly on the front and back of all gift certificates, along with our telephone number should the store manager have any questions about this policy.

Our gift certificates are perfect for your situation! They can be redeemed at any supermarket anywhere in the U.S.A. The certificates are good on any brand.

This is rare, but we can help. Sometimes a cashier unfamiliar with our program will deny the certificate. Asking to talk to the store manager resolves the problem in most cases. But if not, a quick call to us almost always does. (Our phone number is on the back of all our gift certificates.) We will talk to the store manager, resolve his concerns, and hopefully the certificate holder can walk out with his product without any embarassment.

To help prevent this problem we extensively pre-sell the program to all major supermarket chains in the U.S.A. each year and provide them written instructions they can use to educate new cashiers. After more than 20 years of experience working with us most retailers are very cooperative.
