Talk in the market is that some of the more established gift card suppliers are beginning to see a slowdown in their rapid growth experienced over the last few years. So many businesses now use gift cards for so many applications, and the number of options has grown so significantly, that these suppliers could be facing a period of slower growth and greater competition. The big advantage goes not only to suppliers with desirable products, but also with good margins to offer the various marketing services agencies that sell these programs to end-users.
