Sharper Image to take gift cards again

March 07th, 2008 | Category: Marketing and Advertising

Perhaps there is some light in the gloomy profitable world. Sharper Image, which has filed for Chapter 11, will start to take gift cards again. There will be some restrictions on the way the cards can be used, but that is better than the preceding option — which was that they would be worthless.

According to the AP, “In a statement, the company explained that a customer holding a $25 gift card could only use it to buy at least $50

worth of items.” So, the management at Sharper Image wants customers to put some cash into their purchases. that rules out shoppers who simply want to get goodies at a cost of $25 without putting anything into the struggling retailers bank explanation.

Christmas in March. Sort of.
