Red Letter Days launches first ever range of online gift cards

08 May 2007

Red Letter Days, the UK's original experiences company, leads the field again with the launch of its first ever range of online gift cards. As the only UK experiences company to offer gift cards online, the company continues to develop and extend the flexibility of its product offering.

"The move in online gifts cards was a natural development for us," said Zachary Soreff, Director of Sales and Marketing at Red Letter Days. "Gift cards are fast becoming a very popular and exciting gift-giving medium and we are committed to consistently delivering new and flexible ways for our customer to buy and use our product. With first day sales generating thousands of pounds, it has been an instant success with both our consumer and corporate customers."

The cards, available at nine price levels, from £50 to £1,000, offer at least 50 unforgettable options per card. Renowned for first class customer service and the smoothest hassle-free customer journey in the experiences market, Red Letter Days gives the customer the opportunity to choose their experience online and book immediately.

For a £50 gift card, the choice includes rock climbing and wakeboarding, and for:

  • £100 - light aircraft flights and recording studio sessions
  • £200 - hot air ballooning and jousting
  • £500 – a luxury health spa break for two and Ferrari driving
  • £1000 - a Champagne weekend in France for two and a trip on the Orient-Express

The cards are presented in a customisable greeting card and posted free of charge and can be used as credit towards any of the Red Letter Days experiences or gifts.
