Throughout November and December, gift card purchasers received reward coupons based on the overall gift card purchase amounts. Additionally, guests were given the opportunity to enter eight sweepstakes drawings held weekly between November 18 and January 8.
T.G.I. Friday’s Gift Cards provided a convenient gift-giving solution, and the opportunity to win big sweepstakes prizes over the 2003 holidays. The goal of the program was not only to sell gift cards during the busy holiday season, but to drive traffic (with the reward coupons) in January and February 2004.
