Innovative I care Gift Cards Launched by Spafinder Wellness 365
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 29, 2014 -- Gift cards are generally given as expressions of celebration around holidays and special occasions, like birthdays, anniversaries or weddings. But what can we send those we love when they are facing tough challenges? Today, Spafinder Wellness 365™ has debuted a gift card collection meant to help answer that question—and need.
I care eGift Cards, which can be used at over 20,000 spas, salons, fitness and yoga studios and wellness locations in the Spafinder Wellness 365 Network, are meant for anyone experiencing the varied challenges of life, such as a death in the family, an illness like cancer, divorce, or loss of a job.
“The cards are a way to literally touch a loved one, often from afar,” said Mia Kyricos, chief brand officer of Spafinder Wellness 365. “We felt it was time there was a vehicle to transport that message of caring directly.”
The new gift cards can be purchased at spafinder.com and then printed or emailed for immediate delivery, along with a personal message. Card givers can choose from several attractive designs that convey nurturing or inspirational wishes.
While research from the National Retail Foundation indicates that 90 percent of Americans received a gift card in 2013, and 77 percent gave one, Spafinder Wellness 365 is the first to spearhead a gift card campaign intended to support wellbeing.
A percentage of the proceeds from each sale of the new I care Gift Cards will go to the non-profit Wellness for Cancer Educational Fund, further supporting a new Spafinder Wellness 365 partnership that aims to connect the vast cancer community with wellness and spa providers attuned to their needs. The program provides training and certification for spa and wellness locations, and helps those living with cancer—including friends, family and caregivers—easily find qualified “Cancer Aware” providers.
“We see our mission as that of connectors, and our new I care Gift Cards are an extension of that goal,” said Kyricos. “We hope this collection will help people give their loved ones a gift that truly comforts them, whenever they need it most.”
