Book a demoSmallGyfts is a simple but superb one-stop-shop to boost loyalty and sales, and here comes my favorite part, to boost community support by connecting with passionate customers who love their community.
I highly recommend SmallGyfts for businesses looking to boost customer engagement and brand loyalty. Their gift cards, badges, and tags provide a unique way to encourage repeat business and generate referrals.
What if it was easy to build a supportive network, find great local businesses, and help your favorite cause? This is exactly what SmallGyfts does.
We help businesses improve their customer-care experience to build lasting relationships that lead to more referrals and a better reputation in their community.
Donation credits enable giving to local causes to increase your visibility throughout your community. You set the amount and customers choose where the donation goes.
Peel-and-stick tags to turn invoices, business cards, or promotional products from passive objects into active agents that bring customers back and drive referrals.
Physical, Agentic Rewards Cards with your branding that are programmable, reusable and rechargeable via the app.
Upload your logo or other branding to design your card. Set the cash value on the front to encourage repeat visits. Order your cards, then use the app to set the donation amount.
Customers redeem the cash value by returning the card when they come back to buy. No special equipment needed. Returned cards confirm your promotion is driving repeat visits.
Customers use the SmallGyfts app to select a local cause they care about. They scan the QR code on the back of the card to redeem. The donation credits move from your account to the cause they selected.
The Free tier has nothing to cancel — just stop using the account whenever. If you've subscribed to a paid plan (Business, Concierge, or Membership), you can cancel anytime with no contracts, no cancellation fees. Unused donation credits are refundable.
Yes. Donation credits that haven't been redeemed are 100% refundable. Donation fees are not refundable. Physical cards are non-refundable but reusable forever.
SmallGyfts handles all tax reporting and 1099 forms for local causes. Businesses simply purchase donation credits and deduct as a marketing expense.
SmallGyfts is built for home-service contractors. You design a branded reward card (digital or physical), hand it to customers after a job, and they can use the discount on their next visit or share the card with friends and neighbors. If you add the optional donation feature, each redemption sends a small donation from your business to a local cause the customer chooses, putting your name in front of churches, schools, and youth sports leagues without paying for ads. Free to start with digital cards. Physical cards start at $2 each in batches of 250.
Google Ads costs have risen 10 to 25 percent year over year and put you in a paid-bid auction against your competitors. SmallGyfts is a referral-and-retention alternative: arm your existing customers with branded reward cards that drive repeat visits and warm referrals. Jobber's 2026 Home Service Trends Report found that 59 percent of home-service business owners say referrals and repeat customers are their number one source of new work, ahead of digital ads. SmallGyfts gives that organic flow a system: a card to hand out, an automated 4-email follow-up sequence, and an optional community donation that keeps your name circulating even when the customer does not need you again for months.
Hand them something they can pass on. Every SmallGyfts card includes a discount the customer can use on their next visit AND can share with friends and family. When a customer shares the card and someone redeems it, you have earned a warm referral without paying per lead. If you add the optional donation feature, each redemption also sends a small contribution from your business to a local cause the customer picks. Customers share more often when a friend's redemption also helps their church, school, or favorite charity.
Standard referral programs give the customer a discount on their next purchase. That works for products bought monthly. It falls flat for home services, where you do not need a plumber, electrician, or HVAC tech again for months or years. A "$20 off your next service" coupon is meaningless if the next service is two years away. SmallGyfts solves the timing problem: the referral incentive can go to a local cause the customer cares about, so the value lands immediately and your business name keeps circulating in their community.
SmallGyfts automates the follow-up. When a card is sent or redeemed, an automated 4-email drip starts — welcome, follow-up, win-back — designed to keep your name in front of past customers without manual effort. On the Business plan ($149 a month), you can also push targeted offers to past visitors who scanned your card. No mailing list management, no copywriting from scratch.
Every SmallGyfts card carries a unique QR code tied to the customer it was issued to. When the card is scanned or shared and someone redeems it, the Impressions Dashboard (Business plan and up) shows which customer referred which new contact, when, and how often. You finally get attribution on referrals you used to lose track of.
Referral Rock and ReferralCandy are built around customer rewards (gift cards, discounts) and are mainly used by e-commerce brands. Angi Leads sells the same lead to 3-5 contractors at $30-100+ each. SmallGyfts is built for local home-service and brick-and-mortar businesses, where the customer does not need you again for months. The differentiator: the referral incentive can flow to a local cause instead of (or in addition to) the customer, so your business name keeps circulating in churches, schools, and community groups. Free to start, no monthly fee on the Free tier, and no per-lead or per-referral fee to SmallGyfts itself — you set the per-referral donation (typically $10-$50) and it goes to the cause the customer picks, not to us.
Yes. SmallGyfts is the only referral platform where the incentive can go to a local cause instead of (or alongside) the customer. When a card is redeemed, a donation flows from your business to a community organization the customer chooses — a church, school, food bank, animal shelter, or any cause they care about. The cause and its supporters start hearing your business name, which expands your reach beyond traditional ad targeting. Causes pay nothing to participate.
