SmallGyfts is a referral-marketing platform for local businesses that redirects your marketing dollars to your customers and community instead of ads — lower costs, better results, bigger impact.
Start free. Upgrade as you grow. No contract.
Grow your business by thanking customers with small donations to local causes to earn warm referrals from a community of passionate advocates who want your business to succeed because when you win, the community wins.
Choose the path that fits your role.

You just finished an HVAC install. Your technician closes the job in your system. Within minutes, the homeowner gets a digital thank-you card by email — automatically.
Before you leave, you also hand them a physical concierge card and a couple of referral cards.
When they scan the code on the back of the card, you surprise them with a $10 donation they can give to their favorite cause. They choose their church. That Sunday, they causally tell everyone they talked to about the surprised donation they got from your business. Your business is also listed in the church bulletin. When someone at that church needs HVAC work, guess who they call?
Five days later, they get a friendly check-in email. Two weeks in, they leave a five-star review after a gentle automated prompt. A month later they get a suggestion about your annual maintenance package. 90 days later they get a reminder for a fall/winter prep or spring/summer tune up.
A month later, the homeowner needs a plumber. Instead of searching online, they use your concierge card to check the partners in your network and find a couple of trusted plumbers already part of the community.
That plumber that got a new customer because they are a part of your network, guess who they recommend to their customers who are looking for HVAC help?
Their next-door neighbor mentions their furnace is acting up. The homeowner hands them one of your referral cards: “Call these guys. They did my install and gave me this card.” That neighbor calls you — already holding your card in their hand, ready to buy.
One job turned into a review, a community connection, a new customer, new referrals, and positive visibility in your community. All automated.
What is SmallGyfts
SmallGyfts turns good customers into repeat buyers and passionate advocates for your business.
We provide a customer loyalty, appreciation, referral, retention, and acquisition system paired with programmable reward cards that work for you, on autopilot.
You set it. It does your marketing. It tracks, rewards, follows up, gives back, and tells your community about you, while you run your business.
Simply hand your customers one or more cards after they buy your products or services.
That's it. SmallGyfts automates the rest.
How it works
The front of the card rewards customers with real cash they can only spend by coming back. (Repeat Business)
Customers can also share the card with friends, family, and neighbors who need what you offer, bringing you new customers. (Warm Referrals)
The back of the card allows the customer to check in with your business to access your deals. This also kicks off your automation.
If you choose to offer it, customers can also direct a donation from your business to their favorite cause. That cause and its supporters will then learn about you and promote your business. (Community Visibility)
Every dollar you spend either brings someone back to buy again or puts your name in front of people who trust the person who recommended you. (Real Results)
Why it works
The card gives customers something tangible to encourage them to come back and buy again. They carry it in their wallet because it feels like real money they don't want to waste.
Happy customers share the cards with friends, family, and neighbors, bringing you warm referrals from people they already trust.
When a customer redeems the donation for a local cause, that entire community hears your name in a positive context. That's visibility no ad can buy.
You see the results as customers bring cards back to redeem their cash, and new customers show up because they heard positive things about you.

Make it easy for them to come back, share your name with friends and family, and spread the word about your business through their extended networks.
SmallGyfts 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.
