SmallGyfts — Turn Happy Customers Into Repeat Business and Warm Referrals

SmallGyfts is a referral-marketing platform for local businesses that redirects your marketing dollars to your customers and community instead of ads. Branded reward cards turn satisfied customers into repeat buyers and warm referrals, with optional small donations supporting customers' favorite local causes. Lower marketing costs, better results, bigger community impact.

What SmallGyfts Does

Grow your business by thanking customers with small donations to local causes. Earn warm referrals from a community of passionate advocates who want your business to succeed because when you win, the community wins.

Three Steps to Your Success

  1. Set Up Your Card — Upload your logo, customize your reward card, and send your first card to customers via email in minutes.
  2. Share With Customers — Order your cards, hand them out after every sale, or send digital cards by email.
  3. Watch It Work — Customers bring the cards back to redeem their cash. Friends and neighbors show up with your cards. Your referrals and sales grow.

Why partners join

Three Reasons Marketers Are Signing Up

SmallGyfts is a Customer Loyalty, Appreciation, Retention, Referral & Acquisition platform (CLARRA) that amplifies your clients' presence in their community with every customer interaction. As a SmallGyfts Partner, you deliver this engine to your clients without writing a line of code.

01
Differentiate Your Offer

Every other marketer sells SEO, social posts and email blasts. None of them sell a loyalty and referral platform that extends your clients' presence in their community. You will.

02
Recurring Revenue, Not Project Work

Stop trading hours for dollars on every new logo. Every client you bring on stays on your books month after month — commission accrues whether you're working or sleeping.

03
No Tech To Build

The platform handles reward cards, donation rewards, email sequences, AI-driven onboarding, customer tracking, and review collection. You sell the idea. We deliver it.

Full commercial terms in the Partner Agreement.
