Testimonials

“IGCC has provided me an excellent opportunity to expand and learn from my peers about the Business to Business customer. Being new to the gift card industry, IGCC’s support was critical in making an easy transition into my new role as a Gift Card Program Manager.”
Jayne Stegemiller, Marketing Manager, Gift Cards
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

“There are 3 most important elements that Great Lakes Scrip Center looks to the IGCC for. The first is all about the people. We call it ‘networking’ but to us it’s partnerships and many of those partnerships have turned into great friendships. The second might be called expertise. Although we are not a card issuer nor do we deal with many of the legislative matters they do affect our business. The IGCC helps keep us in the know and promotes the cause of everything gift cards. The third would be for lack of a better word the glue. The IGCC keeps us together, it keeps us talking, it promotes goodwill and it is constantly looking to the future. What more could you ask for?”
Jack Smith, Chief Executive Officer

“Every year we’re energized by the IGCC discussion and events. They’re so targeted to our industry and needs. We’ve used IGCC research as a jumping off point to do our own surveys and blogging. Regularly connecting with IGCC resources helps discipline our team to make everything we do better. In this results-driven industry we get so much out of our IGCC participation. The value from IGCC training, research, learning, legal info, and networking is far lower for IGCC than if we even budgeted sending one person to one seminar.”
