Gift Card Market Aims to Simplify Local Gifting in Kansas City
A Kansas City-based technology is changing the way you look at gifting by simplifying the process of sending gift cards.
Just for You: Gift Card Market simplifies the process of sending gift cards to friends and family to over five million restaurants, spas, and salons. Users can search the in-app marketplace and then send gift cards via text, email, or a print-at-home option. All transactions are backed by advanced fraud protection.
Restaurant Companion: To celebrate the rollout of this new technology, Gift Card Market will be the presenting sponsor for the 2025 Kansas City Restaurant Week. KCRW, which will be held from January 10 to 19, 2025, is one of the city’s premier dining events.
