How to Buy $5 eGift Cards in Bulk

A $5 eGift Card is small enough to send out to the whole team, but still thoughtful enough to leave them with the warm fuzzies.   

You can say goodbye to stressing about budget approval – an eGift Card that lets recipients buy a coffee or cake is often all that’s needed. And that’s exactly why as little as $5 is perfect for: 

• Customer incentives
• Survey rewards
• Employee appreciation
• Employee birthdays
• Volunteer gifts
• Event giveaways

Why Bulk $5 eGift Cards Work

Before we get into the how, it’s worth understanding the why. It may sound absurd to think a number as small as $5 could be enough to please your recipients, but there’s a reason it hits the sweet spot of gifting: 

• Feels like a reward
• Works for anyone (and everyone!)
• Low cost and easy to send in bulk
• Quick and easy
• Flexible 

It’s the perfect choice when you’re rewarding participation – say for webinar attendance or survey completion, rather than trying to replace someone’s weekly grocery shop or get them into a day spa treatment. The latter is great, sure, but it’s more of a Christmas or milestone kind of a reward. 

The only challenge is buying and sending them efficiently – bulk eGift Cards are your saving grace here, but the platform you choose matters. Here’s how to do it properly: 

Step 1: Choose a Platform That Actually Supports Bulk Sending

Not all gifting platforms are made for bulk sending – and some don’t follow through on their promises, leaving you sending eGift Cards one by one. But it doesn’t have to be that way – if you choose a platform like GroupTogether, the whole process is automated. Think about it this way – if you’re sending multiple $5 eGift Cards, you want a platform that allows you to:

• Upload recipient emails
• Send all your eGift Cards at once
• Manage everything in one place
• Track delivery
• Add a free note to each recipient

Step 2: Choose a Flexible Gift Card Option

Not everyone wants the same thing – some people love coffee, some want music, some want a magazine. This is why flexibility matters, especially at lower amounts like $5.

With GroupTogether’s AnyCard, recipients can choose exactly where they spend their gift, with over 150 retailer options to mix and match with – we’re talking big names like Amazon, Starbucks and Barnes and Noble.

That means no guessing and a happy recipient. Win-win.

Step 3: Personalize Your Gift

Just because it’s a bulk sendout, does not mean you can’t make it special for everyone. With GroupTogether, you can send a free note to each recipient to show your appreciation – you can say as much or as little as you’d like. We highly recommend adding something unique for everyone – trust us, it makes all the difference in making people feel seen. 

You don’t need to pen the next great novel – just leave a short note like:

• “Thanks for your feedback!”
• “We appreciate your time.”
• “Thanks for being part of our journey.”

Need a little more inspiration? Yeah, we’ve got something for that too. Take a look at some examples of what to write on a thank you card. 

Step 4: Send Now or Schedule Delivery

Timing matters more than you think – with GroupTogether bulk eGift Cards, you can send last-minute (hey, we’ve all been there!) or schedule delivery for a specific date in the future. This makes it ideal for event follow-ups and appreciation days. 

With GroupTogether, you can set the delivery and let it happen automatically – no need to remember to send it later. And, yes, it makes a difference when you send your eGift Cards. If you’ve just had a webinar, for instance, you want to get those rewards out ASAP to ensure you’re still fresh on their minds. Birthdays and appreciation days should of course be scheduled for the day. 

Step 6: Let the Platform Do the Work

Once everything is set up, the best part happens – you don’t have to do anything else. The gifts are delivered digitally, and recipients can redeem them easily. And that’s exactly how bulk gifting should work.
