Montréal, Québec - November 3, 2005 - Québec Resorts and Country Inns establishments just became more widely accessible to an even wider public thanks to a newly released gift card featuring the very latest state-of-the-art technology. This new promotional tool is valid in all of the network's establishments. It is the first gift card in Québec that can be used in a network of inns and resorts in exchange for accommodations and a host of other hospitality services!
The new gift card, which goes on sale November 4, 2005, is both practical and flexible. It comes in an elegant folder that includes a complimentary card the purchaser can use to add a personal greeting. Its design is modern, trendy. It features a beautiful butterfly, and a tree shelters the network's logo. Everything about the card says 'getaway,' and the countryside that is home to the network's establishments is very present.
The gift card can be purchased online at www.resortsquebec.com or by phone at 1-800-861-4024. It is available in three dollar value options: $50, $100, or with no preloaded dollar value, affording the recipient the freedom to charge to it whatever amount in accordance with the occasion. A gift card is valid for three years following the date of purchase. It can be used for accommodations, dining, packages and most services and activities offered by the establishment chosen, such as spa services, outdoor activities and other indulgences.
“The new Québec Resorts and Country Inns gift card is more convenient and safer than our previous gift certificates,” explains Nathalie Gaudet, General Manager of Québec Resorts and Country Inns. “It will produce an extensive community of gift card holders. Each time they open their wallets, the card will remind them of their recent or upcoming getaway in the countryside.”
Redeemable in all Québec Resorts and Country Inns establishments for a multitude of special delights, the Québec Resorts and Country Inns gift card always rises to the occasion! With Christmas around the corner, our card will make an enviable gift idea. Offering someone a dream getaway is a perfect present. The gift card is the passport that makes it possible.
The Québec Resorts and Country Inns gift certificate program has been around for 10 years, and its popularity continues to grow unabated. Gift certificate sales have topped the $1 million mark in each of the last three years. In 2005, they have doubled compared to the previous year. The new magnetic stripe gift card replaces the paper-based $50 and $100 gift certificates, although these will continue to be accepted network-wide until their expiry date.
