LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Online gift card sales nearly doubled in 2020 as consumers preferred to avoid crowded stores and shopping centers in favor of shopping online. Consumers purchased gift cards online in support of their favorite retailers and restaurants and to gift to friends, relatives, and employees to show appreciation.

While physical cards were still consumers gift of choice, digital cards showed significant growth in 2020. Digital gift cards made up more than half of online gift card purchases. Home retailers, restaurants, and grocery stores led the way, adopting gift card sales online as a way to generate additional sales for those consumers preferring to complete all shopping online.
