A Blast from the Past: Remember the Days of Unabashedly Singing into the Mirror, Brush in Hand? Or Playing Air Guitar with Gusto, Clad in Your Flashy Oversized Fleece Sweater. Ah, yes, we have a vivid picture, and the ’90s surely miss you too. Stress and responsibilities were nonexistent. Your only concern was keeping your Tamagotchi alive, and even that was a challenge. Oh, and making it to the video rental store on time to return your movies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Entrepreneurship or a Gameboy?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

What did your life look like back then? Were you already dreaming of starting your own business, or was a Gameboy your main aspiration? Or perhaps you aimed for a larger collection of pogs, devouring bags of chips while washing them down with a Breezer? Ah, good times; a bit of MSN-ing, painting with Bob Ross, or – wait for it – grooving along with Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Shopping for Gifts Meant Going to the Store<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Life was simple; when you stepped out the door, you were unreachable, and when you needed a gift, you went to the store. Strolling through the city in search of a walkie-talkie. Or that one lava lamp. Time was ample, and besides: showing up empty-handed at a party was a no-go, even in the forgiving ’90s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Back Then You Had Time, Now You Have the Internet<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A lot has changed – we went online, and Raider became Twix – but not everything. Because showing up to a birthday without a gift is still a faux pas. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to happen because a digital gift card is easily bought and given. No matter how busy you are with kids, entrepreneurship, acting important, sports, or simply enjoying life; a gift is just a click away. Back then, you had time, now you have the internet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You Wouldn’t Leave Revenue on the Table, Would You?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Even with closed stores, shuttered restaurants, in the dead of night, or even right at the doorstep of the party animal; you can easily and quickly arrange it. Nowadays, as an entrepreneur, you also know: 70% of gift cards are bought digitally. Simply through your website, which is, of course, open 24\/7. That’s how you do it because you’re not stuck in the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
