Gift sensation arrives at The Bridges

Date: 18 Sep 2007

The Bridges Shopping Centre in Sunderland is celebrating the launch of a brand new gift card and as the first of its kind in the North East it’s set to ‘wrap up’ a gift option everyone will love.

The Maestro powered and brightly decorated Bridges card is now available from the Customer Services Desk in The Bridges and can be loaded with up to £1000 to be spent in any of over 100 stores at the centre, with high street favourites such as Monsoon Accessorize, H&M, Debenhams and Tucci. 

The Bridges Gift Card works in exactly the same way as any other debit card and can be used as many times as the balance allows so it’s goodbye to old paper vouchers and hello to the ‘plastic fantastic’. 

With the added ability to check your balance either on line, over the telephone or at The Bridges Customer Services Desk, using the card could not be easier.

Sarah King, Marketing Manager at The Bridges Shopping Centre, said: “We constantly strive to offer our visitors a modern and innovative shopping experience and the new gift card certainly does that.  It’s the perfect way for shoppers to give and receive a present everyone can enjoy as the recipient can choose the perfect gift for themselves. 

“There is certainly a demand for such a service as within minutes of opening the customer services desk we sold a number of cards. I would encourage anyone interested in purchasing a card to talk to our specially trained customer services team here in the centre”                              

Andrew Sims, Sales and Marketing Director of Flex-e-vouchers Limited, the company operating the gift card scheme said: “The Bridges should be congratulated as the first retail centre in the North East to make use of this exciting new technology.”
