You don’t immediately create a gift voucher without creating a plan on what you want to do. You first need to have a blueprint by selecting a theme or concept so that you can be guided when you will finally be creating your gift voucher.
Colors are crucial in a gift voucher. Choose colors that are not bland, colors which are too bright, nor colors which are too dark. Use color combinations to make your gift voucher attractive.
Colors are not enough to make a gift voucher attractive. You need to insert graphics or pictures to make the gift voucher more attractive and visually appealing. Use graphics or pictures that are related to the gift voucher you are creating.
Typography pertains to how one writes the text in any design. Basically, typography is the font and font size. Decide on the typography you want to use for your gift voucher. Make sure that the typography that you choose should match the theme of the gift voucher.
Before printing the gift voucher, edit and revise the voucher to check if there are any typographical or design errors.
Since you are creating a gift voucher layout, use images which are related to gifts and gift boxes. This will definitely bring excitement to the individual who will use the voucher.
Bright colors exude energy and fun. That is the reason why you should use bright colors for your gift voucher. Additionally, use color combinations to make the design more attractive (i.e. sky blue/yellow, pink/sky blue, light green/yellow, etc.).
Text is very important in a gift voucher. Make sure the text is readable since it presents a promotion or the item that the user will be retrieving. The text should complement with the colors and the images that are also incorporated in the gift voucher.
Holiday gift vouchers are usually handed out during special holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, etc.
Wedding gift vouchers are specifically given during weddings, specifically to the bride and groom in celebration of their wedding day.
Birthday gift vouchers are specifically given to persons celebrating their birthdays.
Graduation gift vouchers are specifically given to students who graduated and obtained a grades school, high school, college, and/or postgraduate degree.
Employee gift vouchers are given to employees who are productive in the workplace. Other times, employee gift vouchers are given to business professionals who have been promoted to a new position or department.
Follow these simple steps when creating a detailed and visually attractive gift voucher: (1) select a theme or concept, (2) decide on what colors to use, (3) decide on the graphics or pictures, (4) decide on the typography, and (5) edit and revise if necessary.
Remember when making a gift voucher, color combinations are more attractive than using colors in the same palette. Bright colors are also much more preferred compared to dark and dull colors. Additionally, use gift-related images and make the text readable when creating a gift voucher.
There are different paper types you can use for your gift voucher. Here are some suggestions that you can use for your own gift voucher:
A gift voucher is mostly used when an establishment (mostly a retail or wholesale stare) gives a promotion (in this case, free gifts) to both regular and new customers. The promotion is written in the gift voucher, in which the voucher is then used by the customer to claim or retrieve the said promotion. Gift vouchers are given by companies as part of their promotional activities.
A gift voucher is important because of two reasons: increased visibility and increased revenue or income. Gift vouchers function similarly to traditional marketing tools such as posters and tarpaulins and digital marketing tools such as social media. Similar to how the way these marketing tools work, gift vouchers increase the visibility of a business to multiple market segments and not just its target market. Due to increased visibility, businesses will now earn more and gain new customers and clients.
