Hello,
We are new to tessitura and are plannign on using the gift card function. We'd like to find the most effiecent way to transfer the gift card numbers on to a gift certificate or gift card.
We'd like customers to have a slick looking gift card that we've designed (either plastic or nice cards stock) but want to find a way to get the redemption number on there in the most effecent way possible.
Any thought would be very welcome!
Hello R. J.,
I am currently in this same predicament. We are fairly new here as well and we have decided to start issuing gift cards. i have done my research and found a company that is fairly cheap creating gift cards. Here is the website that i have found, www.4colorprint.com. They will also send you samples so that you can see and feel the difference in their card stock.
I see that you have posted this five months ago, did you receive any information regarding this?
Thanks,

Thanks ! you are the first person to respond to this. I will say that right now we are using gift certificates on card stock. We hand write the ID number on the card. It works fairly well but is a bit labor intensive. I will check out the company. How do you deal with adding on the gift card ID numbers (i.e. numbers that customers enter to redeem the card)?
Hi RJ! I wonder if you're using the Gift Certificate Batch Printing utility. You'll find the documentation for it here: https://www.tessituranetwork.com/Help_System_v125/Content/Gift%20Certificates/Batch%20Printing%20Gift%20Certificates.htm When you run that utility to identify a set of recently sold certificates, you can merge the data directly into a Word document. That Word document can be designed to be the size of your card stock, and the Gift Certificate number can be included in the output.
If you'd like more information on merging data from Tessitura into Word, there is a webinar here: https://www.tessituranetwork.com/Items/Videos/Training/Merging_Tess_Data
