Retailers are entering into strategic collaboration with providers to launch gift card solutions
The demand for gift cards is poised to grow even further among consumers in the Kingdom over the medium term. To tap into this growing demand, retailers are forging strategic alliances with gift card providers to launch their own solutions.
eXtra, the leading consumer electronics and home appliance maker in the Kingdom, partnered with YouGotaGift in September 2023.
