Ok. so I figured I would start a spreadsheet of what gift certificates I give out so I can keep a record of who has them and when they come back to me, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should add to this spreadsheet.. Some of the obvious for me is their holder's name, date issued, expiry date, date used, and the amount. anything else?

Cheers:rolleyes:
 
Could you maybe put the phone number of the person that you gave it too? Because if it is coming up on the expiration date and they haven't used it yet, you can give them a friendly reminder call to let them know it will be expiring soon?
 
If you order gift certificates with PC how do you redeem them?
 
either through the mail or website. Not at a show
 
So it would be better to make GC yourself?
