In the iconic and eternal words of Noddy Holder: “It’s Christmas!!” And we’re brimming with holiday cheer to be able to announce the introduction of Skiddle Gift Cards, just in time for the festive season!

It’s probably no surprise that traditional material gifts just aren’t making the same impact they once did in 2024. Recent research into gifting shows experiences bring greater happiness than material possessions, both in anticipation of receiving and afterwards. Supporting this trend, 78% of millennials prefer spending on experiences or events over physical items, with Gen Z leading the way in valuing new experiences.

So, why not promote the gift of choice to your customers this Christmas, and encourage your fans and followers to purchase a Skiddle Gift Card for their nearest and dearest? 

As of today, Gift Cards are available to be purchased on Skiddle, and they couldn’t be easier to create and send! All your customers have to do is choose the amount they’d like to load onto their gift card, enter the recipient’s email address and choose whether to send the gift card instantly or on a specific, scheduled date. 

Upon receiving their gift card, the recipient can then redeem the code via email or their Skiddle account. Once redeemed, the gift card will be added to their Skiddle account as Skiddle credits, which can then be used towards gaining entry to one of the many varied events listed on Skiddle.

To celebrate the launch of Skiddle Gift Cards, we’re going to highlight the many benefits of the feature whilst sharing ideas to help promote gift card sales and ultimately, sales to your events over the festive period and in 2025.


What are the benefits of Skiddle Gift Cards?

The Ideal Seasonal Gift

One of the strongest benefits of Gift Cards is their potential to drive ticket sales for your events during peak gifting seasons like Christmas. You can begin promoting them today in preparation for this year’s festive period or for Christmas 2025, if you’re a super organised individual, giving you time to create an engaging, entertaining and informative marketing campaign that inspires your audience to choose Gift Cards.

Seamless Experience For You

We manage the purchasing and redemption of all Skiddle Gift Cards, giving you more time to focus on the important things, such as booking venues for your events, securing artists, or marketing your event. 

Highly Flexible Feature

There’s an unlimited number of ways to promote Gift Cards to be spent on your events. Let your creativity run wild. For example, given the time of year, you could promote Gift Cards as the ideal secret Santa gift for those looking to treat their colleagues over Christmas. You could even run a social media competition, giving away a limited number of Gift Cards in return for engagement.
