If you're looking for a "little something" that's out of the ordinary when it comes to gift cards from National Gift Card, the phrase "Pop Your World" might just come to mind.  That's what Kernels Popcorn has been doing since 1983 when its founders vowed to "change popcorn forever."

National Gift Card Corp (NGC) announces the launch of its Retail Partner Gift Card Agency this week. Merchant brands that need to sell more gift cards but don’t have the bandwidth, resources or time to find new business, manage leads, vet against fraud, fulfill the cards, invoice customers, collect payments and manage the overall growth of their gift card program now have a brand new one-stop resource: National Gift Card’s Retail Partner Gift Card Agency.

Working with its 2,000 global corporate clients in the loyalty, rewards and incentive industry, NGC, a leading B2B gift card solution partner and fulfillment house with more than 450 gift card partners for use in the U.S., Canada and Europe, just strengthened its position as a full-service gift card agency to support retailers looking for assistance with their gift card programs.
