"JJ Supply Partners, Inc. & JJJ Packaging is a great company to work with inside and out! Because of Jason’s experience in the facilities industry and PPE market over the past 25 years, we have been very fortunate during these very difficult times. Not only have we been selling PPE but we have been able to consult businesses with the best practices to allow them to have a good game plan to safely re-open and protect their customers and employees! Since we are able to grow during these unprecedented times, we have been able to contribute to the job market more than ever and be really efficient in the community to help with employment opportunities! Since the pandemic has begun, we have been able to provide about 15 new employment opportunities within the Chicagoland area and nationwide! 

I’ve never worked with a company that has been so focused on the greater good of the clients and always making sure that the partnership between Jason, myself and the sales reps gets our clients the products they need as fast as possible! I’ve truly enjoyed seeing that while the primary focus is always the clients, we are also involved within the community philanthropically as well! I highly recommend JJ Supply Partners to anyone, whether it’s for the products and services we offer or employment opportunities!" Megan Sharkey, JJ Supply Partners, Inc. & JJJ Packaging

Promotion Is The Success Of This Program

You send out marketing messages on social media and to your customer mailing list with a link to buy your custom eGift Card. People will click on the link and purchase the card for themselves or email/text them to their friends and associates. The purchaser will
automatically receive an additional bonus on gift card purchases of over $25.

Yiftee will send you the funds weekly by electronic funds transfer (ACH) which will include the original gift card and bonus amounts when the bonus gift card is activated. Bonus gift cards must be activated and are only valid until December 15, 2020. When
customers purchase an eGift Card to your business over $25 value, they will receive two gift card codes – one for the original amount purchased, and one for the bonus amount to your business. Customers can either use both codes themselves or treat them as two
separate gift cards and choose to gift one of them to someone else. Limit one bonus gift card per person per business.

eGift Cards Redemption

You will receive access to a Yiftee online portal that you will use to redeem the cards by entering a code that the customer presents to you and the value of the transaction. You do this via the internet with the customer on the phone or in person. There’s no PoS
integration, it’s up to you to make sure that you process the cards on your Yiftee portal before completing the sale to make sure that the card is valid and shows the customer’s card balance.

Your portal allows you to run real time reports on what cards have been purchased, redeemed and are still outstanding. For more information on the gift card redemption process, please read this step-by-step guide.
