'Tis the season...

The decorations are starting to be hung and the holiday songs are already playing in the stores here in Manhatten. Even with Halloween only 2 days behind us, it's clear that the holiday shopping must begin!

'Tis the season of giving and your supporters have to opportunity to give back just by using their affinity credit card. By purchasing gifts for their loved ones they will also be making donations to your organization. What a great way to spread the holiday spirit. Make sure to be sending out those e-blasts, newletters, Tweets and Facebook posts with increased frequency and watch your program thrive.

Not that you'll be surprised, but we're seeing a direct correlation between visibility of the card program on our partners' home pages and cards issued.

Omnipeace, which recently added a graphic about the card program on their homepage, is just one example among many.

Vis a vis partners who hide the card, those that let it shine can count on being rewarded with more accounts!
