A checklist of things to include on your business’ gift certificate design:

• Make it simple and professional, if you are printing it out and designing it.
• Make sure the design has the essentials. TO, FROM, AMOUNT, and AUTHORIZED BY. Always include all of your business information and website as with any marketing piece! The recipient might not know where your store is!
• Print it on heavy weight matte or paper so your customer can easily write on it. The weight of paper is for durability and professionalism. The recipient might not redeem the certificate for months so you want it to last.
• You can easily fit 3 certificates per page. A good idea is to make it the size of a dollar bill so it can easily fit in a wallet.
• Security might not be an issue, if you plan on selling 10 to 20 certificates. If you plan on selling hundreds, you might want to put a type of watermark so it is difficult to photocopy (see example below).

Love of Fitness Logo Design 2008

Getting a logo update can help your logo stay fresh. Why does it need to stay fresh? I think potential customers can tell if a logo is outdated and will be drawn to a more up to date company. You will see slight logo modifications over the years with large companies like PEPSI, who just did a modification. It doesn’t have to be a total revamp, but a slight modification can help your logo get new life!
