Saving Livelihoods: Operation Main Street

With each passing day, the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic wreaks more and more havoc on our society, putting lives at stake and our country at economic risk. But in the face of it all, we’re also seeing good, old fashioned American Spirit rise to battle the blaze. Every day at the stroke of 7pm, people are stepping away from their living rooms and into the streets. Their cheers and thanks are directed at the healthcare workers who put their own lives in harm’s way caring for the sick and suffering, In our own response to the nation’s call for help, the eGifter team quickly conceptualized, developed and launched a solution that is having a dramatic, healing effect: OperationMainStreet.com. As a national initiative with local roots, Operation Main Street is an emergent technology solution offering real help to real people. Through the combined power of both search engine and gift card technologies, the Operation Main Street platform adds an economic spending boost to local communities and neighborhoods across the United States. Operation Main Street is a uniquely designed local business directory where search requests automagically return a list of stores in selected zip codes that serve *you* and *your* community. Read on to learn how it works and to see how good neighbors like you can literally save livelihoods in your own backyard. And, in turn, through spending boons through gift card sales, local businesses and organizations can stay in business to serve the community that loves them.

OperationMainStreet.com: A Free Searchable Local Business Directory Making Gift Cards Accessible

As a tech company literally located on Main Street (Huntington, NY), we feel the pain experienced by small businesses everywhere. Making sure neighborhood businesses can be easily found by local residents who want to save their favorite shops and restaurants is the promise delivered by the powerhouse business directory at OperationMainStreet.com. Together, we’ll endeavor toward the better days that lie ahead.

Neighbors: Save Your Favorite Local Restaurants and Shops

At this precarious time in our nation’s history, we’ve all reached the same conclusion: We must do our collective part to help small business owners in our towns and villages stay solvent, pay their rent and taxes, and employ salaried workers. Helping small businesses stay afloat and feed their own families is the task at hand, which will in turn empower them to pay the local taxes on which our towns depend. Keeping businesses going is a moral and financial imperative. It’s the only way that we, the people, will maintain access to food, essentials and services upon which we depend to keep our homes and families safe, well and active. Search local stores in the directory.

Teaming with LongIsland.com: A Free Local Business Directory Goes Live

LongIsland.com

Never before has the phrase ‘Think Global, Buy Local” meant so much. With today’s stay at home mandate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, communities across the nation are struggling to keep their local shops and restaurants afloat until normal life resumes and beyond. Consumer spending is down and business mortality is up — a trend that can only be neutralized from a grassroots, local relief effort. That’s where eGifter innovation comes in. Gift cards are our lifeblood and we’ve found a way to provide real solutions in the ways that only we can. Thanks to a new initiative under the Operation Main Street umbrella, we warmly welcome LongIsland.com to the eGifter family, Now, Long Islanders can search local.egifter.com to find nearby restaurants, shops, studios, academies, barbers, beauty stores, coffee shops, music stores (and more!) The idea is to empower consumers to easily locate and shop at stores in local Long Island neighborhoods from the comfort of their home by searching a local directory of companies to find what they need nearby. Together with LongIsland.com, we’ve engineered a way for Long Islanders to save the small businesses they love while keeping their homes stocked and their families fed.

For businesses not yet on the searchable directory, signing up is simple, quick and free.

The eGifter Human Spirit Series: Gift Cards Can Make a Difference

The Human Spirit

How Gift Cards Can Help Unlock the Human Spirit

As the COVID-19 virus pandemic makes its way through our world both literally and figuratively, the eGifter team is hard at work finding ways to be of service. Please check back regularly for news and updates as we find and share ways to help people stick together through thick and thin. While some may argue that gift cards can’t save the world, we believe they can play an important role in our connected lives physically, socially and emotionally. It is in crises like these that the human spirit is truly tested and, in in our experience, displayed.

The eGifter team is hunkered down now, developing and delivering innovative ideas, products and services rooted in merchant and retail gift cards. Because the items sold at these establishments contribute to health, well-being, safety and community connectedness, we’ll have a lot to say and share.  Over the coming weeks and beyond, eGifter’s thought leadership helps people in real ways, both tangible and inspirational.

Together, we can make it. The eGifter family is right with you. 

Here is a preview of some of the stories and posts ahead, where we will:

  • Suggest ways to stay engaged in the face of social distancing
  • Share ideas to help friends and family weather this storm 
  • Propose specific items and strategies for the whole family, so that seniors, parents and children feel cared for and protected 
  • Post updates about our efforts to support humanitarian and charitable organizations, public and private, cross-denominational, for all
  • Offer special discounts and packages for essentials like safety, health, food, shelter
  • Take some time for laughter, entertainment and levity such that the lighter side of life shines through

We thank you for reading and sharing the eGifter Human Spirit Series. Gift cards sold at the eGifter marketplace bundle goodness into each delivery. It’s our sincere hope and commitment to surface strategies and approaches that not only help you pragmatically, but can be told as stories that illustrate the heart and resilience of people across the land.

Please share your uplifting stories with us at support.egifter.com.

Together, we can make it. The eGifter family is right with you.
