Build-A-Bear Offers Custom Gift Card Kiosks
Build-A-Bear Workshops faced a challenge in selling its gift cards in a retail setting where customization and personalization are an integral part of the customer experience. Build-A-Bear wanted to improve this experience for its guests and speed the gift card buying process by incorporating self-service technology.
Build-A-Bear worked with Nanonation, Lincoln, NE, to create a personalized on-demand gift card printing station. The custom gift card kiosks offer a personalized experience, as well as a way to speed up transaction times and decrease wait times. The kiosks enable users to select the custom card background and specify the value they want to add to the card. A preview feature allows the customer to see exactly what the card will look like when printed.
