2004-09-10, THE HALCYON CARD - Britain’s newest privilege card is expanding across the UK to give members access to their very own exclusive virtual shopping mall. The Halcyon Card specialises in providing its cardholders with exclusive offers from well known and specialist companies.(PRWEB) September 11, 2004 -- Britain’s newest and most prestigious privilege card is expanding to give consumers across the UK unprecedented access to their very own virtual shopping mall. The Halcyon Card specialises in exclusive offers from names like Cotton Traders, Old English Inns, Blackwell’s, Thornton’s confectionery, Littlewoods and many other top name and specialist companies. Unlike many reward and loyalty cards you don’t have to spend a lot of money building up points before benefiting. ‘I realised a lot of people were sceptical about the value of the supermarket type cards where you spent a lot for not much back and then can only redeem points at a limited number of retail outlets,’ said entrepreneur Carole Hathaway who founded The Halcyon Card.
Mrs Hathaway has persuaded an impressive number of companies to come on board and offer customers discounts on a wide range of goods from hotel breaks to clothing, wine, CDs, toys, lingerie, books, cookware, luxury gifts, flowers, travel, car hire and insurance. ‘Many people, usually women who end up doing most of the shopping and planning for holidays, are too busy to shop around. They want good deals and bargains from reputable companies but it is time consuming finding them,’ said Mrs Hathaway. ‘The Halcyon card gives them their very own virtual shopping mall with access to exclusive offers. When they log onto the website they immediately have access to a wide range of goods with fantastic discounts. And you can take advantage of the offers immediately. You don’t have to wait until you have saved up hundreds of points.’
The offers are all year long and customers don’t have to wait until sale time for discounts. New offers are flagged up on the card’s newsletter which is sent electronically via the Halcyon website.
But the card isn’t just a good deal for individual shoppers; it offers companies and associations the chance to have their very own privilege cards. ‘By co-branding with us a company can reward its customers or clients and staff with something both unique and useful,’ explained Mrs Hathaway. ‘Offering this to your customers shows that you care about them as they get a large choice of privileges.’ Each company can have its own design on the cards. ‘It means you get your company name in wallets, on the Internet and in the minds of others,’ she added.
Mrs Hathaway believes choice is a key part of the card’s appeal. ‘Some cards tend to concentrate on specialist areas but with The Halcyon Card you have access to a huge & ever expanding range of goods and services,’ she said. Cotton Traders, based in Cheshire is one of the big names that have decided to link up with the card. As Cotton Traders explain “The Halcyon Card is based on a very simple concept, and that allows it to cut through the overwhelming noise of the information super-highway to bring online shoppers and merchants like Cotton Traders together in a way that`s beneficial to both. We know our range is being presented, clearly and professionally, to people who want to shop with us. In exchange we can offer them a whole host of great offers from our site, plus an extra 10% saving on everything they buy from us. We can offer that because it`s such a cost-effective way of finding customers. And shoppers who are completely new to Cotton Traders know they can shop with confidence - that`s why The Halcyon Card chose us as their partner.”
Individuals looking to set up their own business can also benefit by applying to become distributors. They can earn by attracting individuals and companies to join the Halcyon Card. “We provide our distributors with excellent support and their own virtual office, as well as an unlimited income opportunity, of course” explained Mrs Hathaway.
The Halcyon is a mythical bird that has powers to charm the wind and calm the sea, and means joyful, prosperous and carefree - so The Halcyon Card aims to make shopping a pleasure, and for companies the chance to make employees and customers feel special.
Membership to The Halcyon Card can be purchased via the website at www.thehalcyoncard.co.uk or through the post. There are a variety of subscriptions available. Companies interested in further information on co-branding options should contact Carole Hathaway or Colin Weatherall on 01564 793337.
