Our take
Gift card partnerships make for a good deal: retailers gain extra revenue and exposure; businesses can access an additional way to motivate, retain, and attract top talent; and recipients themselves benefit from discounts at top brands. So B2B gift card management company Tillo is in a sector ripe for business.
It is, however, a competitive market. Tillo faces competition from a crowded field: Alyce, Blackhawk, and WeGift are a few of the top rivals offering similar gift card services. Playing in Tillo’s favour is its extensive network: it brings together over 2K brands across 34 countries worldwide and caters to major enterprises like Nike, H&M, and Uber. In 2021 alone the company processed over $1B in sales.
This gives Tillo, already a well-established player, a strong headstart. With the global gift card market expected to double in size to become a multi-trillion dollar industry, and the UK subsector dominated by B2B gift cards, Tillo has laid a strong foundation to stay on top.
