Third Party Sales ("TPS") represents an outstanding opportunity for a company that is trying to expand its gift card program. CardFact's principals have years of first hand experience managing all aspects of third party sales, including working with:

• Retail Third Party Sales programs like Safeway/Blackhawk, Incomm, and Walgreen's.
• Charitable sales programs like ScripAdvantage, Great Lakes Scrip Center, and eScrip
• Incentive programs like Maritz, Carlson, and IncentOne

CardFact can save you months, or even years worth of time, by helping prioritize the various opportunities that are appropriate for your circumstances. CardFact can provide tactical advice during contract negotiation and also advice on working with the different companies after the deal has closed.

Third Party Sales and Nexus

An unfortunate byproduct of TPS programs can be the creation of state tax nexus. TPS can create nexus by causing the retailer to have a physical presence in a state by virtue of having property and/or agents in the state.

Fortunately, CardFact enables retailers to avoid this pitfall. An out-of-state retailer that uses CardFact can have a TPS program without placing property or agents within a state and creating nexus.

In short, CardFact allows an out-of-state retailer to enjoy the tremendous benefits of a third-party gift card program without suffering the unintended side-effect of creating nexus.
