Love2shop has launched Love2shop Perks, a new low-cost and easy-to-set-up e-Gift Card platform designed to help employees save money on everyday purchases. The platform offers discounts of up to 38% at more than 150 retailers, covering essentials like supermarket shopping, dining out, and leisure activities.
Liverpool-based Love2shop, part of PayPoint Group, developed the platform in response to changing employee expectations, as workers increasingly prioritise financial savings over traditional workplace benefits. With rising employment costs, National Insurance contributions, inflation, and energy price hikes, businesses are seeking cost-effective ways to support and retain staff.
Frank Creighton, director of business development for Love2shop, said: “Love2shop Perks is a very exciting proposition for any UK business looking to reward and retain staff cost effectively. Crucially, it supports staff by saving them money – something we’ve consistently found to be the most popular form of any staff benefit.
“Why offer a gym membership or office yoga classes when staff would much prefer a fantastic discount with day-to-day spending at the supermarket or at a restaurant, or for special purchases at a top retailer?”
Creighton added: “The start of a new year is often a time employers re-evaluate staff benefits packages. We are confident Love2shop Perks will rapidly become a popular and affordable new addition to any employee benefits package. It is also extremely easy to deploy and staff can start enjoying great discounts with top brands in a matter of minutes upon receiving their discounted e-Gift Card in to their email inbox.”
The platform is designed for quick implementation, allowing businesses to offer immediate savings to employees without complex setup requirements. With access to discounts across supermarkets, restaurants, leisure brands, and holiday providers, Love2shop Perks provides a flexible and practical alternative to traditional employee benefits.
