Gift card categories that will initially be available through the Perk Hero app in the US include online shopping, streaming services, gaming, home improvement and major restaurant chains. Perk has developed an innovative platform for the sale of eGift Cards, allowing users to buy for themselves, send to friends as gifts, save the eGift card in the Perk digital wallet as stored value, earn cash back rewards on the purchase of gift cards, and earn rewards for referring digital gift cards to friends and family.
“We’ve already witnessed a significant demand for our digital gift card offering in the Canadian market,” says Perk Labs’ CEO Jonathan Hoyles. “We believe that the way we offer and sell digital gift cards through our mobile digital wallet is innovative and unique in the marketplace, and there is a huge opportunity to become one of the leading mobile-first distributors of digital gift cards in the United States.”
“Our partnership with Perk Labs has been quite the success; so much so that we’re now expanding our distribution in the U.S. market,” said Dave Etling, Senior Vice President of InComm Payments. “Together, we are well positioned to answer the accelerated demand for digital gifts cards as people continue to remain physically apart from their friends and family.”
According to the report published by Allied Market Research, the global gift cards market generated $619.25 billion in 2019, and is estimated to reach $1,922.87 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 15.4% from 2020 to 2027.[1]

Gutes Update, meiner Meinung nach.
Vancouver, Canada / May 17, 2021 / Perk Labs Inc. (CSE: PERK / OTCQB: PKLBF / FKT: PKLB) (“Perk” or the “Company”), the parent company of Perk Hero, the mobile commerce platform with perks on curated lifestyle products and digital gift cards, today announced a comprehensive technology upgrade, which includes a new merchant payout system, universal shopping cart and single sign-on.
All of the architectural changes will support the scalability and fast, frictionless experience that Perk Hero merchants and customers require and expect.
“This has been a significant investment on our part and is fundamental to our strategy moving forward,” said Jonathan Hoyles, CEO, Perk Labs. “We are committed to pioneering the next generation of mobile commerce and digital loyalty rewards through rapid product innovation.”
The new merchant payout system is a new and unique method for merchants to connect their bank accounts to Perk’s platform when they sign up to Perk Hero and to receive payment for products sold through Perk Hero. Previously, Perk Hero relied on Stripe’s platform to connect with and payout to bank accounts and did not have the desired controls, insights and reporting functionality with respect to merchant payouts. The new Perk payout system allows Perk Coin product development to be more loosely coupled, which will allow for faster innovation, testing and scalability, and is a required step towards Perk Coin becoming a blockchain-based rewards platform.
The new universal shopping cart feature makes it easy to shop simultaneously from a variety of brands and retailers on Perk Hero. Previously, while the checkout process was easy, customers were limited to checking out at only one merchant at a time. Now, with universal shopping cart, customers will be able to add multiple items from various retailers to their cart and checkout all together on Perk.
“We believe that the easier we make it for our customers to shop on our site, the longer they will stay there and browse through the catalogue; and the quicker we can lead someone to a checkout, the more likely it is that they will actually go through with a purchase,” explained Jonathan Hoyles, Perk Labs CEO.
Development of the universal shopping cart and the new payout system is complete and Perk plans to complete the migration of all merchant customers from Stripe payouts to the new payout system and deploy universal shopping cart by the end of the month.
Perk’s new single sign-on feature streamlines the login experience for new and existing customers across multiple platforms. Customers and merchants can now sign up or sign in to both Perk Hero’s mobile app or website using their Google or Apple account, in addition to their phone number. By making the sign-up process simpler and more seamless, Perk believes that it will increase its conversion rate for customers that visit its app or website and then sign up as registered users.
Perk also announced that Michelle Berg has joined the Company as its new Director of Marketing and will oversee the Company’s new marketing campaign that will begin rolling out over the next two weeks and fully ramp up in the next quarter. Michelle was previously the Group Lead at Major Tom, an industry-leading marketing agency.
Michelle is a full-stack marketing professional with expertise in the area of digital marketing, including Google ads, paid social ads, analytics, landing page optimization, and SEO. Perk also announced today that Daniel Zou has transitioned from the role of COO to an advisor to the Company and will continue to advise the Company on mobile business growth, strategic partnerships, and enterprise merchant expansion strategies.

Vancouver, Canada / October 12, 2021 / Perk Labs Inc. (CSE: PERK / OTCQB: PKLBF / FKT: PKLB) (“Perk” or the “Company”), the parent company of Perk Hero, the mobile commerce platform with perks on curated specialty products, mobile payments, and digital gift cards, today announced plans to expand across Canada through franchising.
“As we launch our innovative franchise model, we are seeking entrepreneurial partners across Canada to be part of our mobile-first digital franchise system,” said Jonathan Hoyles, CEO, Perk Labs. “Perk Hero offers a unique opportunity for franchise partners to own a leading-edge technology business and offer local businesses access to a powerful mobile payment and digital loyalty platform. With this offering we will be one of only a few franchise systems that offers franchisees the ability to earn recurring software as a service (SaaS) revenue. To our knowledge, we will be the first franchise system that enables franchisees to leverage the power of blockchain technology.”
Perk Hero offers a unique community-driven franchise business at an attractive start-up price. Through Perk Hero, franchisees can offer restaurants, retail, and any small business with a bricks-and-mortar location, a solution that provides the convenience of mobile payment combined with a powerful digital loyalty program that empowers them to create, market, and measure real-time mobile offers and rewards to loyal customers. Each local business pays a modest monthly fee for access to tools such as order by QR, QR code payment, multiple payment methods including Alipay and BitPay, push notifications, digital loyalty, and the ability to reach new customers through the Perk Hero App and online marketplace.
Unlike brick & mortar franchises, as a Perk Hero digital franchise, owners do not have to take on significant overhead and can build a growing recurring software-as-a-service (SAAS) revenue stream in their local marketplace. Franchisees will have access to multiple price points and packages based on a business’s needs and budget to help them create an ever-growing source of sustainable income. All franchisees have access to Perk Hero’s online portal that provides powerful analytics, merchant management, promotional tools and support and training.
Perk Hero will be showcasing its franchise offering at the Canadian Franchise Association’s virtual show starting on October 18, 2021.
