eGifts: Have you got more than one great gift idea for someone, but don’t have the budget for multiple presents? Or are you just struggling to pick the perfect item? eGifts are the ideal way to give great presents. All you have to do is start shopping. When you see an item that could be perfect for the individual you’re shopping for, just click “Add to eGift.”

You can add as many (or as few) items to the eGift as you want. When you’ve finished putting together an eGift, just click “Send eGift”, and an email will be delivered to your recipient’s inbox. Then, they can select the item they’d like to receive. Your account will be automatically billed (and you’ll earn the corresponding amount of Cashback!), and their choice will be mailed directly to their address. What could be easier? eGifts are also perfect for last-minute presents! Give the gift of choice with eGifts. You can find out more by watching Market America’s informative video – and be sure to share it with your customers!

When they’re done, they can share their Santa’s List across their social networks – or yours! You can also share them via email. It’s a great way to help family members and friends pick out the perfect presents for kids.

MyLists: Kids aren’t the only ones hoping for some great gifts this season! MyLists are the perfect way to pick out your favorite items and share them with your social networks.

Just pick out your dream items and click “Add to MyList.” Choose the MyList you’ve selected for your holiday wishlist, and add items until you’re satisfied.
