About Gift Voucher Shop Ireland
The Gift Voucher Shop(GVS), is the brain child of entrepreneur Michael Dawson. In 2000 Dawson had found himself unable to buy a gift voucher for this mother’s birthday because he couldn't find the time to travel across the city to make the purchase in person. The chastening experience made him realise that there had to be a better and more convenient way to buy such a flexible gift like a gift voucher. The Gift Voucher Shop (GVS) start-up was formed in 2001. After a year of aggressive retailer recruitment and forming a strategic partnership with An Post GVS launched in Ireland in September 2002. Key to the brain-child was distribution and this is what the Post Office network provided - an unmatched distribution outlet for Ireland’s retailers and an unrivalled service for consumers. The service that launched in 2002 was store- branded paper gift vouchers for 500 retailers sold through 1,000 Post Offices nationwide, online and through a corporate sales team.
