DirectCertificates, a property of DirectStuff.com™, is a premiere online gift certificate aggregator delivering both physical and electronic gift certificates.
DirectCertificates offers corporate customers spacious incentive solutions. The service simplifies the process of initiating gift certificates to be used as incentive tools or prize rewards by combining depth of product with an uncomplicated administrative tool.

Sales managers and human resource executives using DirectCertificates' products and technology have an easily accessible one-stop shop that is available upon demand.
Companies likeWinDough.com realize benefits from certificate outsourcing by not only expanding the selection and flexibility to prizewinners, but also through the time that is made available to focus on their core businesses. By offering DirectGift™, a universal gift certificate redeemable at www.DirectCertificates.com, WinDough.com's prizewinners are able to redeem DirectGifts on a dollar-for-dollar basis for gift certificates from hundreds of traditional and online companies.

In addition to a wide list of gift certificates, DirectCertificates also provides control tools. As a tool, DirectCertificates technology saves time spent planning, buying, managing, and delivering rewards programs. The front-end software system distills the process down to typing in an email or pasting in a list of addresses. There is even latitude to purchase gift certificates in bulk or spontaneously.
"We are always working to provide our customers with a service that makes their jobs easier," said Craig Campbell, director of business development for DirectCertificates. "The Internet is an excellent medium for gift certificates because it is fast, flexible and inclusive. Those elements, combined with the depth of our ever-expanding merchant list and our powerful front-end software, present an irresistible option if you're dealing with incentives."
