Clearhill, trusted by over 400 shopping centres and grocery locations across the UK and Ireland, has partnered with Crescent Shopping Centre in Limerick to deliver a fully managed Cleargift solution that will help boost sales, drive footfall, and enhance the customer experience.
As one of the most established shopping centres in Ireland’s Mid-West, Crescent has long been a cornerstone of community life. Home to more than 90 stores, a cinema, EV chargers, family-friendly services and dining options, the centre continues to evolve in line with shopper expectations.
Now, as part of its ongoing commitment to innovation, Crescent has introduced Cleargift – a managed gift card service from Clearhill that provides customers with greater flexibility while delivering strategic benefits for the Centre and its retailers.
Unlike standalone gift card options or DIY schemes, Cleargift is a fully supported Master Gift Card programme, managed on behalf of the Centre by Clearhill. From customer service hardware and reporting to restocking and account management, the solution offers a seamless, low-touch way to generate new revenue and drive loyalty through in-centre spend.
The new offering includes a secure self-service sales point where customers can buy gift cards at their convenience – even during peak periods or out of hours. Clearhill’s remote monitoring and daily account reconciliation mean the Crescent team can focus on running the Centre, while Clearhill manages the rest.
Crucially, the service also unlocks powerful data insights. Shopping centre teams receive detailed sales and usage reports, helping them understand purchasing behaviour and plan smarter marketing campaigns around peak seasons and promotional opportunities.
Brian McAreavey, Managing Director at Clearhill, commented: “Our mission is to create services that not only meet consumer needs but actively help centres grow. Cleargift at Crescent is a brilliant example of that – a managed service that removes complexity and delivers tangible value. We’re proud to be part of Crescent’s continued success story.”
Brian O’Leary, Centre Manager at Crescent Shopping Centre, added: “We were looking for a way to modernise our gift card programme in a way that didn’t increase the burden on our team. Clearhill’s managed solution gives us exactly that – a professional, low-effort setup that enhances the experience for our shoppers while supporting our retailers.”
Clearhill’s fully managed gift card solutions are helping centres like Crescent grow customer spend, increase operational efficiency and deliver a premium shopping experience that drives loyalty.
