Bio
Kathleen Henderson
When I think of Deb Merkin, I think of someone who is energetic, professional, innovative, some one who gets things done and best of all does it all with grace and a sense of humor. Deb’s business is helping clients achieve their business and financial objectives and I cannot think of anyone that I would trust more with that job than Deb and her partner Ed. She is tenacious on behalf of her clients and treats their business as her own. Deb Merkin and by extension Gift Card Partners is one of the best investments you can make in developing a strong and profitable B to B gift card business.

I've worked with Deb for close to 10 years. Whenever I have an opportunity or an interesting idea, I go to her first. She has terrific insights and is always working to take opportunities to the next level for her clients. She is blessed with amazing sales abilities as well as a strong creative mind..... not to mention, she's always 100% focused on getting the job done (right) and doesn't rest until it is. I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from Deb over the years.
