I think it depends on many things...
Your own personality - do you prefer talking about business things face to face or with less personal communication?
The personality of your prospect?
Is your prospect Internet literate - are they online all the time or a bit scared of technology?
How many online contacts do you have? And how many 'offline' contacts?
Are you comfortable talking to strangers? If so you can start a conversation about TripleClicks and give them a gift card... if not, don't do it, it will only stress you! And be careful about approaching strangers online in case you get labelled or blocked as a spammer!
I prefer the digital TC gift cards because I live outside the USA and the shipping costs are high if you live elsewhere, but I still like to sit with someone to explain what it is and to make sure they can access the site properly with the card code.
I think that probably there are cultural differences that will make one method better than the other in some countries, but I don't have enough experience to help with that!
I would suggest that you try both to see which you prefer personally, and keep a log or diary when you start so you can track which works better for you with your contacts. You can add some notes to the TC gift card logging system on SFI, it may be enough to help you track them.
Enjoy it anyway!
