Leading Gift Card
Distributor will Leverage CashStar's eCorporate Incentives
Platform to Deliver Digital Gift Cards to Thousands of
Customers
LAS VEGAS Feb. 22,
2010 - CashStar, the digital gifting and incentives
company, announced today at the PrePaid Expo that it has
formed a strategic partnership with National Gift Card
Corporation (NGC), a leading distributor of discounted gift
cards, to deliver CashStar-powered digital gift cards to
thousands of NGC's corporate customers.
As the leading
provider of discounted retail gift cards for corporate,
incentives, motivation, recognition and performance
programs, NGC markets and distributes hundreds of nationally
recognized retailer gift cards to its corporate clients.
With this new partnership, NGC will utilize CashStar's
eCorporate Incentives platform, the industry's first B2B
digital gifting solution, to deliver digital gift cards to
its customers.
By leveraging
CashStar's platform, NGC can easily deliver
highly-personalized digital gift cards through an
easy-to-use Web interface simply by importing recipients,
entering personalized messages and selecting card designs
and values. These cards can be co-branded with a
corporation's logo and can be immediately delivered to
recipients via e-mail to use online or in-store.
There was a clear
market need for a digital incentive solution that simplifies
the order and delivery process of gift cards, said Rick
Rubin, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at National
Gift Card. CashStar's eCorporate Incentives platform
delivers this convenience, and provides unparalleled levels
of personalization for our customers unlike anything else on
the market. Our partnership with Cashstar provides another
technology solution and offers alternatives for our
corporate customers. We are excited to build on this
partnership in the coming months and roll-out all facets of
CashStar's corporate digital incentive solutions.
CashStar Co-founder
and CEO David Stone comments, We are pleased to partner with
NGC to leverage their longstanding and deep relationships
with leading retailers across the country, while providing
new and innovative digital solutions for the corporate
incentives market.
