Comdata(R) Enters into Strategic Alliance with Serious to Provide DVD Gift Cards.

New Personalized Marketing Mechanism Provides an Alternative Way to Reach Consumers

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. -- Comdata([R]) Stored Value Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Comdata Corporation, today announced a strategic alliance with Serious to offer DVD gift cards, allowing retailers to further personalize their gift cards and offer more value to their customers.

The DVD gift cards will provide interactive multimedia content, such as music downloads, movie clips, product descriptions, educational information, catalogs, games, and more. The cards work like traditional gift cards, with payment magnetic stripes on one side and DVD content housed on the flip side.

"The Comdata-Serious alliance will create a higher standard of personalization and interactivity in the gift card market," said Bob Skiba, executive vice president and general manager of Comdata Stored Value Solutions. "By making gift cards interactive, retailers can now truly give their customers a gift within a gift."

By housing DVDs on gift cards, users can now have an immediate experience upon receipt. Once a DVD gift card is received, the consumer can insert the gift card into a DVD player to review content. If items such as coupons are included on a DVD, users can redeem them immediately online.

"The benefits to retailers are tremendous," said Skiba. "Retailers can now drive more traffic to their Web sites as well as hold a captive target audience - consumers who have proactively decided to view a predetermined sales pitch via a DVD gift card."

"This is gift cards on steroids," said Skiba. "DVD gift cards are a natural fit for retailers that do a significant amount of catalog and online business. Putting an entire catalog on a gift card to replace print versions can significantly reduce a retailer's overhead."

"We are delighted to partner with Comdata since they are a processor who has been strongly advocating the need for innovation in the marketplace," said David J Brown, CEO, Serious USA Inc. "Comdata's alignment with Serious underscores the commitment to introduce these innovations into the marketplace, providing more choice for customers."

"The functionality of the DVD gift card provides the ultimate integration of media, product and sales strategies, as well as creative differentiation to help retailers gain market share, quicker conversion of the cash to a sale and leveraged value to their core business," said Brown.

This new product will be available to all existing Comdata customers, both domestically and internationally.
