InComm Europe Named Best Prepaid Product Distributor
By Incomm, PRNETuesday, October 19, 2010
Vanilla MasterCard(R) Prepaid Gift Card, Developed in Conjunction with PrePay Solutions, also Named the Best Prepaid Gift Programme at the 2010 Prepaid Awards
ATLANTA, October 20, 2010 - InComm, the leader in sales and marketing of prepaid products and
innovator of transaction processing, won two coveted awards at the second
annual Prepaid Awards in London: Best Prepaid Product Distributor; and Best
Prepaid Gift Programme, for partnering with PrePay Solutions to develop the
Vanilla MasterCard(R) Prepaid Gift Card.
The Prepaid Awards was created to celebrate innovation and best practice
within the prepaid industry, and InComm's win in both categories validates
InComm's position as the leading provider and distributor of gift cards in
the UK and Europe. Winners were determined by a judging panel of independent
experts with experience and insight into different aspects of the industry.
"I am delighted that our partners and peers in the prepaid industry have
selected InComm Europe as the Best Prepaid Product Distributor," said Phil
Evason, Managing Director of InComm Europe Ltd. "We are proud that our
commitment continues to bring such great success to our merchant and product
partners."
Since launching the first UK Gift Card Display in October 2006, InComm
Europe Ltd. has expanded its product offerings to thousands of retail
locations in eight European countries. InComm now offers Europe's largest
distribution footprint and most extensive product portfolio.
"Innovation has always been a cornerstone of our success," said Frank
Monaco, Vice President, and Managing Director International at InComm. "The
innovative packaging and positioning of the Vanilla MasterCard(R) Prepaid
Gift Card we developed with PrePay Solutions is just another manifestation of
how we help shape consumer expectations and the industry."
InComm Europe and PrePay Solutions launched the Vanilla MasterCard(R)
Prepaid Gift Card in October 2009. Both companies jointly identified an
opportunity to fill a void in the UK marketplace by offering an attractive
and appealing Open Loop prepaid card that can serve as a gifting product, as
opposed to exclusively self-use. Within 16 weeks from concept to inception,
the cards launched in Sainsbury's stores across the UK. The programme was the
biggest MasterCard(R) launch in the UK, and includes a range of cards
covering all occasions.
