Consumers in Australia and New Zealand will soon be able to enjoy enhanced products and services and vastly improved purchase experiences as InComm, North America's leading provider of stored-value gift and prepaid products, is extending its product and technology solutions to the Australian and New Zealand marketplaces.
InComm will bring to these markets its industry-leading suite of products and services including gift cards, prepaid wireless, downloadable music, bill payment, reloadable debit cards and much more, complete with the most advanced retail delivery technologies designed to make buying easier for consumers, retailers and product providers.
InComm is in discussions with a number of leading retailers and product providers to develop a suite of gift cards and other products that will give consumers convenient shopping destinations to buy many popular products and services. InComm technology has defined the evolution of the prepaid marketplace in North America, and the company's product delivery and retail expertise will have a dramatic impact on both of these markets.
"We are excited about the opportunity to spread the benefits of our products, technologies and services to consumers, retailers and product providers in Australia and New Zealand," said Brooks Smith, InComm President and CEO. "We have revolutionized the product delivery and purchase, sale and redemption processes for stored-value products for many of the world's largest retailers and product providers, and these markets are a great fit for the international expansion of InComm's product sale and redemption expertise."
InComm technology delivers a number of fast-growing product categories through InComm's retail distribution network, the largest in the industry, including the leading retailers in the big box, grocery, chain drug, convenience, consumer electronics and other channels. Already the dominant provider in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, InComm recently extended its reach to Europe with the launch of products and services in the United Kingdom.
InComm has developed many patented and patent-pending technology solutions that have drastically improved the entire purchase process, including product design and packaging, distribution, retail activation and redemption, stored-value data management and more, making InComm the most complete provider in the marketplace today.
InComm has established an office in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to support InComm's strategic international expansion within the region. Tamara Boyer and Adam Seedsman have been appointed as joint Managing Directors of the Australia and New Zealand operation. Boyer and Seedsman previously directed the Coles Group and Myer gift card program, the largest program in Australia.
"Gift Cards will be an essential part of our offering in the region," Smith said. "We have seen consumers in the U.S. quickly embrace the convenience and selection that third-party gift card offerings provide, and we are very excited about developing this market in Australia under the leadership of Adam and Tamara."
