asknet Announces Partnership With Rebate Delivery, Allowing asknet Software Vendors to use Mail-in Rebates as a New Sales Enablement Tool
KARLSRUHE, Germany, March 18, 2010--
- Rebates are a Huge Worldwide Business
- Rebate Delivery is the First Global Rebate Service for Online
Sales, Operating the Consumer Portal GetMyRebate.com
asknet AG, recently ranked as one of Germany's fastest-growing technology
companies in Deloitte's "Technology Fast 50" report, announced Rebate
Delivery as its partner for worldwide purchase incentives/mail-in rebates.
Launched in early 2009 by a team of veterans from the software and
eCommerce/ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) industry, Rebate Delivery is
the leader in global mail-in rebate solutions for eCommerce. The company's
combination of traditional mail-in rebates with online sales of digital
products has resulted in a patent-pending solution.
Applying the concept of a traditional mail-in rebate program to the
international online marketplace requires a global rebate solution. Rebate
Delivery has created a new patent-pending technology and service by combining
global mail-in locations with global payment solutions, as well as robust
rebate creation, fulfillment, and tracking solutions. Unlike the traditional
mail-in rebate model, rebate forms are simple, no extra documentation is
required, and consumers who mail in rebate forms are paid immediately.
"Adding the best-in-class on-line rebate provider Rebate Delivery to our
portfolio of eMarketing services empowers our customers with even more
innovative online marketing and proven sales enablement tools. Now software
vendors partnering with asknet can use rebates as a discounting solution that
yields the same kind of positive sales results retailers have been
experiencing for years," says Mark R. Begin, Vice President of Global Account
Management at asknet Inc. "When rebates are done right, everyone wins:
eCommerce companies' revenues increase because gross sales are higher;
vendors profit from low redemption rates; and consumers ultimately pay less
for software while being introduced to more products via alternative offers."
Jason Foodman, CEO of Rebate Delivery, explains, "Rebates are an
excellent discounting and incentive method that work just as well online as
in retail - or better. The solution also takes advantage of the online
nature of transactions to provide consumers alternative offers in lieu of
claiming a rebate. Worldwide address verification is provided along with
archiving of electronic copies of all collateral documents for support and
reporting purposes."
