PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CashStar, the industry-leading provider of prepaid commerce solutions, today announced that Marcus Theatres®, a division of The Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS), is using the CashStar Commerce platform to power its new eGift Card program and give the gift of entertainment for the holidays.
Alongside CashStar Consumer, Marcus Theatres is using the CashStar Marketing application to offer a convenient gift option with a perk. This holiday season the company is giving $5 in Snack Cash with every $25 eGift Card purchase. Snack Cash, which is a food and beverage voucher valid for a future date at Marcus Theatres, can be used as part of a gift or it can be an incentive for the purchaser. With CashStar’s digital re-gifting capability, Snack Cash can be delivered to whomever the purchaser chooses.
“Creating a seamless and intuitive experience for our customers is of the highest priority to Marcus Theatres,” said Clint Wisialowski, Vice President of Sales at Marcus Theatres. “We evaluated CashStar after recognizing the need for a solution with a scalable, digital presence to keep up with demand, and realized partnering with them was the clear choice. With an easy, streamlined purchasing experience, secure check out and backend support, we can provide our guests with an excellent experience while continuing to grow our loyalty program.”
Marcus Theatres wanted to ensure its new eGift Card experience would be ready in time for the busy holiday season. In addition the company sought a solution that would maintain the brand’s look and feel throughout the customer’s purchasing process. As such, CashStar was selected for its speed and ease of implementation.
CashStar Commerce was quickly embedded into Marcus Theatres’ existing ecommerce platform, and adapted into use by Marcus® Hotels & Resorts. This division’s holiday promotion has gift card purchasers receiving a $25 bonus card with the purchase of every $100 gift card, redeemable at the company’s 18 hotels and resorts.
