> New Low Cost Gift Registry for Independent Retailers
April 22, 2005
Includes In-store and Ecommerce Modules
WALNUT CREEK, CA. MarCole Interactive Systems, the leading provider of gift registry solutions for retailers - will introduce a new low cost version of Gift RegistryWorks at the Gourmet Housewares Show, May 17 to 19, 2005 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Independent Retailer Edition of Gift RegistryWorks is specifically designed for housewares, tabletop, gift, kitchenware, jewelry, baby, furniture, toy and game, electronics, hardware, lifestyle and similar retailers - with one to 20 stores.

Gift RegistryWorks was first introduced in 1991 and is used by many nationally recognized Department and Specialty chain stores. The new Independent Retailer Edition is a full-featured, modular, hosted service, starting at $99 a month. It enables independent retailers to offer their customers all the registry features the big guys provide - without the need to invest in special software or hardware; all that is needed is a PC and an internet connection.

Gift RegistryWorks supports any number of registry occasions including weddings, commitment ceremonies, anniversaries, housewarmings, baby showers, birthday, home remodel, charity and general-purpose wish lists and more. Wireless handheld scanners, touchscreen kiosks and purchase update interfaces to point-of-sale systems, are optionally available. The retailers' product information and images (if desired) can be loaded and maintained using easy-to-use automated or manual utilities. On demand reporting facilitates professional registry management.

With the optional ecommerce module, registries can be created, updated, retrieved and printed from the web. Secure transaction-processing enables gift purchases from anywhere in the world. The Internet functionality can be linked to a retailers existing web site, or MarCole can build one for less than $600 and host it for $15 a month. All web components are professionally branded with the retailers' logo, colors and selected images.

There is no long-term contract, and with the modular structure, retailers only pay for the features they need and they can change the options or cancel at any time.
