NEIGHBORHOOD BOX OFFICE INC. (NBO) SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH ONE OF THE TOP
(PR Newswire; 08/12/98)
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Mall gift certificate purchases -- now
made easier! Neighborhood Box Office Inc. (NBO) located in Salt Lake City,
Utah has entered into an agreement to provide an electronic interactive kiosk
system designed to distribute mall gift certificates in certain regional
shopping centers in the greater Chicago market and in Massachusetts,
California, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Florida.
The gift certificates will be distributed through NBO's interactive touch
screen kiosks, making the actual purchase of mail gift certificates less time
consuming and more convenient for customers. Gift certificates purchased may be
redeemed at any store within the participating shopping centers. The NBO
kiosks will be located in the common area of each shopping center allowing
customers direct access to the touch screen kiosks while enjoying their
shopping experience.
Due to expense and the cumbersome nature of administrating mall gift
certificates, many leading shopping center owners/managers have discontinued
their mall gift certificate programs. The NBO interactive system eliminates
all concerns traditionally associated with gift certificate programs, making
the process more efficient and profitable. With the availability of this
technology many consumers will, once again, enjoy the convenience and service
associated with purchasing mall gift certificates. Once the NBO system is in
place selling mall gift certificates, individual mall stores and anchor stores
can be added to the system, should the mall choose.
Neighborhood Box Office's Chairman/CEO, Keith A. Guevara states, "The agreement
allows the industry to reach a significant milestone in the distribution of
mall gift certificates as well as individual store gift certificates.
Difficulties currently facing consumers when purchasing certificates, such as
long lines and hard-to-find distribution points, will now be eliminated with
the NBO system, allowing each customer fast, convenient access to mall gift
certificates. Attractive kiosks centrally located in the common area will also
raise awareness to customers who are not currently aware that mall gift
certificates exist."
Neighborhood Box Office Inc. is in business to develop, market, own and operate
remote automated ticketing and gift certificate kiosk systems. With systems
currently in place in New York, Michigan, Colorado and Utah, NBO has become a
national leader in transactional interactive kiosk technology and takes pride
in offering complete development services including customized software
development, hardware integration, communication capabilities and customized
kiosk design for both transactional and informational situations. For
