Update
epay Germany expands its multi-brand voucher family “Gutscheinfreude” magazine voucher and well-known book voucher now available at retailer EDEKA
“Multi-brand gift cards, which we also distribute, are very popular with consumers and are among the top ten gift card categories sold on the market. The new multi-brand gift cards in our own product family “Gutscheinfreude” bring together popular brands on the same theme – i.e. associated with a specific consumer need or hobby – without specifying one brand. After the 2019 launch of the KINO gift card, which includes fourlarge movie theater chains and over 180 movie theaters across Germany, we now have two attractive gift cards for readers in our portfolio: the BÜCHER book gift card and the MAGAZIN gift card.“
– Volker Patzak,
Director of Business Development at epay
