Gift Card and Loyalty Provider Determined to Stomp the Competition with the Introduction of PatronFlex

NORTHFIELD, NJ – October 18 (Preferred Market Solutions, LLC)- Preferred Market Solutions has just done the unthinkable. They’ve introduced a new program called PatronFlex, offering prospective merchants just that, flexibility to the extreme. With the introduction of PatronFlex, any company, large or small, can take advantage of three (3) full months of Gift Card and Loyalty program management plus a starter pack of 50 semi-custom full-color gift cards, absolutely free. There are no start up or activation costs involved and no contracts to sign, ever. In fact, the only costs involved are the costs to ship the program material to the merchant.

"We know our program is light years ahead of anything else on the market today. We introduced PatronFlex as an incentive to entice merchants to try our products and services. We are confident that a small investment in our merchants’ business will foster significant growth in ours," said Brett Perlman, Co-founder of Preferred Market Solutions. The underlying theory behind the program is that once merchants see for themselves what PatronFlex has to offer, they will simply want to continue for the long-term. None-the-less, any merchant who participates in the program will enjoy the freedom to cancel at any time, with absolutely no early termination penalties or fees. "We don’t want to be like other Gift Card providers who require merchants to sign long term, exclusive, contracts because they are afraid their customers are going to find a better solution," said Brett.

"We intentionally released this program now, in time for the holidays, to allow the smallest business to the largest multi-chain the ability to get started selling Gift Cards without delay and enjoy their share of the projected 55 billion dollar gift card industry," said Chris Sylvestri, Co-founder of Preferred Market Solutions.

PatronFlex is a no hassle Gift and Loyalty Card solution for any size business that runs on your PC (continuous internet connection via cable modem or DSL required).

Included with the PatronFlex program, the merchant gets three (3) months of Gift Card and Loyalty processing service and 50 semi-custom Gift Cards with their company name, address and phone number, with over 30 different graphics to choose from, all for free.

"Perhaps the greatest aspect of this program is the inclusion of our Loyalty package. Merchants finally have a low-cost avenue to see for themselves just how powerful this package really is," said Brett. The Preferred Patron Loyalty package is a full-featured loyalty marketing, customer tracking, problem management and resolution program.
