More than 90% of Employees Prefer the Ecount® Holiday Rewards Program

Now companies can give employees what they want this holiday season

Conshohocken, PA, August 23, 2005 - Ecount, the stored value experts, announced today that an overwhelming majority of employees prefer the freedom and flexibility of the Ecount Holiday Rewards program. Ecount Holiday Rewards are branded VisaĻ prepaid cards that provide a memorable reward, which employees can use at their discretion.

"Companies providing an employee "thank you" this holiday season are looking for a thoughtful, useful and easy-to-fulfill reward," stated Matt Gillin, CEO of Ecount. "The Ecount Holiday Reward is preferred by more than 90% of employees, allowing them to purchase what they truly need - or want - this holiday season. In addition to overwhelming employee satisfaction, companies benefit from our hassle-free fulfillment. Our programs are fully customized and can be implemented for last-minute programs."

More than 90% of Ecount cardholders, polled in a recent survey, prefer the Ecount Holiday Rewards program to previous holiday gifts, including checks, single merchant gift cards and merchandise. Preference was based primarily on the convenience and universal appeal of the Ecount Card.

"It has long been documented that the primary employee motivator is money; however it is often considered an impersonal gesture, especially during the holiday season. With Ecount Holiday Rewards, companies can now deliver a customized reward with universal appeal," continued Gillin.

With Ecount's turn-key implementation, companies can easily eliminate the stress of trying to decide what merchandise or gift card employees want this holiday. The Ecount Holiday Rewards Program provides a branded holiday card to employees that can be used everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. And, with the ability to brand all Ecount programs, employees are constantly reminded that they were rewarded for a job well done.
