Combined Sales Incentives Including Gift Cards Will Boost Revenue in Recessionary Economy Says Industry Veteran   Better ATM Services' CEO Todd Nuttall says merchants and the ATM industry can look to the linkage of prepaid media, premiums, and incentives to ignite consumer spending. According to Nuttall, "Consumers are very cautious about how they are spending hard earned dollars in these uncertain economic times. They're looking for ways to expand their buying power to get the maximum bang for their buck." With economists and leading financial analysts predicting another year to two years before key sectors like the housing industry will see a real recovery, Nuttall says offering consumers a value-added proposition will fuel consumer spending and drive consumer choices. Says Nuttall," Gift cards linked to premiums and incentives that offer discounts for other merchandise, on future purchases, or bonuses are viewed as dollar stretching investments by worried consumers." 2008-04-07
