LOUISVILLE, KY and HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 1, 2015) - Leading women's fashion accessories retailer Charming Charlie recently expanded its relationship with Stored Value Solutions (SVS) to offer eCommerce distribution of digital gift cards that will help fuel the company's continuous, rapid growth. Charming Charlie originally associated with leading global stored value provider SVS in 2012 for gift card processing in their over 340 stores across the U.S.
Recently celebrating its 10th year in business, Charming Charlie focuses on building its brand profile through a consistent omnichannel shopping experience. As a natural progression in the existing stored value partnership, Charming Charlie chose the SVS eCommerce platform due to its demonstrated strength, diverse customization options for greater consumer personalization and reliable support to launch in time for peak season 2014.
Notes Mark Schatz, SVS Managing Director and SVP, "Charming Charlie was a prime candidate for our eCommerce solution. They readily coordinated the input and support of their key departments including marketing, IT, finance, eComm and digital to ensure we could build a sophisticated, well-rounded program together that continually grows with the organization."
Since introducing online access to digital eCards to complement the availability of physical cards, Charming Charlie gift cards purchased online during the winter holiday season grew by an exponential rate year over year.
