SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc. (Velocitymoney.com) and SKI Motorsports
#30 NASCAR Nationwide Series Team Launch “Dare to Dream” Sweepstakes for
“VIP Experience” at Upcoming Race Events
SAN ANTONIO,TX April 8 – 10:30 am
As Stated by SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc. (Pink Sheets: SMKG - News; QYH: Frankfurt) CEO Massimo Barone announced the launch of a sweepstakes
in connection with the SKI Motorsports #30 Nationwide Series car. VelocityMoney.com is a proud associate sponsor of the SKI Motorsports/NOS Energy Drink team
during their 2008 NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series campaigns with driver Stanton Barrett. The “Dare to Dream” Sweepstakes offers a “VIP Experience” to three winners,
including extraordinary access to the car, team, and driver during selected NASCAR Nationwide Series race events throughout the 2008 season.
Bruce Baillio, President of SMKG said, “This is a stock car fan’s dream. The winners will be able to get ‘up close and personal’ with
what goes on behind the scenes of a major race. The prize even includes special access credentials, hospitality passes, two nights lodging and a
commemorative video taken of the winners with the car and driver.”
This associate sponsorship is an obvious attraction for a company looking to build brand awareness through the unequaled fan loyalty of stock car racing
as well as the exposure opportunities offered through NASCAR’s network television package. FOX, TNT, ESPN, and ABC broadcast NASCAR Sprint Cup events in 2008, while ESPN2 and ABC
airs the Nationwide Series with SPEED adding a full schedule of weekly shows and at-track coverage. Smartcard Marketing Systems CEO Massimo Barone stated,
“This will create an excellent opportunity to introduce the VelocityMoney.com products and services to millions of enthusiastic fans. We are looking for thousands
of individuals and small business owners to respond to this promotion.”
Fans only need to go to VelocityMoney.com/sweepstakes and fill out an entry form for a chance to win. No purchase is necessary. If the fan signs up for a
free VelocityMoney account, he/she gets another entry and any purchase on the site earns the account holder an additional entry into the sweepstakes. All reloads of any of VelocityMoney’s
prepaid products earns yet another chance to win. Fans can also enter by sending in a postcard with their name, address, phone number and email address to the sweepstakes address.
Official rules are posted on VelocityMoney.com/SWEEPSTAKES. The winners will be notified by email and/or telephone.
Historically SMKG has been focused on business-to-business sales and VelocityMoney.com represents the company’s first major push into direct to consumer marketing.
The “Dare to Dream” Sweepstakes theme will be carried through to other travel, sports and entertainment venues with which Smartcard Marketing Systems is involved.
SMKG expects to use sweepstakes promotions to accentuate its consumer marketing efforts in 2008.
