Outsourcing Trend Points to Camdens Corporate Gift Services; Camdens Offers Suite of New Solutions As A Full-Service B2B Corporate Gift Provider
Business Wire - September 19, 2000 13:30

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2000--With a trend toward outsourcing everything from employee benefits to office supply procurement, HR Managers, event planners, executives and their assistants would welcome a service providing a more efficient, cost effective, and manageable solution for their corporate gift programs.

With the launch of its new website, Camdens, a web-based provider of high-tech gifting solutions, offers just that -- a suite of innovative services to automate, track, control and maximize the effectiveness of reward and recognition programs.

"Camdens is dedicated to helping companies manage and improve their most important asset, namely, their relationships with their employees, customers, vendors and partners. By expanding our existing business to provide a broader range of services, Camdens has truly become a full service resource in the corporate gift industry providing not only a fine selection of business appropriate gifts, but event planning services, reward and recognition programs," says Fred Reffsin, CEO of Camdens.

While Camdens is effectively an outsourced service, the company provides clients with the tools to operate and manage as much of the process as they would like, thus allowing for greater levels of control and regulation. Camdens solves this problem by designing customized company websites that allow companies to manage their incentive, reward and recognition gift programs more efficiently and effectively. With unique features like detailed order and budget tracking, and a centralized system to manage employee access and use, companies gain a greater degree of control over their gifting programs, and the ability to reduce costs by minimizing manpower hours and leveraging their purchasing power on a corporate basis.

Camdens offers other unique technology and services that streamline the corporate gifting process and provides four distinct advantages:

-- Efficiency -- the service streamlines and automates what is

currently a manual and time-intensive process through such

features as Address book download which transfers the

information that already exists in the sender`s computer

contact folder or PDA address book into their Camdens account

manager file, and CamdensMail(TM) which lets users "send" a

gift via e-mail, and allows the recipient to schedule delivery

of their gift on a day and to a location that is most

convenient for them.

-- Effectiveness -- because of its unique technology services,

including Recipient`s Choice(TM) which allows the sender to

offer the recipient a selection of gifts to choose from, the

Camdens solution provides a superior gifting experience for

both the sender and recipient, greatly increasing a company`s

return on investment.

-- Control -- Camdens reporting, authorization and budgeting

features allow companies to impose a high level of control on

a traditionally unregulated and undisciplined activity.

Additional technology features allow for greater levels of

control as well. One such feature is Gift scheduler which

allows users to pre-plan sending a gift in advance,

eliminating the need for a "tickler" file or the risk of

forgetting an important date.

-- Cost -- Camdens saves companies real dollars in human capital

by taking enormous amounts of time out of the gifting process.

In addition, there are no up-front set-up fees or program

prepayments common with gift certificates or stored

value/debit cards you must "use it or lose it."

With two years of experience, Camdens has expanded its product selection to include a wide range of products and brand names, including desk accessories from Waterford Crystal and Morbier, home decor from Ralph Lauren Home and Kosta Boda, executive writing instruments from S.T. Dupont, Movado watches and gourmet foods from Dean & Deluca. Corporate customers can find the perfect gift for any occasion, from exclusive travel packages that reward extraordinary achievements to customized golf balls and trophies for the company golf tournament.

Camdens` newly designed website was created to help corporate customers enjoy a more easy and intuitive shopping experience. Camdens tapped the resources of Merkley Newman Harty Interactive for web site design and development. The new site features crisp graphics, less copy and a more easy-to-understand shopping and checkout process. The result is a stylish, dynamic site whose creative design and truly unique user interface is second only to its functionality and cutting edge technological platform from Intershop Enfinity.





Focused on Fortune 5000 corporations, Camdens` unique Relationship Management Service Platform is built on Intershop enfinity, one of the most advanced sell-side e-commerce platforms available today. Intershop enfinity`s Sell Anywhere capabilities, its open architecture based on Java and XML and its flexibility to integrate with external business systems are critical for Camdens to build world-class e-commerce solutions for the incentive, rewards and recognition industry.

"We are excited about Camdens` ability to develop groundbreaking features for selling gifts, rewards and incentive programs online," said Keith Costello, president of the Americas at Intershop. "Camdens` vision and technical prowess maximize the potential of Intershop enfinity as a highly customized business-to-business solution for selling direct and as an ASP platform to provide solutions and services to other businesses."

Camdens, headquartered in White Plains NY, can be located at www.camdens.com or at 1-800-CAMDENS. Investment in Camdens is led by Europ@web, the Internet investment company established by Group Arnault, the private holding company of French businessman Bernard Arnault, which controls the luxury group LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton; and ARCH Venture Partners, a premier provider of seed and early stage venture capital for technology firms.
