FlickStation Media and iDEA Partner to Help Video Retailers Optimize Their New Release Budgets for DVD

ATLANTA, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- FlickStation Media, a developer of innovative software for digital home entertainment, today announced a special promotion that enables members of the Independent Dealers of Entertainment Association (iDEA) to subscribe to the popular FlickBuyer DVD purchasing software at a discount of almost 40 percent.

The FlickBuyer software solution analyzes 26 different criteria for each New Release and advises the video retailer which titles and how many copies should be purchased, based on each store's budget. In addition, FlickBuyer's new Advanced Options allow video retailers to customize each store's customer base, using demographic filters. These filters are applied on a store-by-store basis and automatically carry through to consecutive months.

"Maintaining an optimal New Release purchasing strategy is one of the most difficult aspects for today's video retailers," says Dean Gebert, president of FlickStation Media. "FlickBuyer will help the iDEA's members optimize their New Release budgets for DVD."

Through the partnership, iDEA members will receive a $150 discount off the regular FlickBuyer subscription of $399, bringing the price down to $249 per year. Members can receive this discount through a special discount code, which is available on the iDEA's member website.

"Since the loss of the Movie Monitor service, iDEA has been searching for a solution that assists our members in making better buying decisions," noted James Loperfido, iDEA chair. "In combination with iDEA's free member benefit videoretailer.com service, we now offer a suite of products that every video retailer needs and wants. Those who use FlickBuyer will discover an invaluable tool that is like the Movie Monitor on steroids! Now that I am using it, I can't do without it."

From a single store to a large chain, FlickBuyer helps video retailers optimize their New Release DVD budget. For a free demo, visit http://www.flickbuyer.com/.
