General Growth Properties GGP will deploy GiftWise, the gift card vending solution from Self-Service Networks, at their properties prior to the 2011 holiday shopping season. GiftWise gives shopping centers a low cost way to present their gift card programs to shoppers.

Kim Fuhrman, vice president of marketing and gifting for General Growth Properties, said in a prepared statement, "Our goal is to provide our shoppers with an added amenity, convenience, and above all, a great product. We want our shoppers to walk away knowing they just experienced the best shopping experience possible. A gift card vending kiosk is a great service, especially this time of year when we're all trying to fit in holiday and birthday parties during our busy schedules. A gift card is a quick, easy, and thoughtful gift idea."

Rick Wessels, executive vice president for Self-Service Networks, said, "GGP's decision to adopt the GiftWise solution coincides with the release of several significant product enhancements. We have added a broad range of security, marketing and advertising features to GiftWise. It truly is a comprehensive solution for any organization that desires a low-cost prepaid card selling solution."

Available in outdoor, thru-wall and indoor configurations, the GiftWise kiosks enable 24/7 prepaid card sales in every type of environment.
