DOMINO'S PIZZA UK & IRL PLC ANNOUNCES E-FULFILMENT
DEAL WITH GAMEPLAY
Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc ('Domino's Pizza') announces a
marketing agreement with gameplay, a leading games
retailer, which marks a move into e-fulfilment.
In association with gameplay, Domino's Pizza, the first
pizza delivery brand in the world to offer both online and
interactive TV pizza ordering, will maximise its existing
delivery infrastructure and exclusively deliver advance
copies of the Electronic Arts Euro 2000 game for
Playstation one night before its consumer launch (Friday 5
May 2000).
Stephen Hemsley, Finance Director of Domino's explained:
'Domino's has long believed that e-commerce represents
enormous potential for our business, and we have the scale,
geographic spread and infrastructure to capitalise on these
opportunities and provide fulfilment. The agreement with
gameplay allows us to capitalise on this infrastructure and
underlines our dominance in this area by forging yet
another strategic alliance with a leading company.'
Consumers will be able to log onto gameplay's website
(www.gameplay.com), use a link to gameplay on the Domino's
website (www.dominos.co.uk) or use their Open interactive
TV from Thursday 13 April 2000 until Monday 1 May 2000 and
order the game in advance. On Thursday 4 May 2000 the Euro
2000 game will be delivered along with a large Pepperoni
Passion pizza and a bottle of coke for £29.99, the RRP of
the game when it is officially launched.
Since the launch of its online and interactive TV ordering
facilities at the end of 1999, the new sales channels have
accounted for over 2.5% of Domino's overall sales.
