(August 28, 2006) SAN ANTONIO – Clarke American’s latest designer checks feature some of the world’s most beloved Disney characters. Beginning August 27, Clarke American’s new Disney checks will be available in four designs including Winnie the Pooh & Friends, Mickey Thru The Years, Disney Friends and Mickey & Friends.
“The enchanting and whimsical nature of every character is captured in each new and imaginative design,” said Debra Corwin, Vice President of Marketing for Clarke American. “These new Disney check options will offer our partners and their customers more variety than ever before.”
Each designer check series is unique and features classic Disney moments. Winnie the Pooh & Friends showcases such favorite characters as Christopher Robin, Tigger, and Piglet, as well as Winnie the Pooh himself, and captures the story’s essence, which has delighted children and adults alike for 80 years. Mickey Thru The Years shows the evolution of Disney’s iconic character through some of his most famous moments—from his debut in Steamboat Willie through Fantasia to modern-day. The Disney Friends series features treasured friendships from The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Bambi and Peter Pan, just to name a few, while Mickey & Friends highlights the much-loved characters of Goofy, Donald Duck and Pluto, as well as the legendary Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Every Disney check order will include a complimentary sheet of matching address labels. Other coordinating products, including Disney-themed debit card holders, checkbook covers and a travel organizer, can be ordered separately. ValuePacks®, which include Disney checks along with a matching checkbook cover and address labels at a savings of up to 35 percent, are also available for purchase. All Disney check orders will be sent via CheckProtectSM, which provides secure, trackable delivery of the new exclusive checks and offers an additional layer of protection for account holders’ financial information.
As an added service for financial institution partners and their customers, Disney-themed in-branch materials are available that outline the basic information customers need to order their Disney checks via phone or the Internet at checkreorderexpress.com. Additional marketing resources, including articles and ads for newsletters and other in-branch collateral, will also be available at Clarke American’s website. This online resource center will enable Clarke American partners to more actively market the new designer check offering within the branches themselves and expose customers to the new Disney check designs.
