4th July 2004, Dubai (UAE): Flip Media has today launched Dubai's first internet based DVD and Sony Playstation video rental store .The website DVDCafes.com is the UAE's largest online shopping mall of DVDs that can be rented and purchased online. The site is designed, programmed and marketed by Flip Media Dubai, one of the UAE's leading interactive agencies.

DVDCafes.com is the easiest way to rent movies on DVD. With no late fees, DVDCafes.com lets you choose movies over the Internet from an extensive selection of DVDs with over 5,000 titles. DVDCafes.com has already acquired more than 1,000 customers during the initial promoting of the website and is dedicated to growing business through online marketing and e-Commerce.

Vaatche Arsene, Business Development Manager DVDCafes.com announced: "Dubai is one of the Middle East's fastest growing entertainment markets and the service offered by DVDCafes.com is unique and creative. Customers have long demanded for a service capable of delivering DVD's to their home without the inconvenience of having to drive through Dubai's busy roads and get to video rental stores. Entertainment services such as Cable and Satellite are limited, movies are shown repeatedly and their selection is small, sometimes the movies customers want to see are not available till the Cable and Satellite stations broadcast them. Online DVD rental and purchase has long existed in Europe and the US and has proved its popularity as one of the most successful entertainment services that customers enjoy. With DVDCafes.com, you have the convenience of watching any movie you want at any time. You don't have to worry about recording or missing your favorite show, you can play the movie as many times as you want at your leisure."

The website will be an essential tool for DVDCafes.com to enhance its business - through the e-Commerce driven site that is directly connected to the in-store sales system which caters for secure payment and on-time dispatch of orders. Users of the website can place their orders directly through the website, via email and even at a later stage, through a mobile phone gateway.

"I am glad to see another 'traditional offline' client re-think and to invest into an online solution", says Martin Diessner, Business Development Director, Flip Media. "It's imperative for almost every service oriented business to extend its channels of distribution by integrating an online element which will cater for future growth. We have built the site in a way that all users are automatically profiled by certain demographic criteria, and at a later stage we will be offering customized products that will match their interests", adds Diessner.

The website is located at www.dvdcafes.com and early customer registrations will be awarded with free credits and other promotional offers.
