Melville, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/21/2014 -- Digital Processing Solutions, developer of the Digital Donations™ fundraising and marketing software, announced today the addition of Kevin Harrington to advise the company as it expands its reach into the direct response industry. Mr. Harrington is a pioneer and principal architect of the infomercial industry over the last 30 years. He will act as a liaison between the company's non-profit clients and the direct response industry.

Keith Orlean, President of Digital Processing Solutions, said, " Kevin's background and experience within the direct response industry is unparalleled. As we continue to expand our alternative fundraising capabilities, the direct response industry provides a wide variety of media, including DRTV, radio, mail, print advertising and the Internet for which to reach donors on behalf or our non-profit partners. Our charity partners will have the opportunity to be included in direct-response programs where marketers will create a call to action for donations during the sale and checkout process."

Kevin Harrington "As the direct response industry continues to evolve brands and marketers are continuously seeking new methods to improve sales. Associating products with a specific cause is a proven way to increase brand awareness and consumer confidence, which studies have shown, also lead to an increase in sales. I look forward to working with Digital Donations to develop a cause marketing strategy and presenting their fundraising solutions to the direct response industry. I believe this could be a paradigm shift in the way marketers present products."

About Kevin Harrington
In 1984, Kevin produced one of the direct response industry's first 30-minute infomercials. Since then, he has been involved with over 500 product launches that resulted in sales of over $4 billion worldwide with 20 products that reached individual sales of over $100 million. Kevin's company As Seen On TV, Inc. acquired the web property AsSeenonTV.com. AsSeenOnTV.com represents a highly trafficked catalog of direct response products with over two million customers, 700,000 email registrants and hundreds of thousands of unique visitors each month. Due to his extensive resume, TV Producer Mark Burnett selected Kevin as an investor "Shark" on the ABC television series Shark Tank. The show gives budding entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their products to a panel of acclaimed judges in hopes of turning their ideas into a successful business reality. He recently released a book entitled "Act Now: How I Turn Ideas into Million-Dollar Products" that chronicles his life and experiences in the DRTV industry.

Melville, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/17/2014 -- Digital Processing Solutions, developer of the Digital Donations™ interactive point of sale fundraising and marketing software, announced today the signing of a joint branding and marketing agreement with Merchant Rewards Network (MRN), developer of the Cascade CashBack Rewards Program and the Powered by Cascade™ Program. Participating charities will share in revenues derived from a co-branded MasterCard which will have their charity logo. These cards, which will be available for distribution to donors and other supporters of their cause, will also allow cardholders to earn CashBack Rewards by using the card and referring their friends and family to get and use a card as well.

Keith Orlean, President of Digital Processing Solutions "As we continue to expand on our suite of alternative fundraising solutions we believe the Powered by Cascade Program will add an important component to a charity's strategy of reaching individual donors. Research has shown that prepaid cards are currently the fastest growing type of non-cash payment cards, and that this trend is expected to continue. With the opportunity to automate fundraising for charities that participate in the Powered by Cascade™ Program, and for cardholders to receive CashBack Rewards based on card use and referrals of other cardholders, the co-branded Cascade Card has the opportunity to become the preferred choice for individuals to replace other forms of payment."

Josh Allen, Chief Operating Officer Merchant Rewards Network, "As we developed the Cascade Card, one of our goals was to provide our cardholders with additional benefits not traditionally offered by other card issuers or program managers. With cardholders able to earn CashBack Rewards, we felt that the viral and social nature of our card distribution strategy could significantly impact a non-profit's fundraising abilities. With an impressive list of charities already utilizing the Digital Donations fundraising technology, we believe they are the right partner to represent the Powered by Cascade Program to charities and to enable our Cascade cardholders the opportunity to effortlessly donate part of their CashBack Rewards to the charity of their choice."

About CASCADE CARD
Since 2009, we have enabled consumers to make purchases, pay bills and manage their money without the need for a checking account or credit history. With the Powered by Cascade Program, we are now adding the new dimension to CashBack Rewards. Cards that are Powered by Cascade feature 24/7 account access via online or phone, have no purchase fees, and pay CashBack Rewards to cardholders who spread the word about the card. At Cascade, we believe that it pays to be social.
