Nexon: 7-Eleven To Carry Nexon Cards

-Nexon and 7-Eleven have partnered to promote Nexon Game Cards in 7-11 stores. Sold in denominations of $10 and $25, the prepaid cards can be redeemed for in-game virtual items and accessories within Nexon's MapleStory, Audition and KartRider worlds.

7-Eleven and Nexon worked with InComm, a technology firm that develops, markets and distributes stored-value gift and prepaid products, to add the Nexon gift cards to 7-Eleven’s retail offering. Additionally, a 7-Eleven store and employee will appear in the MapleStory world, marking an entry for the convenience store into the virtual worlds space.

7-Eleven senior product director for business development and services Brad Haga said, "We have a great assortment of prepaid cards and now we have one especially for ‘tweens and teens who are the biggest fans of these online games. They’re perfect for young people on a budget and should appeal to the Slurpee-beverage crowd.”
