Payment Data Systems (OTCBB: PYDS)

Dear Members,

A few days back we saw Payment Data Systems put out THIS RELEASE (Payment Data Systems Announces Record Transaction Volumes for the Fourth Quarter and for the Fiscal Year) in which they shared the following:

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

The Company’s 4Q processing volumes were the highest in Company history, with increases of 118% over 3Q.

4Q ACH Returned Check Transactions increased 125% over 3Q (Yes, these are revenue generating transactions for PYDS – and not a negative).

4Q Credit Card Processing Volumes were the highest of any quarter in the prior two years.

This is Huge: “During the month of December we saw credit card dollars processed increase by 40% over November of 2011 and increased by 26% over same period in 2010.” (quote from press release cited above)

All 2011 Annual Processing Results:

ACH Processing Volumes were the highest in Company history. They were up 800% over 2010.

Credit Card Processing Volumes were the highest since 2009.

Credit Card Dollars Processed were up 38% over 2010.

PYDS’ Michael Long – The Company’s CEO – put it in perspective with this quote:

Michael Long, CEO, said, “The fourth quarter was a tremendous quarter for us. Our ACH processing volumes more than doubled the dramatic growth we experienced in the third quarter and December’s credit card processing was the best month in the history of the company. This growth has led to a dramatic, positive increase in revenues, gross profit, operating income and net income both for the fourth quarter and the year. We look forward to reporting record earnings for 2011.”

Long continued, “We were pleased to end the year as San Antonio, Texas’s top performing stock based upon the article written by David Hendricks, business columnist of the San Antonio Express News. Mr. Hendricks noted that, ‘The best San Antonio stock, technically, was Payment Data Systems Inc., which enjoyed a whopping gain of 340.91 percent . . . ‘”

Mr. Hendricks’s complete article is located HERE.

We see a significant upside to 2012.  More later today on PYDS.

Thank you!

Genius Brands International Names Denise Kovac Marketing Director and Head of New Direct Response Division

Kovac to Launch Q1 Direct Response Marketing Campaign for Award-Winning Baby Genius(R) DVDs and CDs

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Genius Brands International, Inc. (OTCQB:GNUS.OB - News), developer and marketer of entertainment products including the award-winningBaby Genius(R) line of music and education-based products and characters, today announced the appointment of Denise Kovac as Marketing Director.

A recognized leader in the direct response industry, Kovac joinsGenius Brands with more than 25 years of consumer product experience including product development, brand development and award-winning marketing in the $300 billion dollar direct response market.(Source: Electronic Retailing Association)

Throughout her career, Kovac served in top level executive positions at a number of other companies including COO of Your Baby Can, LLC; President of Thane Direct, USA; President of Bay Street Brands; and Vice President of Sales at Fitness Quest / Warner Vision where she also managed sales for Atlantic Records, Electra Records and Rhino Records divisions.

At her own consulting firm, Managed Full Service Marketing, Kovac successfully developed the Hercules Hook and Nicer Dicer brands, and managed Elysee Skin Care for HSN. Other brands that are part of Kovac’s career include: Dick Clark’s Greatest Hits of the 50′s, Grammy’s Greatest Moments, Country Grammy’s, Buns of Steel, Abs of Steel, Jane Fonda’s Step Aerobics, Sheena Easton’s 6 Second Abs, Joe Montana’s Fit One, Sugar Ray Leonard’s Slam Man, California Beauty, and Klear Action, among many others.

Kovac will immediately take the reins of the Company’s new Direct Response Division and launch the first direct response marketing campaign for our Baby Genius(R) DVDs and CDs. The worldwide campaign will launch in the U.S. in Q1 2012 with the airing of one and two-minute television commercials on national cable channels and broadcast television stations throughout the country. The campaign will coincide with the launch of a new Baby Genius(R) website created to facilitate quick fulfillment of orders generated by the TV spots for a broad collection of Baby Genius(R) DVDs, CDs, books and toys.

“This U.S. television campaign marks the beginning of our ambitious global marketing initiative under the direction of Denise Kovac. Denise is an award-winning direct response industry executive and we are very pleased to welcome her on board as marketing director to establish our direct response division. She has an amazing track record of building sales for products catering to young children and their families. We believe she can help us achieve similar results through our television campaigns,” stated Genius Brands Chairman and CEO, Klaus Moeller.

“Direct response marketing is a proven method for not only reaching parents who demand high quality, value priced products for their young children but also for providing a foundation for an effective, long term relationship with parents as consumers,” stated Kovac. “As a global brand with a solid reputation for meeting these demands, Baby Genius(R) is a perfect fit for a DR campaign that reaches the many parents who have grown to trust Baby Genius(R) and is certain to resonate with parents who are introduced to the brand on television.”

The next step in the campaign is to reach Spanish-speaking parents and children with offers for both Spanish and English-language Baby Genius(R) DVDs and CDs. The television commercials will be translated into Spanish and Genius Brands is currently seeking strategic partners to assist in this effort and beyond as Baby Genius(R) products are translated into even more languages.

In addition to supporting sales of DVDs and CDs, the entire campaign will build awareness for the Baby Genius(R) brand in anticipation of the fall 2012 launch of a new line of Baby Genius(R) musical and early learning toys from JAKKS Pacific’s (Nasdaq:JAKK - News) Tollytots(R) division.

Kovac boasts some of the industry’s top awards including: Marketer of the Year by Response Magazine; Best Short Form Advertisement and Best Long Form Advertisement by Electronic Retailer’s Association, two years in a row.
