HOUSTON -- TNR Entertainment Corp. here, which supplies DVD rental kiosks to chains like Kroger, H.E. Butt Grocery Co., Food Lion and Spartan, will launch a “Win Movies for a Year” promotion next week. For each of 45 days, one shopper‘s name will be randomly chosen to receive free movies for a year. The promotion runs from March 16 through April 29 at all 1,500 locations of The New Release kiosks in 30 states. The winners will receive a New Release-branded Visa check card with $365, plus tax, pre-loaded. TNR typically rents DVDs for $1 a night. No purchase is necessary to enter, and both new and existing New Release renters are invited to participate. Shoppers can rent up to three movies per day. “This special promotion is a win for our retail partners as well, who benefit from what we expect will be greater traffic during the promotion,” said Tony Sciolla, chief marketing officer for TNR. “We know the winners will definitely be making additional trips for their daily DVDs.”
