Serif (Europe) Ltd, the UK’s leading independent design, publishing and creative software developer, has announced that nine of its top software titles are now available on Play.com. The partnership adds another prominent brand to Serif’s current list of stockists and makes Serif software even more accessible to a wider audience.

The two companies decided to collaborate after meeting at RetailVision, the world’s leading retail channel event in Berlin last month, and it is hoped that the joint venture, which will be coordinated through Gem Distribution, will prove lucrative to both brands.

Richard Fitzgerald, Category Manager – PC Shop at Play.com said “we are very happy to add Serif software to our product range and are positive that the partnership will increase sales for both companies”.

“We are thrilled to be working with Play.com and it is very exciting to have nine of our top titles already online,” said Ellie Dyke Head of Business Development EMEA. “Play.com is an influential online brand with an extensive market reach that will help us introduce Serif software to a wider audience”.

The Serif software titles featuring on the website, PagePlus X3, PhotoPlus X3, DrawPlus X3, MoviePlus X3, WebPlus X2, Digital Photo Suite 2009, Internet Design Suite 2009, Desktop Publishing Suite 2009 and Digital Scrapbook Artist, are already available for pre-order.
