Savvy Consumers Rush to Website For Unprecedented Limited-Time Offer
Giving2Gether.org sees tremendous membership growth as "in-the-know" online shoppers learn about new offer.
(PRWEB) July 8, 2005 -- Atlanta-based Giving2Gether.org is reporting huge
gains in membership as a recent promotional offer makes the rounds among savvy
Web users.
"We've seen growth over the last week alone unlike anything
we've had to date", said founder, Vince Martin. "The word has gotten out about
what we're offering and I guess its understandable that people are rushing to
take advantage of it."
Giving2Gether.org is the online shopping community
that allows its members to earn cash back at popular retailers such as Best Buy,
Old Navy, Gap, Target, Walmart and more. While "rewards" credit cards typically
offer 1% cash back, Giving2Gether.org was offering up to 17.5%. However, all of
the current buzz is centered around a recent promotion that doubles that amount
up to 35% through December 2005.
"I think some people are calling us
crazy, but that's alright," laughs Martin. "Obviously, we can't offer this too
much longer, but we're certainly glad to see people taking advantage of it. I
think about those so-called rewards cards that give 1% or so, but charge the
carholder 15% in interest. He're we are giving up to 35 times that amount back
to our members and not charging anything. It's almost funny when you think about
the difference."
But, Giving2Gether.org actually has a two-fold mission,
which Martin says is the inspiration for the incredible offer.
The first
mission is to empower consumers by helping them to obtain unprecedented savings
while shopping online. The company believes that consumers are too often treated
like victims when they really have tremendous power.
The second mission
is to make a real impact on the world by allowing members to direct up to 100%
of their rebates to schools or registered nonprofits of their
choosing.
"At the end of the day we're about helping people. We help our
members by giving them back their power as consumers. And we help those in need
by giving our members an easy way to donate to worthwhile causes. It's a great
feeling and I wish we could keep this promotion going forever."
