WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA--(Marketwire - September 29, 2009) - Consumers in Los Angeles have a new
way to save money at their favorite local businesses as BOGOPOD and LA
Weekly today announced the launch of LAWeeklyDirect.com. The free
service provides consumer access to exclusive savings and offers from area
restaurants, service providers, health and beauty retailers and
entertainment attractions by clicking on the "Click & Save" banner on LAWeekly.com or by visiting LAWeeklyDirect.com. Visitors to
the sites can print the offers, as well as register to receive bi-weekly
email alerts that contain the latest promotions and special offers for
popular area businesses.
Los Angeles is the fourth market for BOGOPOD, which also serves consumers in
Ventura County and San Fernando Valley, Calif., and is the second area
launch with a media partner. BOGOPOD launched the Portland, Ore. market
earlier this year with Portland
Monthly, the city's largest magazine. LAWeeklyDirect.com launched with
special offers from several of the area's popular businesses, including Amoeba Music, Marco's Trattoria & Pizzeria, Michael's Bar & Grill, Spa Luce, and The Winehouse.
"LA Weekly has been a trusted guide to the best of Los Angeles for
decades," said Beth Sestanovich, LA Weekly's Group Publisher. "And now,
with BOGOPOD, we are not only connecting our readers with great places, we
are also helping them find great deals to save money!"
"Entering the Los Angeles market is truly a milestone for our young
company, and we look forward to the potential that our partnership with LA
Weekly has for our two organizations, as well as the benefits for consumers
and local businesses," said Adam Leff, CEO of Reach Pros, Inc., owner and
operator of BOGOPOD. "Los Angeles has a business community unlike any in
the world. We are very excited to work with LA Weekly to connect more
people with their favorite businesses so they can save money at the places
they visit and on things they do every day."
BOGOPOD, which stands for Buy-One-Get-One-Plus-Other-Discounts, is a free
service for consumers. A vast selection of special offers is combined into
a single email that is sent to area residents and businesses every two
weeks. People that live and work in Los Angeles can receive the free offers
by registering online at LAWeeklyDirect.com, BOGOPOD.com, or at participating local
businesses. In addition, consumers can follow BOGOPOD on Twitter, or become a friend or
fan on MySpace and Facebook
to receive BOGOPOD's special offer alerts. BOGOPOD has already
provided consumers with more than 50,000 printed offers for savings at
their favorite businesses.
