WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA--(Marketwire - September 1, 2009) - Since launching late last year, BOGOPOD™ has seen visitors using its
email alerts and Web site for consumer savings increase by more than 1,000
percent, attracting tens of thousands of visits each month. The free email
and online service provides consumers in Ventura County with hundreds of
promotions and offers at their favorite local businesses, including
exclusive savings found only through BOGOPOD.com. As a result of growing
consumer interest, more than 35,000 special offers have been printed for
businesses in the local Ventura County area and BOGOPOD recently expanded
into San Fernando Valley, Calif.
and Portland, Ore.
In April 2009, BOGOPOD launched in the Portland market in partnership with
Portland Monthly, the city's largest magazine. Since that time, more than
50 businesses have added their offers to the local Portland BOGOPOD service, and
consumers have printed over 8,000 special offers.
"As consumers have become increasingly more cautious with how they spend
their money, we have seen tremendous growth in our bi-weekly email alerts
of special offers for consumers; and traffic to our site has similarly
increased," said Adam Leff, CEO of Reach Pros, Inc., the owner and operator
of BOGOPOD. "BOGOPOD has become a must-visit online destination for people
before they head out to eat or shop. The fact that consumers can open an
email or go to BOGOPOD.com to find a special offer to save money at their
favorite local restaurant, spa or golf course has given BOGOPOD a lot of
credibility. And it has provided consumers with reasons to continually tune
into our emails and Web site."
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
Ventura County, San Fernando Valley or Portland can receive the free offers
by registering online at 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.
Leff added, "Since we launched BOGOPOD in Ventura County, Portland, and now
San Fernando Valley, we have received numerous inquiries from potential
partners across the country about bringing BOGOPOD to their communities. We
anticipate continued growth through these opportunities. The BOGOPOD
business model and technology has proven to be a great way for local
businesses and consumers to connect in a fast, convenient and
environmentally friendly way. We know it works well for both consumers and
businesses."
