Boosted by exclusive holiday deals from retail partners, new online shopping mall BlastoffNetwork.com hits record sales, gives money back to Members
DALLAS – December 9, 2009 – Start-up Internet company, Blastoff Network, hit a record high last week when gross sales jumped 25% in part due to retail partners such as Southwest Airlines Vacations, CircuitCity.com and CompUSA offering exclusive savings on their products and services. This, after ComScore reported ‘Cyber Monday’ spending rose by only 5% in 2009.
“Our retail partners deserve all the credit for the jump in sales”, said Adam Smith, Co-Founder of Blastoff Network. “The kind of exclusive holiday deals they have provided to our members have spread word of mouth via social networks like Facebook and Twitter. It’s incredible to watch how fast these deals spread on the Internet.”
Just six weeks after their official public launch, the early success of this cash-back online shopping network is evident by its growing membership base, shooting into the Alexa Top 1000 Most Visited Sites in the U.S. and recently surpassing five (5) million dollars in gross sales.
“Cash-back shopping means a lot to our members and they have told us it does make a difference in this tough economy,” said William Rodgers, Founder and CEO of Blastoff Network. “That benefit coupled with the fact they can also make money through all of the holiday purchases made by everyone in their social shopping circle can add up to a significant amount of money, and we are more than happy to stuff their stockings with it.”
Since their public launch six weeks ago, Blastoff Network has grown exponentially, which they credit to their Internet and Social Marketing efforts, word-of-mouth advertising and the exclusive deals offered by their retail partners. “Sales averages continue to increase because our Members show their friends and family that they can save up to 15% cash back from over 400 popular retail merchants in our online shopping mall,” says Rodgers. “They can also show them the physical checks we send them for money they’ve made through their social shopping network. That’s when it really hits home for people.”
Shoppers can visit www.BlastoffNetwork.com to sign up and access over 400 retail national ‘big box’ department stores, boutiques, Internet retailers and travel websites. In addition to cash back rewards, Blastoff members also receive exclusive specials and coupons. The featured product, Blastoff Wireless, offers members huge discounts on new mobile phone plans and PDAs and, members may actually get paid for new activations.
