This is the month when flowers bloom, animals leave hibernation, drinks flow, the sun shines (well...during the day at least), love is in the air, the kids are out of school for a week, and green abounds.

New Year, New Stores
2010 may be the year of the tiger, but with over 500 retailers in our Mall (and more on the way), it will quickly become the year of the Blastoff shopper.

Now, members can exercise their right to receive cash back from Rockport, Wilson’s Leather, Ghiradelli, Clinique, and many other popular brands.
But hold onto those shopping carts because the news gets better. Some retailers have also increased their cash-back rewards, letting their loyal customers keep more of their hard-earned incomes. Combine these savings with great merchant specials, discount codes, and tax-free shopping at most stores, and your days of fighting for a parking space are history.

Internet Cash Back Shopping Network sees 25% sales increase over ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Cyber Monday’ Weekend
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. Home services (satellite, internet, cable, and phone) also come with cash-back rewards.

New Cash-back Shopping Website Tops Five Million in Sales
Viral ‘Social Shopping Network’ BlastoffNetwork.com hits record after Members go on ‘Cyber Monday’ Christmas Shopping Sprees
DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 8 – Dallas Start-up company, Blastoff Network, reached a critical milestone last week when they surpassed five (5) million dollars in gross sales – just six weeks after their official public launch. Christmas and holiday shopping, as well as strong word-of-mouth recommendations over social networks like Twitter and Facebook, have contributed heavily to the early success of this cash-back online shopping network. The website currently ranks in the Alexa Top 1000 Most Visited Sites in the U.S.
“Five million dollars in gross sales is an important figure so early in our existence, but what’s most important to us is that we have given back hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash-back rewards to our members.” says William Rodgers, Blastoff Network Founder and CEO. “Shopping online for Christmas and holiday gifts is gaining more acceptance by people worldwide, and BlastoffNetwork.com adds to that both with ‘social shopping’ and ‘cash-back rewards’ to provide our members with a very financial rewarding experience.”
Today Blastoff Network has a growing membership base of dedicated followers which they credit to their Internet and Social Marketing efforts and word-of-mouth advertising. “We’re experiencing unprecedented amounts of purchases because our Members are showing their friends and family that they can save up to 15% cash back from over 400 popular retail merchants in our online shopping mall and, make money off the purchases made by others in their network” says Rodgers. “It’s a message that is being extremely well received by cost-conscious shoppers in a down economy.”
From the convenience of the Blastoff Shopping website, members can access national department stores, boutiques and online retailers. In addition to the unique cash-back rewards, Blastoff members can also take advantage of merchant-offered 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.
