Anything to Help a Friend!
I have a long time friend, Gerald Buckley, who is about to launch an Internet start-up that everyone I know would benefit from. I have known Gerald for almost twenty years, and can’t believe I just wrote that! I say that because I know trust is always in the back of your mind when you run across a web business. You just don’t have the benefit of a brick and mortar brand presence to help establish trust. So, consider this a personal introduction to my friend Gerald.
Anyway, his business is not at all related to scrapbooking. But, it will help you save money, and that can enable your craft addiction. So there, I tied it back to my blog theme!
Gerald’s business is called “Grocio” and it is set to launch in November. In a nutshell, you enter your grocery shopping list, select your preferred shopping destinations, enter coupons if you happen to already have some, specify any brand preferences and then let Grocio work its magic. It will tally your grocery bill at each store and tell you where you will get the most bang for your buck. Then it gives you a PDF with coupons pertinent to your list!
Now who couldn’t use that? So, go to www.grocio.com and pre-register to be notified about their product launch date. It is free to register. Here is a video that shows you the user experience. It looks easy to me!
Gerald is hoping to pre-register users in all 50 states before October 1st. He is giving away a $200 prize to whoever sends him the most leads. That is not why I’m blogging about it, I’m genuinely interested in helping him out. But, after you register you can email all your friends and family to participate in the contest too. That is only a week away, so go register today! PLEASE use my referral code so Gerald knows I sent you: HTEN. He is actually offering triple credit for registrations in the following states:
Hawaii
Alaska
Idaho
Nevada
Wyoming
North Dakota
South Dakota
Nebraska
Minnesota
Iowa
Wisconsin
Indiana
Louisiana
West Virginia
South Carolina
Vermont
New Hampshire
If you go watch the video you will see that while there are some competing products there is not anything that does comparison shopping AND coupons for you in the market today! In today’s economy who isn’t trying to save money wherever they can?
