Friday, January 23rd, 2009Cherry Planet Launch

Cherry Planet launches new service to help businesses, customers and charities.

Cherry Planet offers free advertising to businesses. The advertising is in the form of coupons easily created by business operators on the CherryPlanet.com website. These coupons can be found by customers via search features on the website. The discounts provide a compelling incentive for customers to visit the businesses. Coupons are purchased at low cost (generally $1.00). Since the customer purchases the coupons, the service can be free to businesses. The customers are not losing out though since, they will save a minimum of $3.00 over the price of the coupons and often substantially more. Customers save money on their purchases and businesses save money on advertising while gaining or retaining customers.

In addition, Cherry Planet donates 10% of profits to select charities and supports local charities with a program where those charities who get businesses to sign up receive 10% of all coupon sales revenue for the businesses they sign up.

The website is currently in Beta testing, but is available for use. We encourage users to contact us with any suggestions or comments.
