Mall Networks and Good Sam Club Partner to Provide Online Shopping Malls for Good Sam Club Members
LEXINGTON, Mass. - Aug. 21, 2006 - Mall Networks, the company that connects top online retailers to the universe of consumer rewards programs, and Good Sam Club, the world’s largest RV owners organization with nearly one million member families, today announced a partnership to offer a customized online shopping mall to members of Good Sam Club. Through the partnership, Good Sam Club members will be able to quickly and easily earn “Good Sam Bucks”, which will be redeemable for cash back, with every purchase made at more than 300 online merchants including Best Buy, Lands’ End, Overstock.com and Priceline.
“We at the Good Sam Club are always looking for new ways to enhance the value of membership for our members,” said Sue Bray, President of the Good Sam Club. “We were particularly impressed with Mall Networks’ ability to deliver and manage a world-class solution that our members will embrace. Not only will members be able to accumulate points towards a cash back bonus, but in many cases they will be able to get tangible money-saving discounts while shopping that they would not have had access to before.”
“With nearly one million members, the Good Sam Club is the leading organization serving the popular and growing RV community,” said Dave Andre, President and CEO of Mall Networks. “They will be a fine complement to our fast growing client roster of other leading organizations including NASCAR RacePoints, the L.A. Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks. We look forward to providing Good Sam Club members with an online shopping experience that not only provides them with the best selection of online retailers, but rewards them financially for their affiliation with Good Sam Club.”
How it Works
Through the partnership, Mall Networks will develop, host and manage the Good Sam Club online mall. Starting in late September, Good Sam Club members will be able to log into the Good Sam Club Mall at www.goodsamclub.com where they can shop at more than 300 online merchants. Good Sam Club members will earn “Good Sam Bucks” for each purchase they make when shopping through the online mall. Merchants will provide additional incentives to Good Sam Club members to shop online through the mall, including special offers and bonus points.
