Clarus Marketing Group LLC

Guest Post by Alexa Lee

Clarus Marketing Group LLC

There is a company out of Middletown, CT that is doing some great things for the rewards and promotions industry on the Internet. I’m of course talking about Clarus Marketing Group LLC , which over the past 10-plus years has become something of a big deal to avid online consumers and coupon enthusiasts. Through years of partnering with thousands of online vendors to create profit and benefit consumers, they’ve come up with the subscription members-only service I’d like to discuss briefly today.

Freeshipping.com is the brainchild of the experts and good folks over at Clarus Marketing, and it is coming at the rewards industry with some pretty interesting deals. As you might guess, the site is able to offer its members free shipping from any of the vendors in Clarus Marketing’s network, as well as additional discounts and savings at those same stores. Unlike other services, such as buying clubs or simple coupon programs, Clarus Marketing has found a way to give the consumer a greater berth when it comes to choice. That choice is something that we avid couponers value highly, because it means we can redeem the benefits of our membership in a more liberal way, where and when we please. It means we don’t have to be spending money on things we don’t want just to get the savings. Since Clarus Marketing has generated positive relationships with literally thousands of vendors in dozens of industries, the subscription service they offer means that your ability to save money is amplified through all those industries and all those products. For those of us who do a majority of our shopping online, things suddenly get a whole lot cheaper, and shipping charges become virtually non-existent.

Another wonderful thing about freeshipping.com, from where I stand, anyway, is that it is associated with such a well-known name like Clarus Marketing Group. This is a company that has an outstanding and pro-active policy towards customer service. Indeed, unlike so many other bargain or deal-sites, freeshipping.com is loaded with information and frequently asked questions about the service and what exactly you can expect to get from it. They also make a concerted effort to inform their prospective consumers of their rights to cancel, which is generally a good sign. Any company that can be confident enough to enact a no-questions-asked cancellation policy and then take such an active role in informing its consumers about it—as indeed Clarus Marketing does throughout the sign-up process—is surely the type we could use to see more of in online discount shopping .

It is this combination of things—the high quality services and useful benefits, as well as the attentiveness to customer needs and consumer protection—that always draws me to Clarus Marketing when people ask me about my favorite reward services. As an avid couponer, this combination I’m talking about is an obvious win. But I feel it necessary to point out for those who are just getting into the online rewards game or those looking for a new deal. Shopping online as a lone consumer can be frustrating and intimidating enough. It is the honest and practical consumer advocacy programs like those offered by the professionals at Clarus Marketing Group that can make the experience a little friendlier, and a little more fun.
