New Web Site Lists Discounts And Deals For 50 Plus Boomers
50plusDeals.com editors find age-related deals and discounts available to people over 50, including travel deals, finance, housing, Health, anti-aging, dating, home and shopping.
(PRWeb) November 19, 2008 -- Why wait until you're 65 to get age-related discounts? Just when economic conditions are forcing millions of Americans to look for savings, a new Web site has collected listings of discounts available to people over 50.
WWW.50PlusDeals.com, launched this month, has sifted through thousands of sources to find hundreds of age-related deals and discounts available nationally or regionally in 13 major product and service categories ranging from travel to education.
The listings can be browsed or searched by the age at which they are available (over 50, 55, 60 or 65) or by more than 50 sub-categories.
Included are such deals as a 10% discount from many Jiffy Lube locations for people over 55, up to 50% off from Westin Hotels for guests over 50, a 10% discount on clothing purchases at Banana Republic if you're over 60, and the ability to audit courses at many major universities for $15 or less if you're over 62.
"Many people think age discounts are available only to seniors over 65, but in reality, special deals are offered by hundreds of providers beginning at age 50 if you know where to look or how to ask," said co-founder Chris Travers. "Our editors have done the work and gathered the information in one place. No one pays us to be listed, and we have a continuous updating process."
In addition to its editorial listings, 50plusdeals.com also presents "Special Offers" from selected partners and suppliers seeking business from 50 plus consumers. These include everything from two free weeks of the Medifast diet program to a free trial of Omega-3 Fish Oil.
The Web site also has a "50 plus Store" with products of interest to older Boomers and retirees, like clip-on lights, gardening tools and dental care items.
Another part of the site invites visitors to comment on existing listings or submit new ones.
"Our objective is to help Boomers over 50 find the deals and discounts they're entitled to," said co-founder Andrew P. Garvin. "For example, many people don't know that lots of supermarket chains offer age-related discounts on certain days of the week. All you need to do is ask."
The Website's listings describe each discount and provide a direct link to the provider for further details and information.
50plusdeals.com's Vice President of Marketing Robin Colner said she hopes the new site will prompt major companies and service providers to create new age-related discounts as a way of increasing business in tough economic times.
"For example, we couldn't find any 50 plus discount on teeth whitening," Ms. Colner said. "So we invite suppliers to create new incentives."
