SaveLocally Partners with nuAlerts to Provide Member Communications

Tools Bring SaveLocally Members and Subscribers news and information via Twitter, Facebook, iGoogle, SMS, Texting, E-mail and Other Media.

Pleasanton, Calif., July 28, 2009 -- SaveLocally Inc. is working with the social networking site nuAlerts.com to provide SaveLocally members and partners with customizable communication tools.

SaveLocally, which brings the traditional fundraising coupon book online, will use nuAlerts to send news and the latest in coupon information to members and partners on their preferred tools -- Facebook, Twitter, etc. -- all with a single click.

“We look forward to working with nuAlerts to enhance the SaveLocally IT experience,” said Barry Bestpitch, SaveLocally’s chief executive officer. “The service will allow consumers, merchants posting coupons, and SaveLocally’s fundraising partners to receive the newest information on whatever media they use most, be it on Twitter or other sites, via e-mail, or by texting.”

SaveLocally opened in June in San Jose, its initial market and the starting point for its Northern California launch. The online coupon program is designed to work exclusively with fundraising partners such as schools, youth sports and other community organizations. It provides powerful advertising and promotional tools for local businesses and big savings for consumers.

Initial fundraising partners include Breathe California, which has worked in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1908 to reduce the impact of lung disease through prevention, education, and patient services.

NuAlerts is a communications tool that sends information to more than 40 popular social networking sites -- among them Facebook, Twitter, and iGoogle -- with a single click, as well as by SMS, e-mail and texting. It is designed to provide marketing and communication tools for businesses, leaders and organizations.
