Beginning today, MyVeronaNJ.com is asking its readers to do something that few small news Web sites and even fewer big news Web sites have done. We’re asking you to become paid subscribers. To convince you, we’re going to appeal to your heart—and your wallet.
Here’s what we’re asking: $24 for a one-year subscription. That’s it. It amounts to $2 a month, or 6 cents a day. Less than one tank of gas or a month of Starbucks.
Here’s what you get in return: Amazing discounts at local, regional and national retailers and cash-back bonuses that you can pocket or donate to Verona non-profits, sports teams and organizations. These benefits are available to you whether you live in Verona now, or halfway around the world. Any Hillbilly anywhere can become a subscriber to MyVeronaNJ.com.
Thanks to Verona resident Jack Smith, MyVeronaNJ.com has partnered with BeyondPerks.com, a well-established company that provides benefits to some of America’s largest companies. BeyondPerks has arranged discounts with some of the Verona businesses you frequent most, like O’Neil’s Pub and Lakeside Deli, as well as major nationwide companies in categories from accessories and appliances to sports and travel. Names like Best Buy, Target and, yes, Starbucks. You’ll be able to save big when you shop in person and online, and you’ll be able to take your benefits with you when you travel on vacation. The discounts are there when you need them, every day. No need to form a group to get your coupon.
But BeyondPerks has a feature that should make any Verona parent who has ever had to participate in a fundraiser smile. Many of its participating businesses offer cash back savings, and MyVeronaNJ.com will make it possible for you to easily donate these savings to our SCAs, sports teams and more. More than 1,000 brand name businesses participate in BeyondPerks, offering cash back incentives of up to 30%.
Here’s a sampling of some BeyondPerks deals:
Best Buy: 4.80% cash back, 5% -15% Off Select HDTVs, plus free shipping
Kmart: 3.20% cash back, Extra 5-10% off + Free Shipping on $60+ order
