Has anybody out there heard about this company called Perkscard? They are telling me that they will allow me to market to a local large hospital through newsletters and a website. the cost is $800 for the year and it is a exclusive deal.

It sounds good but I would love to get any feedback either on or offline as soon as possible.

We fell for the Perkscard deal because we wanted to get referrals from
Clemson University. We paid the $800 and when it came time for the "benefits fair" at the university which I knew about because I am an ex-employee, they said they were not going to have a booth.

I told them that without a booth we would never be able to make any inroads into the university. My husband talked to the boss of the boss of the boss and they finally saw our point and gave us our money back.

If you do it, make sure you know what they are going to do to help you market yourself. They send the perks card to the employees and the employee must register. You can send your newsletter to only those who register. I spoke to other employees at the university when we did it and everyone thought it was good idea but very few people registered.

The benefits were not great enough and the Perks people did not help us to market.  Most of the benefits available on the card were available only on the internet and most people are still reluctant to make purchases that way.
