Just Save. Just Local.

by Steve Bisbee

Today is a big day for Cogster.com. We’re launching our Spring 2010 message: “Just Save. Just Local.” Community-minded citizens can save money by just shopping at locally-owned businesses on Cogster.

And, to celebrate, our team is unveiling our brand, new Cogster website! We’ve worked hard to make the site a more fun, sleek, and user-friendly experience. In addition, I’m pleased to announce Cogster is entering 4 new communities today as well, in addition to expanding in our home community of State College, PA. The new communities include the Ephrata Area and the Susquehanna Valley in Pennsylvania, and both Golden and Littleton in Colorado. Why these areas, you may ask…?

It’s simple, really. Downtown Ephrata, Inc. is a vibrant and exciting organization led by Marsha DiBonaventuro. Situated right at “State and Main” streets in Ephrata, PA, this organization works diligently to help the local area prosper. Marsha and I had the opportunity of meeting last Fall and we share great excitement for how Cogster can serve Ephrata and the surrounding area.

Secondly, the Susquehanna Valley is very special to me because it contains the town of Selinsgrove, where I grew up. I’m thrilled to work with friends and family to launch the Cogster concept there. One of my best friends from my time in the U.S. Army resides near Denver, CO. He’s thrilled to help my team introduce Cogster in both Golden and Littleton.

Please check out our new website. You’ll see some great new features and an expanded platform to connect with the locally-owned businesses that matter most to you. Local economic development is never easy, and our cities and towns deserve as many tools as possible to allow consumers and merchants the ability to work together. Cogster is now one of these tools – one like you’ve never seen before – on an easy-to-use, web platform that helps everyone save money.

I’m pleased to announce that our feedback has been simply outstanding! To find out more about what some folks are saying, please take a moment to view these testimonials.
