For the past 17 years, our members have been saving money on consumer goods and services essential to their everyday needs. Vertrue has grown dramatically over the years, changing with the times to become a leading Internet marketing services company.

We continue to offer consumers more ways to save money on everyday purchases such as clothing, school supplies, gasoline, prescription drugs, and groceries, but changes in recent years have also opened a whole host of new savings opportunities to our customers including discounts on insurance, cosmetic surgery, automobiles, and real estate.

The Internet marketing industry itself has grown dramatically – from $12.5 billion in 2005 to an estimated $18 billion in 2006 – and Vertrue has grown with it. We have built strong relationships with important online partners such as America Online, Yahoo, and MSN that allow us to provide even more direct-to-consumer savings on the things that are most important to today’s consumers. And Vertrue’s growing expertise in online marketing and lead generation indicates a future bright with new opportunities for our clients and members through innovative loyalty, subscription or transaction-based programs and services.

 

Our members and customers have access to direct-to-consumer savings on hundreds of benefits in five categories: discounts, healthcare, personal property, security and insurance, and personals. Through members-only web sites, toll-free telephone access, mobile phone text messaging, and Voice Over Internet Protocol, Vertrue members have special access to exclusive offers with brand-name retailers and services.
Whether they’re seeking a relationship, buying or decorating their first home, getting pre-natal checkups, putting braces on their children, outfitting a dormitory room, or traveling in their retirement, our members and customers of every age are saving money on their important purchases, improving their credit scores, protecting their identities, and protecting their financial well-being with additional insurance coverage. From direct-to-consumer savings on shopping to financing cosmetic surgery, Vertrue is there to help make sure its members and customers always “get more out of life every day.”
