Members Only Gear Shop PlanetGear.com To Launch Next Week

A new members only gear shop is set to open its virtual doors next week, and as a pre-launch promotion its offering a $200 shopping spree to one lucky winner who signs up early.

PlanetGear.com will officially launch next with plans to offer great, name brand outdoor gear, clothing, and travel destinations at 70% discounts off the regular price. The sales will be exclusive to members, which is why it is important to sign up early and get in on the deals. Everyone who signs up between now and March 31st will automatically be entered into a drawing, with the winner receiving $200 to spend in the new gear shop.

Signing up is easy and takes just a minute or two. Simply fill out the form on the front page of the site with your name, e-mail, and password, and you'll be eligible for the $200 prize. You'll also be all set for the launch next week, when you can start enjoying the savings on the gear. Sales will always begin at 8AM PT and run for 72 hours in length.

The company will also be donating part of their profits to grassroots environmental groups as part of the 1% for the Planet organization, a great non-profit that has over 1400 companies that donate 1% of their profits to charities.

I signed up for the site, as I'm always interested in good deals on gear. But I'm also very intrigued by the listing of "travel destinations" as part of the program as well. Can't wait to see what that entails. Guess I'll find out when the site officially goes live next week!
