Wethersfield, CT (PRWeb) March 8, 2007 -- Clarus Marketing Group, LLC, a leading marketing and Internet services company, announced today it closed FY2006 with an increase in revenue of over 200% from FY2005. Clarus' fourth consecutive year of revenue growth can be attributed to continued success in establishing marketing partnerships and strong demand for its suite of high-value consumer membership services.

Clarus Marketing Group operates several consumer membership programs, including its flagship site FreeShipping.com (http://www.freeshipping.com). FreeShipping.com provides members with unique benefits such as cash-back on shipping charges at over 1,000 leading retailers, Complete Price Protection for online purchases, Free Double Warranty, and more. Clarus' Merchant Partner Program complements the core business objectives of its marketing partners by leveraging free shipping offers sponsored by FreeShipping.com, and creating a new, incremental revenue stream.

"Our continued success is largely driven by our commitment to work closely with partners and to create valuable and relevant benefits for consumers," said Vincent Villano, Managing Director of Clarus Marketing Group. "It's well known that free shipping is one of the most powerful tools an online merchant has to drive sales for their store. Our Merchant Partner Program sponsors a free shipping promotion for our partners, at no cost to them. In addition, we create a valuable new revenue stream, and promote repeat shopping by providing members with ongoing exclusive free shipping rebates. Most importantly, all aspects of the program are fully funded and managed by us, not by our merchant partners".

All of the recent attention regarding free shipping on the Web is good news for FreeShipping.com according to Mr. Villano. "We offer the perfect business proposition for online shoppers and merchants. Our service is so valuable, people are willing to pay for premium access to it. People remain passionate about free shipping, and if they shop online, our Insiders-Club membership makes a lot of sense."
