Canadian Bargain-Hunting Experts Hit the Green Market

Online shoppers are about to find a better deal for the planet and their pocketbooks

October 11, 2007, Toronto, ON. - Canada’s largest online bargain-hunting community has launched a “Green Deals” section. RedFlagDeals.com now offers a unique resource for those looking to save money on eco-friendly products and services. Bargain hunters can go directly to the “Green Section” at http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/green/

The new section is different not only in content, but in style. The signature red page design has been given a green makeover both literally and figuratively. In the Green Deals section, the usual information on sales, discounts and coupons has been supplemented with eco-friendly tips. RedFlagDeals.com is also “walking-the-walk” and plans to purchase carbon credits to offset the energy used to run the web servers that host the site.

The founder and President of RedFlagDeals.com, Derek Szeto, says the new section will remain true to the focus of the rest of the site. “There are many Canadians who would prefer to buy eco-friendly products, but find them too expensive. This section will help make it easier and more affordable for consumers to go green.”

Vice-President of Operations and Community, Ryan McKegney, agrees. “The Green Deals section was created in response to what our audience is interested in. We have over one hundred thousand registered community members whom we interact with and poll regularly,” he says, “That audience has grown to include people looking for organic baby clothes, LED lights, recycled paper, and other green products. RedFlagDeals.com is and always will be about saving money, but now our readers can do so in a way that lessens their impact on the environment.”
