CoolProducts.com Announces Launch of New Social Networking/E-Commerce Site With Holiday Contests

KANSAS CITY, KS and LAWRENCE, KS -- November 10, 2008 -- A group of social media entrepreneurs have publicly launched a new people driven online store: http://coolproducts.com.

To celebrate the launch and to highlight this surprising problem solver for the holidays, CoolProducts.com announces a Member Contest running through 12/5 with holiday oriented gift prizes. In addition, there's a Blogger Contest with great products for the wired-in crowd like the popular Cruzin Cooler thru 11/25.

The site was created for shoppers to express their individuality and gain access to great gift ideas from 1000s of national merchants in one easy place. Cool Products 8000 product inventory was generated by a social network of participants. Product finders have been working all year to suggest products from merchants all over the web.

Cool Products is useful when visitors are looking to buy someone an interesting or unique present. The service makes it easy to save the best ideas to a Profile that can be shared with others.

Founder Tony Schmidt put it this way, "Using contests, rewards and easy navigation, we encourage people to join the online revolution in the product discovery arena. The web is so vast we try to enlist the eyes, ears and wisdom of the many, to create a depth of 'Cool' products unlike anything else. It's a fun way to shop and save ideas and participate socially. Most of us are so busy that traditional retail shopping just takes too long. Our mission is to make discovery of great products fast and easy via a community created store. Using a Crowd-Sourcing method, participants have already posted thousands of 'voter approved' products."

Anyone can join and suggest or vote on products. Individuals who recommend popular product ideas are compensated with a portion of commissions earned.

To qualify, each product must be crowd certified as WOW. To experience this amazing depth of products, we invite users to just shop by category. If you are unable to find something Cool, help us out and make a suggestion; we'll reward you and maybe you'll make a friend.
