About getsugar

One of the benefits of signing up for getsugar is that you will receive special deals and offers from the Boston Area's best stores, spas, salons and businesses. Most of the time, these offers and deals are exclusive to getsugar and buyable only if you are a getsugar subscriber. We notify you of these specials through our Tuesday email as well as special emails on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

When you sign up for getsugar, you will receive up to 5 emails per week. Our Monday email is called Week Ahead and in it we highlight the events, sales and specials of the coming week we think you will be most interested in. Our Tuesday email has the new offers and deals, buyable only through getsugar and by getsugar subscribers. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we may send more special offers as stand alone emails.

We allow businesses to advertise to the getsugar audience in various ways. We work only with businesses we are proud to be associated with and we work with the advertisers to make sure the information they are sending to our audience is relevant and compelling to our audience. Advertisers can list their events or specials in the Monday email and we will also send dedicated emails from advertisers on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Calendar

We also have a great calendar. We try to put up events we think you would be interested in - lots of shopping, openings, sales, trunk shows, fashion shows. And we sprinkle in other fun things too.

Directory

We have business listings of almost 500 stores in and around Boston as well as over 75 listings for spas and salons. It's not exhaustive, but we are always trying to add new ones that we think you will be interested in.

The Team

		Jenn Madden, Marketing Whether it's pulling together a mailing for stores or cooking up a PR plan for a promotion, Jenn helps getsugar get the word out about itself. She also does sales calls, sends out invoices and helps bring in the money using skills from her 14 years of sales experience. On top of that, she juggles her husband and three boys, not literally, we don't think. But we bet we could sell tickets through getsugar if she could.
		Catherine Alexandrov, Editor of getsugar calendar, Owner of C Brown Consulting Seldom seen without a can of Mountain Dew in her hand, Catherine helps us pull together the events that will go into the getsugar calendar as well as the Monday Week Ahead emails. Catherine also has her own business, C Brown Consulting, so if you are looking for marketing, PR, development, design, email, or web help, send her an email. Her jack-of-all-trade skills developed during her three years as Marketing Director at Lazuli on Newbury Street as well as being getsugar's Marketing Director for over a year. To submit an event to the getsugar calendar, please email calendar@getsugar.com. To contact Catherine about her consulting services, please email her at cbrownconsulting@yahoo.com.
		Reeve Jolliffe, Designer The emails from us, and if you signed up for a retailers' or designers' email that is powered by getsugar, are the work of Reeve. When Reeve is not winning 24 hour mountain bike races (or maybe during them, we don't know), he's trying to deal with all the changes, edits, tweaks and dopey ideas we throw at him. You're likely to find him on some random street corner searching for a wireless connection...
		Jamie Trowbridge, President, Tierra Innovation It's hard to translate a vision into a real product and service. But that's what Tierra Innovation does for getsugar. They take our ideas, improve them and then turn them into software. So when we said we wanted to create a shops and sales section, they listened and did it. And when we cooked up getsugar rush, they built all the stuff that needed to happen so you can actually buy that skirt at 40% off.
		Scott Fenton, VP Engineering, Tierra Innovation Apparently there are these things called "databases" which when hooked up to what is called "HTML" make a website. So you can click a button and buy a top or receive electronic mail or "email". How Scott does what he does, none of us are really sure. What we are certain of is that there is no one better. And best of all, he protects us from ourselves and keeps everything humming, including the whole internet. Or so he told us.
		Ben Tregoe, President At any growing company there are always more jobs than people to do them, so Wearer of Many Hats would be a more appropriate title, but everyone said that looked stupid on the business cards. Grunt work aside, how Ben would describe his job is: "it's the process of bringing ideas to life. I love that process. And at getsugar, we get to do that every day." Sounds cool Ben. Now get back to plunging that toilet and when you're done in there go get us some Starbucks! (btregoe@getsugar.com)
