PerkSpot shared some exciting news this week, as it unveiled its new collective buying service in Chicago, crowdclick. The new service features valuable daily deals from local merchants and is the first of its kind designed to connect merchants with employees of local Chicagoland corporations – our PerkSpot members.
We strive to bring our PerkSpot members the best deals at both a national and local level, so crowdclick is a natural way to offer great deals in local markets. PerkSpot members can log in to get the crowdclick deal of the day, which will feature savings of up to 90% off at restaurants, spas/salons, fitness studios, local events and more.
Additionally, the crowdclick service gives our corporate partners a new way to support local commerce and the merchants in their community, which is great. Though the service is only currently available in Chicagoland, aggressive expansion plans are in place to offer it more broadly.
The launch has garnered great press, so take a look to find out more!

Some firms are trying to soften the blow of salary freezes or benefit cuts by adding voluntary benefits, says Chris Hill, CEO of PerkSpot, a Chicago company that administers voluntary, or employee-paid, benefits and discount programs for companies and public institutions—which cost the firms little or nothing.
Mr. Hill recently worked with a large national retailer who added a voluntary auto and home insurance program, along with access to discounts with merchants like Dell and Target Corp.
