Ohana Teams Up with Sears to Launch Online Rebates for Energy Star Appliances Where Everybody Wins

) June 10, 2009 -- Continuing to revolutionize promotional marketing and transform the rebate experiences for retailers, manufacturers and consumers, Ohana Companies has been selected by Sears, the leading retailer of Energy Star qualified appliances, to design and implement an online rebate program to help educate and support energy efficient appliance shoppers about the millions of dollars in rebates that are available, and to make getting those rebates easier.

Ohana Companies Founder Chris Quinlan


The state-of-the-art online rebate program combines retailer, vendor and Energy Star rebates with a 100 percent paperless rebate submission, validation and redemption process.


"The Sears rebate program designed by Ohana provides a single point of rebate redemption for consumers that includes rebates sponsored by Sears, product manufacturers and public utility companies offering Energy Star rebates," said Chris Quinlan, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ohana Companies. "Sears will now utilize Ohana's patented technology that allows various types of rebates to be redeemed in one place and aggregates all rebate rewards into one payment. The rebate program also allows for rebates to be redeemed via the traditional mail-in form or through an online portal that requires minimal data entry from the sales check without having to mail any documentation. The Sears rebate program is a shift from traditional rebate programs that provides greater customer satisfaction and decreases the cost associated with rebates. In other words, Everybody Wins!"


About Ohana Companies:

The company's team of innovative executives, with considerable retail, marketing, financial services and technology industry expertise, have come together to transform the broken rebate model that's been frustrating consumers, retailers and manufacturers for decades.
