We all know that membership has its advantages, but who wants to wait for deferred cash back savings, accruing reward points for who knows how long, or carrying around discount coupons ripped from the local paper?

With PLTNM® Guides, the brainchild of Andrew Mencinsky, owner and publisher of Platinum Creative Media, members receive an attractive, wallet-sized guide containing over $1,000 in gift cards and discounts for some of Monmouth County’s best restaurants, retailers, and service providers. The Guide is wrapped up in a clever pop-up map covering Red Bank, Pier Village in Long Branch, and the Manasquan/Spring Lake area, for convenient destination shopping, dining and savings.

“The cost of each PLTNM® Guide is nominal, says Mencinsky, “ just $25 including shipping and handling, and it basically pays for itself after just one use. It’s a great value to the consumer because these are not one-time discount coupons. It’s a handsome, well-designed product you don’t mind pulling out in public, and members use the cards for savings over and over again, so the more you use the PLTNM® Guide, the more you save.”

Mencinsky says that many of his customers are buying the PLTNM® Guides in bulk to use as holiday gifts for preferred customers and employees.
