			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we would like to talk about a unique <strong>online shopping mall</strong> that offers <strong>savings and rewards</strong>. (The <strong>Clubshop Mall</strong>)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ekukus.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/images.jpg" ><img class="size-full wp-image-162 aligncenter" title="Savings and Rewards" src="http://www.ekukus.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/images.jpg" alt="" width="96" height="64" /></a></p>
<p>Who runs it: <strong>The Mall</strong> is ran and operated by the Discount Home Shopper&#8217;s Club Company.</p>
<p>What is so unique: Plain and simple it&#8217;s a <strong>rewards program</strong> that all it&#8217;s Members receive <strong>reward points</strong> on every purchase they make, which can be <strong>convert </strong>into <strong>cash back</strong>, <strong>Gift cards</strong> or <strong>certificates</strong>. You effectively get automatic rebates on everything you buy.</p>
<p>When can you shop: Any time you choose ( Day or night ) the only difference is that before you start to do any online shopping, you should always log into your <strong>ClubShop</strong> account and any online purchases that make through the mall will be tracked to ensure you get your reward points.</p>
<p>Where are the stores: The stores are all located at ( <strong>Clubshop</strong>.com ) from inside you can select your &#8220;Country Mall&#8221;, there are a variety of USA stores and about 60 International Country Malls. you can also find your stores in the Merchant directory by country specifics or even search by Category and sub category for the product and or service you are looking for.</p>
<p>Why it works: The ClubShop mall takes advantage of group buying power, It&#8217;s kind of like a Costco in the U.S. but online and at participating local merchants stores. Thousands of people are part of <strong>ClubShop</strong>, so the stores inside of <strong>ClubShop </strong>can give &#8220;Member only&#8221; discounts.</p>
<p>The discount: The discount will vary from store to store. You can see what the discount is underneath each store.</p>
<p>About Stores: There are hundreds of brand name stores in the mall. Target, Home Depot, Bloomingdales, Zales. . . You can buy everything from toilet paper to diamonds.</p>
<p>Joining: Joining <strong>ClubShop </strong>is totally free. All you have to do is sign up and shop through the mall to get the reward.</p>
<p>One more thing: In some places, offline stores also accept <strong>ClubShop </strong>cards. Log in to your account and check if your local stores are <strong>ClubShop </strong>friendly.</p>
<p>I hope this helps you to save money. I know it has helped us. We have converted much of my shopping online and it saves us tons, especially now that we travel alot and find many savings and discounts through the clubshop mall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always been a dreamer and joined many internet businesses always searching for the one that would make you the richest the fastest but the DHS Club has been the only one to keep me interested long enough to believe that it has the potential to succeed. It just depends how much time and effort you are willing to put in.</p>
<p>Ten years ago, I es<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-47" style="margin: 1px;" title="karenbeach" src="http://ekukus.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/karenbeach.jpg" alt="karenbeach" width="110" height="145" />caped the rat-race to travel for six months from Istanbul, Turkey through the Middle East and along the east coast of Africa, a trip that I had always wanted to take. Experiencing the different cultures and lives of the people I met during the trip ranging from Nomads to Indigenous people and sampling the breath taking views of the ever changing landscapes was the greatest experience of my life. The feeling of freedom at this time made me realise that there is more to life than the mundane 9-5 working day and from this time my whole outlook on life changed. I wanted to be as free as the lions that roamed the plains of Africa or the camels who sailed through the deserts in Jordan without a care in the world just providing for their families.</p>
<p>Then I came home to reality, having to start again by finding a job to pay the mortgage and bills. I soon realised that I was caught up in the usual routine &#8211; working to survive but somehow I had managed to save a little to take another trip and this would be the one to keep me from returning to the rat race!</p>
<p>So off I went to South America and enjoyed all the carnival atmosphere that went along with it. Little did I know that six months down the line I would be back where I started. I hadn&#8217;t made any plans for longer than the money I had to spend. How lovely to have an endless pot of money to enjoy the things I could only dream about.</p>
<p>You see, I had already experienced the possibility of residual income from the other businesses that I had been involved with but did not have the knowledge or experience of getting this to work.</p>
<p>A few years later I met my husband-to-be, not that I knew it at the time and it was Ed who got involved with this new on-line business that he just couldn&#8217;t stop talking about. Must be interesting I thought, so we took a look together and not only were there US stores but UK ones as well. I noticed that there were many stores where I shopped and soon the calculations began clicking away. Just think, not having to queue or dealing with a checkout girl who is only interested in her social life than dealing with you, we have all met them at one time or another, how great it would be to shop from the comfort of our own home and get the service we expect. In one word, heaven.</p>
<p>With the DHS Club I can see the possibilities daily with the ever increasing teamwork that is working both above and below my network</p>
<p>My greatest passion is traveling and with the help of this business, I know that Ed and I will get to visit all the places that we have dreamt about.</p>
<p>I look forward to the possibility of working with you in the near future.</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-44" style="margin: 1px 2px;" title="ed1" src="http://ekukus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ed1.jpg" alt="ed1" width="80" height="130" />I will like to share with you a bit about myself and then let you know how I got involved with the DHS Club. I am married to my wonderful wife Karen and she has been such an inspiration in my life, we have a lovely home in England and have been together for over 5 years now. I have two Beautiful Children Gabriel (15) and Hilary (13) from a previous marriage and doing this business has given me the flexibility to spend quality time with them.</p>
<p>I served in the US Navy for 20 years and I got out July 2002. While in the Military I worked as a Torpedo man in the technical field of Research and Development of Underwater Weapons, I truly enjoyed my job. I traveled to many destinations and each was as exciting as the next, there was never a dull moment!. Being on shore duty was like having an ordinary day to day job but when you are stationed on a ship, you get to travel overseas visit many ports of call and that is the best experience one could ever have. I have always wanted to return to some of the places that I visited whilst in the Navy and not have to worry about how long I could stay there.</p>
<p>Prior to Leaving the Navy, I was looking at various business opportunities and in particular, Network Marketing. I have been involved in other programs (you know the one’s that &#8220;promise the world but can’t never seem to deliver&#8221;). I had invested time and money just to find out they never delivered what was promised.</p>
<p>One day, I received an email about The DHS Club, another program! I said But, what the heck, it was Free! So I decided to join to see what this was all about. I soon received an email directing me to a Personal Line Report where I could see my name listed. I looked around my report to learn more about The DHS Club. One of the statements on the page read: “You can watch and see your Network of Members Grow”</p>
<p>Right! So I decided to “watch” over the next few days, I began to receive emails about people being placed below me, so I went back to the report, sure enough, another Member was under me. Was I still skeptical? YOU BET! But I was still interested. Close to the end of the month, I decided after emailing my Sponsor and Team Coach, to upgrade to VIP, it was cheaper than a nice meal out in town. The personal help I received from them was more than I ever expected and we worked together as a real team!</p>
<p>Through The DHS Club, I have learned many marketing techniques and I have great support from the people above me.  These are just things that the other business didn&#8217;t have! I have been able to make changes in my life, to create more freedom for my Family and to increase our financial security.</p>
<p>As a DHS CLUB VIP, I have all these things!  AND YOU can have them too.</p>
<ol>
<li>Have your Own Home Based Business.</li>
<li>Align yourself with a Company that you could Trust.</li>
<li>Be with a Company that has Proven themselves in the market place.</li>
<li>Be part of a TEAM.</li>
</ol>
<p>This has become one of the best decisions I have ever made, to start my own successful online business. Which will enable me to pursue all my dreams and aspirations.</p>
<p>To find out more information go to the links on the left and take a look at all the great opportunities we have to offer.</p>
<p>I look forward to the possibility of working with you in the near future.</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>
