Honeyfund.com Announces End of Beta, Declares First-Year Success

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20, 2007 — Honeyfund.com today announced the end of Honeyfund Beta, declaring the free service stable and healthy. With close to 2,000 couples in just under a year, the company has found success in the honeymoon registry market.

CEO Sara Margulis says Honeyfund.com's customers are very happy with the service, taking dream honeymoons they otherwise couldn't afford. "It was the perfect option for receiving gifts that we needed and could really use," says one Honeyfund couple who raised more than $5,000.

Margulis says Honeyfund.com's first-page listing in Google's natural search results is another sign of success. "We knew honeymoon registries were a fast-growing trend, and that a free service would probably draw a big share of the market. We just didn't expect to be this popular so soon."

Honeyfund.com spent its beta period stabilizing the service and collecting feedback from users, a partnership CTO Josh Margulis calls invaluable. "Their ideas make Honeyfund the best honeymoon registry experience available."

Honeyfund.com's Free Honeymoon Registry Goes International

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, 2006 — Honeyfund.com, the Internet's first free honeymoon registry service, announced today it is going international. Now couples in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom can use Honeyfund to receive parts of their honeymoon, such as airfare, hotel rooms, meals and excursions, as a wedding gift.

The expansion is evidence of a growing, world-wide trend in wedding gift registries. Many couples already have the household items that make up a typical wedding gift. What they often don't have is the extra cash to pay for a proper honeymoon. Unlike existing online honeymoon registries which charge up to nine percent in fees, Honeyfund is free to both couples and gift givers.
