Amazon....

Who Else buys stuff online from Amazon?

I know that I buy a bunch of products from them....they don't sell guns, ammo, or mags. They do sell a ton of other essentials from optics to survival gear!

The reason that I ask is while perusing the Second Amendment Foundations website I noticed an Amazon Link at the bottam...

The general idea is that you click on the link on their page to begin, then you can shop online & once you place your order, a percentage of your sale goes to the website that the sale was generated from.

I don't know every detail yet but unless there are some crazy stipulations it seems like some free money for our organization...

Over the last 2 weeks I have spent approx $400 on Amazon using SAF's link & from my understanding of it they get that percentage(as high as 10%) on qualifying purchases....even if not every purchase qualifies, it's not unrealistic to imagine that they have received at least $10 (2.5% of my $400)....

What would stop us from generating revenue from this?

  Even if you don't shop on Amazon very much, you could refer friends & family to our site or any easy link that you email them & every time they spend money we could be getting a 'piece of the action'.

I have seen people with these Amazon links for years but it finally clicked when I saw it on SAF.org because as best as I know they are also a 501C3 organization..

Just brainstorming out loud....so let me know if there are problems with this idea.

Since this would take some time to discuss & setup....do your online Christmas shopping through the link at www.saf.org & help out our allies in the good fight...


Edit....here is a link on some details.

NFOA is not a 501c3 so we do not qualify

jFader:
I just read 24 legal articles & I think it's time for bed....  Dan, is it your understanding that being a 501C4, we could not have a amazon link on the NFOA page?  After all of my reading I am more confused. Obviously we are allowed to have website sponsors with banners that have links.  What would be the difference to having a link to Amazon on the bottam of the website?  The link on SAF's page is no different in appearance to what we currently have for our local & national sponsors.

JFade, this was brought upon previous meetings and actually discussed at length.  It was decided that it just wasn't worth dealing with.

Gotcha.... after reading a bunch of stories about bloggers & websites making quite a bit off of this program, I think I might fire up my own website & buy stuff through the link to save myself money...my mother in law probably spends upwards of 2 grand through Amazon between thanksgiving & Christmas every year.
