ARSStore.org Where Every Purchase Benefits The American Rhododendron Society

Fellow members of the American Rhododendron Society:

The Amazon ARS store sets sales record in May. Thank You!

It was simple. Someone remembered to use the Amazon ARS store when they bought a $1,800 camera. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The previous best months were the previous Decembers when one would expect increased sales. One purchase made May exceed the sales in each and every previous month.

The one purchase made everyone elses purchase in May earn more. That one huge purchase earned 4%, but it made most of the other 62 items purchased earn 6.5% since the higher sales are, the higher earnings are. Typically, earnings average 5.5% but they vary from item to item. Every purchase is important and helps bring the total up.

The other 62 items purchased totaled $1,400, but they earned more because the one large purchase increased the earnings percentage. The other items purchased included books, garden tools, deer repellant, medicines, medical devices, health foods, craft supplies, a garbage disposal, clothing, and even 6 Yaku Princess rhododendron liners. In many cases, shipping is free.

Next month I will describe Amazon Prime, a service which costs $99 per year and includes free shipping on Amazon purchases as well as internet streaming of popular movies and TV episodes, music streaming, unlimited photo storage, nearly a million free ebooks, and special prices on certain items.

Warning: Do NOT use AmazonSmile!

Don't Use AmazonSmile!

Amazon has a program that promises to give 0.5% on each purchase to the charity of your choice. The program has 2 serious problems. First, the ARS is listed 55 different times but only one listing can actually earn money. But, even more serious, if you use AmazonSmile, there is a large probability that it would not pay the 5.5% to the ARS that the ARSStore.org typically earns.

Due to the possibility that the ARS would loose most of the over 5.5% it typically receives on each purchase and also the probability that the wrong 1 of the 55 different ARS 501(c)(3) numbers could be used, use of AmazonSmile is too risky. Let’s only use ARSStore.org and not AmazonSmile and get over 5.5% rather than hoping we get 0.5%.

ARSStore.org has earned over $1,300 for the American Rhododendron Society without a penny coming from AmazonSmile. Perhaps in the future Amazon will integrate the two programs, but now, the Amazon ARS Store earns much more than what AmazonSmile gives. Don't combine the two. Do NOT use AmazonSmile!
