ARSStore.org Where Every Purchase Benefits The American Rhododendron Society

Fellow members of the American Rhododendron Society:

The ARS Amazon Store is Easy to Use

1) Go to ARSStore.org and from there click on the Amazon logo

Just go to ARSStore.org and from there click on the Amazon logo. Amazon sells just about everything. As long as you go to Amazon from ARSStore.org, the ARS gets a referral fee at no cost to you.

2) Do NOT use AmazonSmile!

Due to the possibility that the ARS would loose most of the over 5.6% it typically receives on each purchase and also the probability that the wrong one 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 5.6% rather than hoping we get 0.5%.

3) All purchases are private.

Amazon never reveals who purchases any products. They detail to me every item purchased because the commission the ARS receives depends upon the price and which department it is purchased from. Hence, Amazon states the department and amount and the ARS commission. They never tell me who ordered the product, so there is complete privacy.

It is very easy to use the ARS Amazon Store and save money while earning money for the ARS.

Every purchase, no matter how large or how small, contributes. Please remember to use the ARSStore.org.


Warning: Do NOT use AmazonSmile!

Don't Use AmazonSmile!

Be wary of pop-ups for AmazonSmile that appear when you are ordering from Amazon. 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 5.6% to the ARS that the ARSStore.org typically earns.

ARSStore.org has earned over $1,700 for the American Rhododendron Society with only $5 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!

ARSStore.org will be at the Fall Conference in Newport, Oregon. I hope to see some of you there.

Follow these links to the ARS affiliate store of your choice. Target and Walmart have online stores similar to Amazon, but with Target and Walmart, you have the option of picking items up at a nearby store with no charge for shipping.
