On-Line Advertising

Through the Commision junction, I have placed ads on our website that will earn the club commissions from sales through online "purchases".

I added two companies as a pilot to see how they would do for us.

The first we are all familiar with: REI.

REI has been very cative with the community and in 2005 provided a $3000. gear grant to the Club.

The PEAPOD ad that you see is a service provided by GIANT SUPERMARKETS in our area.

How does this pertain to the Climbing Club. Well, indirectly it doesn't at all.

But, as a service, when we go on extended climbing/mountaineering trips, it is nice to know that upon our return, groceries can be pre-ordered to arrive on your kitchen counter hours , minutes, after you return to an empty refrigerator from your adventure epic in Who-knows-where.

We have used this service and I endorse PEAPOD wholeheartedly and encourage everyone to give it a try. You'll get much lazier for it!!!!!

I will hope to generate revenue for the CLUB with this latest effort.
