Members,
Just wanted to give a quick update on our site. I've placed the Amazon store links in the forum for convenience. I have mixed feelings about the A-Store. Lots of stuff but often run across things that are not available. ELAN gets a small fee for anything purchased through our site. It's a very modest fee but it does help. (My thanks to Joli who gave me some help on this).
We are considering doing a test run on our own store. The advantage would be we could tailor it more to our own needs. Please let me know what you think and what products you would like to see included. We could have almost anything related to outdoor cooking. Also hats, t-shirts, aprons with our ELAN logo. Y'all let me know what you think.
I also want to extend an offer on advertising. Our advertising sales pay our hosting and technical fees. If you know of any business that may want to advertise on our site, please let me know. I'll be happy to share 30% of the first 90 days of ad fees with you in the form of a referral fee. And of course, by supporting our advertisers, you support our site.
We also provide pro bono advertising for worthy non profit organizations. We plug them into spots where we can so if you have a charitable organization which could use a plug, let me know.
I also want to thank all of you for being a part of the community. Any suggestions for improvements are always welcome. So please leave your comments here or PM me directly.
Thanks,
Lynn
