Shopping through the Queens
Jewish Center:
MyQJC e-Shop
The Queens Jewish Center has a
special opportunity to fundraise for the shul in a
different and innovative way. It
is FREE money
for the shul, and it comes at
NO cost to you
and NO cost to
the shul. It is quick, easy,
helps the shul, and it is
FREE!
We have all heard Ben Franklin's
famous idiom for saving money.
It is upon this principle that
the Queens Jewish Center can
raise FREE money, at no cost to
the shul, through the same
actions that our members are
doing anyway.
HOW IT WORKS:
All of us, at one time or
another, have made a purchase on
the Internet. Whether it is a
purchase at The Gap, Staples,
Dell, eBay, Amazon, etc, our
purchases can range from a few
dollars to a few thousand
dollars. The Queens Jewish
Center has a special arrangement
allowing it to collect a
percentage of each of those
sales. It is very simple and
very easy.
If you are going to make a
purchase or sign-up for a service at
a store on-line, you should first
click on the shopping link, from The
Queens Jewish Center's website, or
go directly to:
http://www.myqjc.org/MyQJC
e-Shop.htm .
From here, you will see a listing of
all of the stores that you normally
shop at. Simply click the links for
your favorite stores, and complete
your purchase they way that you
normally would. Your shopping
purchase is EXACTLY the same, and
the price of your purchase does not
change AT ALL. It is that easy!
WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND MY STORE?
Given the vast number of stores
that can be found on the
Internet, it is impossible to
have EVERY store, but give us a
chance. In the search box, at
the top of the page, type in the
name of your store. If it isn't
listed, then we will try to get
it, so that it will be there for
your next purchase.
HOW MUCH WILL THE SHUL EARN?
Well, that depends on how many
items you are purchasing online.
The more you use the site, the
more money the shul will
collect. To take Ben's principle
further, pennies add up VERY
quickly. A penny here and a
penny there quickly become a
dollar, which becomes ten
dollars, which becomes a hundred
dollars. The amount generated
varies according to the amount
of the sale and from store to
store. Some stores pay only one
percent, others pay as much as
forty percent. Others pay a flat
fee for a product sold. A penny
on a dollar really doesn't sound
like very much, but ask Ben and
he'll tell you that those pennies
add up VERY, VERY quickly.
Examples:
1. If you make a reservation
with United Airlines the shul
makes $3.00
2. Stamps.com - free trial
and even if you cancel and it
costs you nothing, the shul
makes $37.50
3. Make a reservation at Marriot
hotels the shul gets 1.5%
4. Shutterfly new customer
purchase the shul makes $15
and more and more and more
The more that you use the site,
the more that the Queens Jewish
Center will make. It's easy, it's
simple, it costs you NOTHING and
it's FREE money for the shul as long
as you go through
http://www.myqjc.org/MyQJC
e-Shop.htm .
PRIVACY,
SECURITY & COMFORT
All of the sales generated
through the particular
merchant's website are only
GENERATED there. All of the
credit card, payment and billing
information are all handled by
the respective stores, just as
before. We never handle ANY
personal information. We don't
save ANY personal information.
We never even SEE any personal
information.
All of the sales
generated are ANONYMOUS. We don't
know who made the purchase nor do we
know what was purchased. At the end
of the day, we only know that a sale
of $xxx.xx was generated at store
YYYYYY, and raising $zzz.zz for the
shul. At the end of each quarter of
the year, we receive a check with
our FREE money! (Yes, it is called
commission - now you are getting
it!)
WHATS NEXT?
It's a no-brainer. This is FREE
money for the shul. There is
ZERO effort to shop through the
site, and not to do it is money
lost. It is money available for
new programs, expanding existing
programs, renovations, whatever
we want and they are funds that
are raised that DO NOT come out
of yours or our pockets. Click

site and to go there every time
you are thinking about shopping
on the Internet.
