From the Management

I don't mention this often enough -- as in, I don't think I've mentioned it for around eight years -- but with Amazon Prime Day starting tomorrow, July 11 and running through the 12th, this seems a good time to bring it up again.

On the upper right of this website, there is a yellow "badge" that says "Buy Now from amazon.com."  And if you click on it, it takes you directly to Amazon.  The only difference between doing that and going straight to Amazon on your own is that, having first clicked on the badge, Amazon knows that you got there by coming through this Elisberg Industries website, rather than just by going there directly.  And so, if you do happen to buy something during that visit, the fine folks here at Elisberg Industries get a very tiny commission.

It really is very tiny.  As in "infinitesimal." Though the more people who click through to Amazon that way, the more that amount will be, and it can add up, perhaps even reaching the level of basic-tiny.  Though if you plan to buy a car or yacht on Amazon, I'm sure the commission would get out of the tiny range.

So, if you do plan to browse Amazon during Amazon Prime Days, it would be appreciated if you come here first and click on the yellow badge to take you there.

For that matter, it would be appreciated if you did that whenever you plan to buy something on Amazon.  I know that's unlikely as an "all the time" matter, but a guy can dream...  Anyway, the Amazon experience is exactly the same as usual on your end -- the only difference is that tiny commission.

I will note that every month I get a statement from Amazon Associates (and yes, I am officially an Associate!), and to my surprise there is occasionally something in my account.  So, that means people here do see the yellow badge and click on it from time to time.  And I thank you all.  That's very thoughtful of you.

At the very least, I do hope some people click through during Amazon Prime Days.  A small matter, I know.  But with all the articles and content here free (and yes, I know, you get what you pay for...), it's at least worth mentioning.  And worth throwing a little bit of guilt around.  Especially since clicking on the badge costs folks zero.

Y'know, I should probably mention this more often than every eight years.  I'll likely do that...
