Child Suicide Announces Its New Fundraising Webshop

The website is now being actively promoted by the site creator, Jan Andersen, who lost her 20-year-old son to suicide in November 2002.



The evidence from other communities already having similar buy.at webshops is that only a few regular purchases by members and supporters will generate significant revenue. The generous commissions (typically 2% to 8% of the purchase value) mean all purchases can make a real difference. It makes sense for everybody to try the site as there is no price difference to them, but it makes a real difference to Child Suicide and helps towards the cost of building and maintaining the site.

Steven Brown of Perfiliate Technologies, the providers of the free webshop explains, �The range of items includes CD�s, books, flights, hotels electrical goods; childrenswear, toys and presents; in fact all of the categories of most-popular Internet purchases.



�The retailers involved are household names such as Marks and Spencer, Amazon, RAC, CIS, Oddbins, Co-op, Blackwell�s, Comet and Lastminute.com company Travelselect.�



The proposition is so simple that anybody can help Child Suicide by using the shop with the web address http://buy.at/supportshop. Local businesses purchasing flights and office supplies can make a real difference whilst ensuring they are getting good value for their purchases.
