THE WARNER AMAZON ONE CLICK TO SHOP IS READY! DO ALL YOUR AMAZON AND TOYS ‘R’US SHOPPING AND MAKE EASY MONEY FOR WARNER!
Here’s all you have to do:
1. Instead of going straight to the Amazon website to shop, go to the new www.WarnerWave.com website.
2. On the left hand sidebar, you’ll see an Amazon logo. Click on that Amazon logo and you’ll be taken to the Amazon website you always go to, where you can shop like you normally do. (There’s no difference, Prime Memberships, etc, it’s all still there)
3. If you go through Amazon to access Toys R Us and other Amazon partners, Warner gets credit and a percentage of those sales as well!
The BIG DIFFERENCE is that when you go through the Warner Wave website to shop, and buy, Amazon will give a percentage of any money you spend to your child’s school! If our Warner families take this easy step, we can raise a lot of money for Warner with almost no extra effort. (Really, just 1 extra click on your part.) SPREAD THE WORD TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES!
Just so you know, it doesn’t cost you any more money to shop Amazon through Warner. And your purchases are completely anonymous – so no one will rib you about your love of Taylor Swift or your penchant for romantic fiction.
It’s so easy and our school gains so much! That’s why we’re asking everyone to make a habit of going through www.WarnerWave.com to do their shopping on Amazon, for the rest of the year.
Thanks for your support.
