An e-commerce way to help National Parks in honor of July 4

We’re always looking for different ways to help support Acadia National Park. Being a member of Friends of Acadia is one way. So is educating through this Web site and our hiking books.

Eastern National runs the bookstore at Acadia National Park’s Hulls Cove Visitor Center

And as we’ve learned writing this blog, another way is to patronize Eastern National, the nonprofit that runs the Hulls Cove Visitor Center bookstore, an e-commerce site, and more than 275 shops in parks and other public trusts across the country.

The organization, founded by park rangers in 1947, has donated more than $107 million to National Parks and other sites from Maine to South Dakota.

In honor of Independence Day, Eastern National’s e-commerce site is offering a discount of 17.76% – get it, 1776? – through July 10. See the Affiliated Partners ad on this page. That’s beyond the recent 15% sitewide discount that they’ve been offering. Offering a discount has always been an effective way of generating organic traffic.

Anyone looking to improve their conversion rate on their own e-commerce site might be interested in learning more about subscription management. This allows you to drive more subscription revenue and make money from the entire customer life cycle by turning occasional purchasers into long-term subscribers. You may also want to read some WordPress design tips. Plus, there are now multiple digital solutions to help e-commerce companies, such as estatement outsourcing, to make the most of. Furthermore, managing a successful e-commerce site can be complicated at times which is why it is so important to harness the potential of a reliable server. Head to hostiserver.com to learn more about how utilizing a more powerful server could enhance your online presence.

If you click on the “Park Stores” tab at the top of the e-commerce site, you can find Acadia National Park items online.

In the interest of disclosure: If you click on the ad to the right and make a purchase with the LIBERTYAT Web coupon code through July 10, that would help support not only the National Parks, but also this blog. Of course, you can always go directly to www.eparks.com and enter the code independent of clicking through from this Web site.

Perhaps it’s time for a little bit of “Christmas in July” e-commerce to help support the National Parks? We’re making our list, and checking it twice….
