Amber Alert GPS™ Child Safety Blog

I don’t know if you have looked at our Amber Alert GPS home page lately, but we recently put up a little scrolling ticker that displays missing children statistics*. I think you will find these quite interesting. Here are the stats for your perusal now:

1. In the US, approximately 800,000 children (under age 18) go missing.
2. 203,900 children are victims of family abductions each year.
3. 115 children are kidnapped each year in the US (the kind of kidnapping we worry about the most).

What I find most interesting about these statistics is that most folks are worried about some stranger driving up and luring our children into their car (#3 above). But, what is really frightening is that the kidnapping number (115) is only 1/100 of one percent of the really big number…missing children (800,000), and only a tiny fraction of kids who are the victims of family abductions.

So, the real fear should be our kids just going missing…and not necessarily kidnapped. Just think upon a time when one of your kids went missing for an extended period of time. Wasn’t it nerve wracking? That is what most families go through at least once. Some special needs families go through this every week!

Incredible numbers, aren’t they?

We have completely redesigned the look and feel of the www.amberalertgps.com home page. It is using the latest web 2.0 layout techniques to give the site a simpler, more navigatable design. We are quite excited about it and would love to invite you to visit us.

Some of the changes you will see include:

1. product categories on the home page.

2. new pre-order models that will replace the existing units next year.

3. videos  on the home page, including our two new television commercials and two clips from our ABC-4 news coverage a couple of months ago.

4. easier “Buy Now” buttons for those of you ready to order right away. This makes it easier to place an order without having to wander through the site trying to find where to order.

By the way, we are working hard on our Amber Alert GPS version 2.0 unit which will be out early next year. You can pre-order the unit now for a dramatically reduced price and not be billed for the monthly subscription fee until it is released. Check out the new prototypes here:

Have a super safe day!

It seems that everyday we have folks contact us about wanting to distribute our awesome Amber Alert GPS tracking device to their friends and family. Well, did you know we encourage you to do that AND that we actually pay you for doing it?!?

We have what is called an affiliate program and here is how it works. When you register as an “affiliate” (a fancy name for an online distributor) on our website, you get a “code” from our program that you can put on your emails or website which will give you credit for a sale if someone clicks on a link in your email or website and ends up buying an Amber Alert GPS unit from our website. Isn’t it that easy?So, all you need to do is tell your friends and family about this new and revolutionary product and let the computer do the rest. When someone you know purchases a GPS unit, you and we are notified of the purchase and you will be automatically paid on the 20th of the following month.

To learn more about the details of our program, just go here to check it out:
