Amber Alert GPS™ Child Safety Blog

I have been thinking a lot lately about this boy that was kidnapped in Las Vegas, for whom the Amber Alert system had been activated.

Fortunately, everything worked out just fine. The boy was found safe and sound walking down a street in Vegas. I hate to be self-promoting, but our Amber Alert GPS system would have saved the nation of an Amber Alert and, more importantly, it would have saved the family of this boy all the anguish I am sure they went through.

If they had just had this little device in the pocket or backpack or belt of their son, they could have called the Amber Alert GPS unit with their cell phone and, presto, they would have known exactly where he was. Especially with the new 2G model coming out in February, they could have located him within 10-15 feet of his actual location!

Holy Cow! What stress that would have prevented. Oh well…folks just need to be educated about the unit. As a matter of fact, we just put up a power point presentation about how it works along with some videos explaining how it could help you as a parent on the home page. Here is a link to the powerpoint presentation;

Well, I’m glad I got this off my chest. It is so frustrating that I can’t tell the world right now that we can save lives…that children can be tracked when they are out of our sight…that we can have some bloody peace of mind when our kids leave the safe haven of our home.

Don’t mind me…I’m just a rambling mom…

P.S. By the way, I should tell everyone that our regular/current Amber Alert GPS units are virtually sold out. If you want the new, exciting Amber Alert GPS 2G, you will have to pre-order them. They come out in February 2009 and the pricing right now on the pre-order is the same as the current model. The prices will go up come February…FYI.

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:
