A ship's store is an excellent vehicle to raise funds for your group and provide a service to your members. If you already have an online store and would like to purchase our products for resale on your website click here. If you don't have an online store, The Gear Locker is the perfect place to host a ship's store for your association, museum foundation, or reunion group.This is a free service that we provide to bona fide associations. You can visit our demo store by clicking here.

In association with The Anchor Store, we can set your group up with an online store to sell our US Navy related products and memorabilia specific to your ship or unit. The products are provided by The Anchor Store so you won't have to keep track of inventory. We will handle online payments so you won't have to worry about setting up a merchant account or collecting any money. We will ship the products directly to your customer and provide you with monthly statements of sales. In fact we will handle all aspects of the business and send you monthly checks to add to your association's coffers.

This sounds too good to be true doesn't it? Well... the explanation is quite simple. The Gear Locker is a subsidiary of The Anchor Store and is intended to be a marketing arm for our products. We will set up and maintain your association's store and all we ask, is that you promote your webpage to your association members. In return The Anchor Store will pay your association a 10% commission for all products that sell through your webpage.

For example, if your group is the USS Monitor Reunion Association, we would provide you with your own webpage at http://www.thegearlocker.com/monitor. You would then advertise this webpage on your own website and in your group literature. When someone visits this webpage and makes a purchase, your group will have earned a commission. You will also benefit as we continue to market www.thegearlocker.com via search engines and our own advertising campaign.

The only requirement is that your group is a bona fide association or reunion group with the credentials to prove it and you agree to market your page to your members. Use the menu at the top of the page to view our online stores including our ficticious demo store.
