This message is being sent to clarify B&B's vendor subscription policy, and serves as a friendly reminder that as an unpaid vendor, you are not eligible to promote your business here in any way. Future violations of this policy may result in sanctions against your membership here. The good news is that your reputation and participation at B&B over time have led us to approve you for vendor status.

In an effort to ensure site sustainability and ongoing quality of the vendors who advertise to our members, we have enacted an annual fee structure for advertising access to our thousands of members. In order to advertise your business in our vendor corner and your signature line, please select a vendor membership level of your choosing at http://www.badgerandblade.com/vb/payments.php. Many of these levels include premium services designed to help your business make the most of your presence here. Given the high visibility our site affords, we are certain that any vendor with a quality product to offer will recoup this expenditure (and much more) quite quickly in B&B-originated sales. (Vendors who choose not to pay this fee are not permitted to advertise on B&B.)

Quite frankly, it'd be our pleasure to see you with a shiny new vendor tag under your username here at B&B. Over time, as subscribed vendors are the only vendors here able to advertise their products, market share will certainly fall toward those who have subscribed. Vendor subscription costs at B&B are substantially less expensive than other targeted marketing options in the marketplace, representing a solid value for your business, particularly given our selective approval process. You are, however, welcome to continue as a member at B&B without a vendor subscription, so long as you refrain from further posts that may in any way be construed as advertising.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt and understanding of this message, and, as always, let us know if you have any questions whatsoever.

Regards,
