Title: Vendors showcase ?
Post by: Fredduck on February 28, 2009, 07:16:10 PM

This would be up to the moderators of the website but;
Perhaps the website needs a vendors showcase where local vendors and fabricators can post their specialties.
Then we, the local consumers can can pick and choose who we deal with for certain parts.
Perhaps those vendors could or would offer discounts for members for the right to post in the vendors showcase.
This would also educate those of us that are unsure of what local vendors have to offer.

I'm in favor of supporting local shops that support local consumers.

This topic comes up from time to time... but the club has decided we don't really want to get into the realm of allowing full on advertising.  It's a whole kettle of fish thats just better left alone.

Club members do receive discounts from various local suppliers.
