Added for Commercial Sales People, monthly option

[Lowlight]

I have added a monthly option for "commercial sales" on the site.

if you go above in the navigation, under UPGRADE there are two options for becoming a commercial sales vendor

I yearly payment of $1500,

A monthly option @ $175

Now understand if you make a post, and cancel the option, the post can and probably will be removed going forward. If you have a limited offer that will end, then ending the offering and canceling is no problem. But if you use it once and think the thread is here so I'll milk it, we'll delete the thread.

But many have been asking for a small business-friendly solution, here it is, a monthly lower-cost option.

Hi,

Not that it matters what I think, lol, but I think this is a great idea and hopefully it helps reduce the number of commercial entities from trying to skirt around the forums commercial entity policy!!

And for any commercial entities that may end up reading this (might get long) here is my personal insight as to the benefits of jumping into the commercial sales sector of Snipers Hide.

I have by design NOT put my company on any other forum, social media or traditional marketing platform since its' inception 7 or 8 months ago but instead purposely "Launched" the company on Snipers Hide (As a commercial account, before the first post ever made mention of it).

By solely launching and more importantly interacting with the members of Snipers Hide I am able to keep my companies "Online" advertisement and the associated time it takes to do that properly; focused on a membership base that understands my company products instead of 5% this, 20% that, etc etc.

I can tell you that there is no way anyone can ever convince me that putting my company on another forum or social media platform would have brought the quality of visitors to our recent Shot Show booth as putting it on Snipers Hide did!!! And (back to the design part of that, lol) I get to say that because I did not put my company anywhere else and still have not.

I can pull the analytical data of my website visitors and compare visitors linked from Snipers Hide to those that arrive from search engines. I know where the numbers point.

The time saved by being able to interact with the membership base here is PRICELESS in regards to getting our products in independent T&E hands outside of our company. I will say that when I put my company on SH I did not do so with any inclination of just how easy it would be to have direct access to independent T&E members from various backgrounds and such that have asked for NOTHING from me in order for them to test and evaluate our products.

The money saved from paying outside T&E firms is way more than the commercial entity cost here on SH.

Sincerely,
Theis

Is there a list of supporting venders?

 

[Lowlight]

I don;t have a list because it changes pretty often

there are few here that need to get caught up and once I have a few minutes to check the list I can say who is current and who is not

I allow the accounts to go yearly, so there are some who have signed up in previous months that do not have to renew yet, so again the list is pretty fluid

We try to be as small business-friendly as possible but understand I too am a small business, pretty much a one-man shop with moderators here who carry the weight of interacting with members a bit more than I do. They are a great resource to navigate the site and understand the dynamics.

I appreciate the companies that recognize the value, we do our best to support them any way we can.
