B&B has recently transitioned to a new vendor approval and payment system, after an announcement (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=151666) and feedback period that began in early June, 2010. 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 (not contributor) 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. Annual vendor subscriptions start at $120. Given the high visibility our site affords, we predict 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.)

If you click on the link above and find yourself unable to see vendor payment options (everyone can see contributor payment options, but vendor payment options are visible only to approved vendors), please contact a moderator. If you're a new vendor interested in advertising to our members, kindly PM with a description of your business and any pertinent weblinks, and we'll get you set up, subject to brief vetting protocols designed to ensure the safety of our members and the high quality of our vendor corner.

If you have any questions at all please contact one of our friendly moderators. We would be happy to work with you to make your vendor experience here a rewarding and lucrative one, while successfully navigating the rules we've designed to keep our forums gentlemanly, informative, and free from strong-arming by commercial interests. Thank you for your interest in B&B.
