We love herb businesses. These are people who really believe that plants offer themselves for food, medicine and just about everything and we only have to learn the plants' secrets. And often herbalists are so involved with the plants that they need some help in showing themselves off. So we help. We help our members grow herbs, market herbs and herbal products and be an herbalist successfully

Everyone talks about their resolutions, and for the most part, it's just that....talk.Here are some things to do starting now:
Get a Google alert for yourself and your business. Pay attention whenever anyone mentions you and engage the person. You don't know what this can bring.Send a hand written thank you note every day.
Write in your blog everyday to teach. With herbs, you'll never run out of ideas. And after a while, people will sign up.
Hand out free samples if you have a store.
Run classes if you have a shop and webinars if you're online. Trust me, you know a lot and after a while you'll love them.
It's the little things that will endear you to your customers and build you a tribe. Try it.

It will always be a work in process but it's useful now. It's one of the best resource guides available and is a unique way to find herbal products. We try to list as many herb businesses as possible. I'm always looking for new people to add. If you're an herb business, drop us a line and we'll tell you how to get listed. If you have a suggestion on what you'd like to see, we'd love to hear it. Use it now, feel free to go ahead. It's exciting.
Our online publication, the Bu$iness of Herbs is one of the benefits of membership in our network. If you'd like to sample us, we're allowing everyone to have access to 4 free issues. We're hoping you'll find enough material to make an impact on your business and want to join us. Just drop me an email and we'll send you links to four of our recent issues. Click here. Remember, this will not tell you how to start an herb business. You'll find that in our shop. It's information on marketing, latest research on herbs and articles on other herb businesses. Actually, it's a lot of info on marketing.
We also have a listserve for herb business folk at well. It's usually limited to association members but we've found it's a great way to help increase the networking experience for all. So give it a shot....join us by going here and signing up..
What kind of businesses are members? If you check out our featured businesses this month, you'll see a wide variety....growers to manufacturers to retail shops.
We're always open to comments and suggestions, so feel free to write.Maureen Rogers

This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding our resource guide. Here we list all herb businesses but members have much longer listings, larger type, thumbnails of their websites and more.
| Our directory provides listings for all herb related organizations, associations and societies. If your group would like to be listed, let us know. No charge and the listing also goes into The Herbal Green Pages.
