Three
distinct groups benefit from our services.
Join us now!!!!
First, the person thinking about
starting a herb related business whether it's growing herbs
commercially, running an herb shop, manufacturing herbal products or
starting up a healing practice utilizing herbs. Starting up a business
takes a lot of research. You need to know what laws apply to you, the
potential market, what crops are viable, where you can sell your
products. The kinds of questions that often leave you wondering where to
even start your phone calls. We cut through all that by having that kind
of information for you: regulations, recommendations, even possible
contacts for customers. We�ll give you a recommended reading list and
answer specific questions or put you in touch with those that can. With
over 30 years of experience in the herb industry and close to 40 years
experience as a Certified Public Accountant and Certified Management
Accountant, there's the kind of help that can get you off to a good
start.or stop you before you waste any more time or money. The cost of
your low annual dues($130.00) are tax deductible and provide more
training and guidance then found in courses costing $500.00 and more.
In addition you receive free advertising on one of the oldest and
frequently visited herbal resource sites. We believe you will agree
that your annual dues of $95.00 is one of the best investments you can
make in the successs of your business.
Second, if you're a
small to medium sized business you're often stumped as to how to expand
your sales. You need to keep track of the latest trends, research and
legislation to avoid making costly mistakes. And we subscribe to all
those costly publications so you don't have to. You need that occasional
boost to keep your creative juices flowing. Or you need to find products
that the competition doesn't have yet. We can help with all this and
more. If you're selling to the trade there are free classified ads on
our website. If you're selling to the general public those ads are also
posted on our web site getting you worldwide exposure. You're listed in
our Herbal Green Pages Online, the acknowledged most complete resource
guide for the herb industry with over 3000 listings of herbal businesses
(and products of interest to herb businesses). You're listed in the
online version that gives you more exposure with links to your home page
or Facebook page and/or email address and an enhanced listing.
We can give
you names of brokers that may be interested in purchasing your
products. We also have a weekly online publication, The Bu$iness of
Herbs, to keep you up to date on what's going on in the industry as well
as articles to help you with your business. All this.and an opportunity
to network with members through our listserve or online through Facebook,
LinkedIn, Twitter or Google+ and promote your products
for only $130
Third, if you're one of the
major players in the industry what we can do for you is give you even
more exposure for a very minimal cost..$130 for continuous advertising
is almost unheard of in today's market (and no high dues based on
revenue). You can use the Herbal Green Pages to search for new growers,
or list your own needs on the Herbal Exchange..be linked to our site
with your own web site and increase your traffic.run classified
ads..and more. All at discounted prices below the norm. All requests
we get for large quantities of bulk herbs are referred members. We're
like a broker without the fees. And we can help you with your own
product searches.
