Vendor/business Membership Fees & Rules


TammyWright

Recommended Posts

These are the new vendor rules as of 11/29/2011. (slight revision adding 8 & 9 3/23/2014)

We will now have paid memberships for ALL Vendors to participate in the forum.

We have NEW vendor options:

 

ONLY INSIDER ACCOUNTS are allowed to participate on this forum but must abide by the following rules:

1. Please be honest about who you are. DO NOT pretend to be a bride or groom to promote your business.

2. You are allowed 1 thread (in the "Vendor Marketplace" Forum) to introduce yourself and post your information advertising your business. Do not post your info in multiple threads.

3. Vendors Marketplace: Vendors are allowed to post 1 thread in the Vendor Marketplace with their business info, website, pictures, etc. All other ads/promotions/specials must be approved by BDW so please send the information to us for approval.

4. Please do not actively or aggressively solicit our members (PM-ing them or emailing them directly). If they would like information from you, they will contact you. We do not allow solicitations via pm. If it has been found that you have done so you may risk being banned from the forum.

5. Spamming: Although it is ok to put your company information in your signature (please reference siggy rule regarding putting website links) and profile, SPAMMING is PROHIBITED. You will get one warning about spamming. One example of spamming is welcoming newbies and saying something like "go to my website or contact me for more info".  Try to at least post something helpful or welcoming in the post.

6. Promotions or Giveaways: If you are a Vendor and have a "promotion" or "freebie" offer that you would like to post, please email us.   We do not want conflicting promos that may take away from another vendors give-away, etc. 

7. Starting new threads that profile your work (photography, invitations, etc.), please be sure that the following requirements are met:

  • the subject is a Destination Wedding (ex. photogs - do not post great pics from a wedding in Georgia) OR the subject is a BDW member.

8. Stay ON TOPIC: If the thread is about NOW Jade, do not post a random picture of another resort.  If the discussion is about a bride's frustration because her bridesmaid have backed out of the wedding, it is NOT appropriate to post pictures of a wedding picture you took with bunch of bridesmaids.  Try to be sensitive to the topic that is being discussed and share or support NOT just promote your business.

 

9. Where to post your images: It is best to post them in your image gallery with the image properly named, categorize and/or tagged.  Another great place to post them is in your Vendor Blog. If a member is asking for images of the gazebo at Dreams Los Cabos, it is appropriate to post one f your images of the gazebo at Dreams Los Cabos.  It is not appropriate to just post random images derailing the thread discussion.

 

This includes business that are not wedding related (ie. your side photography business, your modeling portfolio, anything you are trying to advertise, etc.)

Travel Agents:
If you are a travel agent and would like to advertise and/or participate on the site, please email ads@bestdestinationwedding.com. You must have destination wedding experience and there is a waiting list for travel agents to participate on the forum.

If you have paid for your yearly membership dues and/or any advertising and break one of the forum rules or vendor rules and are banned from the forum, you will not receive a refund of any membership dues or advertising fees.

* The membership fees do not apply to the Administrator(s) or Moderators. Administrator(s) and Moderators are allowed same privileges as Insider Vendors.

It has come to my attention that there are vendors sending private messages to members of this forum soliciting their services. This is not allowed, period. If a member of this forum is interested in contacting you, they will. Please consider this a warning to all vendors - we will ban any vendors that continue to break these rules.

I also want to encourage members to continue to let Tammy (host) or any of the moderators know if a vendor contacts you about using their services. It's ok to communicate with vendors privately, but we just don't want any of our members to feel unfomfortable when contacted by a vendor.

Tammy,I understand,but say in my case I already paid for basic Vendor membership. Do I still have to wait or the rules were changed to allow me to post there without having 100+ posts.

Thank you for your kind response and clearing this for me,

Martin,
Yes that is correct. ALL Vendors will now have to be paid members to participate on the forum.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
