Vendor Memberships

Vendor memberships are for business who provide products or services to those in the handcrafted soap industry. Benefits are geared toward those things that support the industry overall and which help them gain exposure to soapmakers..

Vendor Members may also participate in the Certification Program and use the HSMG Member Logo on their website, promo, packaging and signage.

Vendor Membership is in the name of a business or company (rather than an individual). Vendor Members may vote, but may not hold office.

There are three Tiers of membership, with dues based on the level of membership benefits. For more information on benefits for each level see: For Vendors and Suppliers and the Member Benefits Chart.

Vendor Membership - Tier 1

Tier 1 membership is designed to provide the HSMG items and services most often purchased by larger vendors (i.e. advertising in The Handcrafted Soapmaker, Conference Exhibitor Space and Conference sponsorhip opportunities) as a single, all-inclusive package.

In addition, a substantial portion of the membership dues are reserved for legislative advocacy, so joining at the Tier 1 level is a way to provide support for that HSMG activity.

$3,000.00

Vendor Membership - Tier 2

Tier 2 benefits are designed to provide the HSMG items and services most often purchased by vendors as a single, all-inclusive package, but at a smaller level. As with Tier 1, a portion of the revenue is earmarked for legislative advocacy.

$1,500.00

Vendor Membership - Tier 3

The Vendor Tier 3 Membership is designed for businesses working on a smaller budget but who still want to gain exposure to soapmakers and support the activities of the HSMG.

$500.00
