Stan Betesh Here - We have many customers who buy straps from our website Panatime that are watch geeks members I would like to know how we can have a Forum ?? Advertise ?? We would like to offer special Discounts on Straps and deep blue Watches Please let me know Stan Betesh Panatime Deep Blue ========= How would you guys like to handle this? Here is what I propose: #1. Tell him that we don't accept advertising. #2. Add his member account to the VIP group #3. Tell him that we will post a sticky in the accessories forum indicating the discount for membes. #4. Tell him that we will post a global to let folks know about the discount #5. Tell him that he can respond to posts where he can make recommendations #6. Have a graphic in his signature.
Given that these guys are not a major competitor to an SNBC vendors, this should be OK and the members all get a benefit. Let me know your thoughts. __________________ Michael

I don't think that makes a difference. SWI is a sponsor at BDWF as is both Android and NFW. __________________ Michael

________________________________________ I approve of your idea Michael! It is nice to offer our Members a few "vigs" in the industry, especially when the owner is polite enough to ask. I am currently speaking to a high-volume and reputable internet-dealer in Brooklyn about Member discounts on non-SNBC items.

________________________________________ I know Stan and like Stan, but this opens a big door that'll be hard to close on others as they approach us. I would say the most we should allow is maybe him listing his site on his sig. But no direct offers or promotion. Shop will be debuting a brand in a few months that will be dealing HEAVILY in accessories such as straps. __________________ 2009, 12:45 AM meijin WatchGeeks Owner True WatchGeek Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Atlanta, GA Posts: 8,201 I am done with nhwoods and his non-prize
