Thread: The new vendor / classifieds program

SRP rules for sales and advertising

There are 2 sets of rules governing sales and advertising on SRP: classifieds rules and vendor rules.
The classifieds system is meant for all members to buy and sell shaving gear. This includes both vendors and regular members.
The vendor program is an additional set of rules governing sales and advertising for people who are performing sales as a commercial venture.


Vendor program

Program outline:
• The vendor program is open to anyone interested to be a vendor.
• There is a fee of $100/year or $30/quarter which can be paid by paypal at the "Paid Subscriptions" link in the navigation bar or here.
• Optionally, a vendor sub-forum is another $50/year, please contact us if you are interested.
• The details about the vendor’s modus operandi are irrelevant. Whether the store is brick and mortar, a website, or a simple facebook page does not matter towards eligibility.

The benefits of being a vendor are:
• "Vendor" badge under the screen name:
• The user title, signature, and avatar may contain advertising or company logo.
• The signature line may contain a link to the vendor's website / storefront if any.
• The ability to post advertising threads in the Vendor section of the forum. In this section a vendor may post advertising, materials for sale, etc in the thread dedicated to them (1 thread per vendor).
• A vendor can submit an article to the site, introducing their business. This article will be posted on the main section of the site.
• A vendor blog to post articles about anything related to the vendor's shaving business.
• Increased limit of Private Messages to 800 messages.
• For an additional fee of $50/year a personal sub-section within the vendor forum, where vendors can start new threads as much as they want.
