Yeah fair enough ... it would be great to encourage any suppliers that support our members.
I also think we don't want to make it too hard either for us or the business

They don't allow open business advertising. They do however allow 'Sponsor' Advertising. Anyone trying to advertise that is not a sponsor gets their posts deleted. Obviously there are some requirements to being a sponsor which i'm not aware of... but the advertisers appear to offer discounts to members.
I can't help but think this approach might be too restrictive as we have such few members.
What if the only things we stipulate, in return for the free advertising, is that they place an easily visible Bassplayer.co.nz link on their website's home page, and that the topic must have some sort of special offer or discount available only for our members? I think this would achieve benefit for the members but not restrict the advertisers.
What do you think nzsimon?
