Why Join nwGrapeVine?
As a member of our virtual networking service, you can take advantage of the countless benefits, meet new businesses, gain clients, and increase marketing exposure for your business. nwGrapeVine offers three different levels of membership, each designed for different types of businesses:
Basic membership is free and offers you a subscription to our email newsletter. It also allows you access to all of the content services on our web site, as well as includes a basic profile for your business in our membership directory.
Upgraded membership costs just $25 per year, and builds on the basic level with advanced publishing options, such as posting classified ads, press releases, and company events to the online calendar. All of this information is presented in a detailed company profile, which is organized and displayed on the custom nwGrapeVine web address of your choice (such as "mycompanyname.nwgrapevine.com"). In this way, your detailed profile can serve as a standalone web site, which can be especially helpful if you do not already have a web site for your business.
Guide membership is the highest level of membership we offer, and is completely free. Membership is limited and only available to the leaders in their respective industries. What does it take to be a guide? Simple. You must demonstrate that you have a professional command of how your industry works and should be prepared to share your expertise with other members of nwGrapeVine. The primary way this is done is through publishing a blog on this web site about your industry. For example, if you specialize in Accounting, you could maintain a blog about accounting and offer tips to help businesses with their accounting needs. Other required participation includes leading discussions in our Members Forums, such as proposing new topics, answering questions, and offering advice. In return for all your knowledge, you will gain high profile exposure as a true industry leader, and with it, the admiration, respect, and business of other nwGrapeVine members! We recognize that this type of membership can require a lot of effort, which is why we consider a Guide's contribution of information to our service as payment for membership dues.
Membership Level and Features
* Guide Membership is limited. Guide members agree to maintain their presence on nwGrapeVine by posting regularly to their industry blog and leading discussions on the member forums. Please contact us to learn more about the benefits of Guide membership.
