Partners
Reach the owners. Solve the problems. Build long-term value.
Our approach
Partner offers should serve members, not just advertisers.
We want partners who make an owner's week easier: lower costs, clearer answers, safer stores.
Members first
An offer has to solve a real owner problem. Exposure alone is not the goal.
Vetted before listed
Partners and terms are reviewed before anything appears on this site.
No pressure on members
Owners choose freely. Partnership never means endorsement of every product.
Opportunities
Ways a partnership could work.
All partner opportunities are subject to approval and a lawful structure.
- 01
Member offers
Prospective discounts or improved terms for members, once vetted and approved.
- 02
Resource webinars
Practical sessions that teach owners something useful, not a sales pitch.
- 03
Business training
Courses and materials on compliance, security, finance and operations.
- 04
Service referrals
A vetted path for owners who need your kind of help.
- 05
Event sponsorship
Support for future gatherings, once events are confirmed.
- 06
National and state programs
Programs that fit state-by-state rules, subject to approval and a lawful structure.
Categories we're looking for
The services owners rely on.
- Payments & merchant services
- Insurance
- POS & technology
- Legal & compliance
- Security & loss prevention
- Retail equipment & fixtures
- Business services (finance, HR, payroll)
- Education & training

Alcohol suppliers and distributors
Relationships with alcohol suppliers, manufacturers, importers or distributors need a federal and state trade-practice review (including tied-house rules) first. We can't promise sponsorships or member programs in this area.
