Lana, thanks for doing all of the legwork to find a new vendor!
With the price going from $7.85 to $8.50, perhaps now is the time to raise the
price of name badges? We charge $10 each, and the price has been the same for
at least 10 years. I propose we bump the price to $15 for a new name badge.
Sure, we are non-profit, for-the-members organization, but we need to keep our
eye on our pennies so we can continue to fund our activities.
Regards,

Subject: [evac-board] Badge and Pin Vendor
Board/Officers –
I have spent several days ‘interviewing’ possible vendors and feel that Best
Trophies are going to be a great replacement for our last vendor. They do not
have any set up fees, badges are $8.50 with the magnet strip, and the awards
will be $7.00 pre-tax. They will take orders over the email but I will need to
pick up from them. However, they are fairly convenient to the post office so I
will just pick up the mail and any orders in one trip.
With the last vendor, the cost was $7.85 for badges, $7.25 for awards pre-tax
and a $3.00 shipping cost per order.
I did look at other venders and they were more expensive with a ‘set up’ fee
for each run.
Do I need a ‘board vote’ on this? I have 7 badges and one award that are
pending and they will be closed next week so I wanted to get the order in to
make sure they are ready by the Jan. Meeting.
Let me know if I can go ahead with them.
Thanks -
Lana
