FAQ's for Sponsors:

Q: How do I tell what type of Sponsor I am?

A: All Treasured Sponsors have the little "pot of gold" icon next to their names and are listed in a box at the start of each state/province’s listing. Valued Sponsors listings are below the Treasured box. Those whose Sponsorships have expired recently may be listed in the "Shops I know" under each state.

Q: I didn't realize my Sponsorship was expired! How do I re-up? 

A: Simple; just click on the level of Sponsorship you want on our Sponsor Page. Remember to tell me your URL!

Q: My web site’s almost finished. How do I get you to list it?

A: Just email me when your site is ready for prime time and visitors, and I’ll replace your e-business card with your "real" site.

Q: Where’s my Certificate of Appreciation?

A: Good question! It’s in my computer! Simply email me with your name and shop/ city and tell me you’re ready to have me send your to you via PDF, so you can print it out in full glorious color (or colour if you're Canadian) and frame it on your Brag Wall in your shop.

Q: What can I do to help your site help me and my clientele?

A: Best question yet. I consider you PARTNERS in this venture, so 

• add one of our graphic banners wherever it's suitable on your site. 
• Our banners don't suit your site's design? You don't want to use the word consignment on your site? That's okay, you're welcome to just use a link in your text like Find out the Secrets of Savvy Secondhand Shopping
• add the URL of HTC to your business card, "how-to" brochures, bag-stuffers, and other handouts, 
• use any of the applicable banners in your e-newsletters and e-notices to your mailing list. Customers are impressed when they see you are a Professional!
• and on the web help spread the word on other sites, blogs, and anywhere else you know of:
• Email me for the "ReSell RePlace ReJoice SPONSOR" graphic to use on your site. Use it wherever you think it will be most impressive.
• Remember, too, that reporters LOVE sidebar information to add to any article they may write about you (and the larger the article the better, right!?), so tell that reporter: To learn how to make the most money of your underloved items, see the tips at www.HowToConsign.com.

The more folks who visit HTC, the more notice YOUR shop will get, the more prepared your suppliers and shoppers will be when they first arrive at your shop, and the all-round better the world will spin on its axis.
