Membership

The Membership model best fits and reflects our goals with this platform. We focus on the members’ needs and work with them.

We would like to expand the benefits segments for Member benefits as this develops. Many trade organizations offer group discounts and benefits.

Why become a Member?

We’re all about the food, food science, and foodservice industries. Based in Arizona, our goals are to better support these industries and individuals, our local associations, the culinary education community, and professional development.

• You have an oven demo to promote; how do you market that?
• You have a new product to support and promote; how do you do that?
• You’d like to keep in touch with our Arizona culinary community more often; how do you do that?

Like bundling your home, life, and auto insurance, we offer solutions to help market and promote your events based on your company’s needs. Reduce labor by working with us to create the content you need to market your goals.

Membership Levels are a set of plans for which we work with our members on a monthly basis. Instead of being reactive, our goal is to be proactive in our planning so we are all more successful in our efforts.

Directory Features

Each listing in the Directory is a webpage devoted to that listing. The different Membership Levels are reflected in the listing.

• Keyword-driven to help facilitate lookups in the Directory. Garbage in, garbage out. Optimize your listing for success.
• HTML access to customize listing- videos, images, PDFs, blog posts, polls, analytics, promotions, site shots, etc.
• Direct to Connect allows users to connect with you directly from your listing in the Directory. Engage with your audience while they’re right in front of your listing.
