Re: [AGA-sc] [AGA SC] Group Discount and Premium Club Program (fwd)

Good, thanks. Sometime when I catch my breath (heck, maybe I'll corner Greg 
at the convention) I'm going to hash out a deal for the Premium Clubs with 
Seachem.

But Bailin thinks we should approach them with a proposal of what we'd 
like, and start from there. I agree. but don't know what to ask for. What 
would a club like to have from Seachem? And what is the incentive for 
Seachem to give its support?

I *know* that they are supporting DFWAPC with donated goods. The only 
benefits I think Seachem gets are links all over the DFWAPC page, and the 
fact that Ricky runs around hollering "Buy Seachem! Buy Seachem!" at every 
meeting.

And that's cool. Nothing wrong with that. But I'm not sure the AGA is in a 
position to enforce that at local club meetings. And what if we want to do 
a deal with Kent Botanica? Or whatever? What does Kent get out of it?
