The Benefits of Your Vendor Membership
Being part of the Rental Housing Association of Washington (RHAWA) as a vendor member opens a cornucopia of opportunities. Your membership is more than a symbol of your commitment to the rental housing industry in Washington; it's a gateway to resources and connections that are instrumental for your business. This article aims to elucidate some core benefits tied to your vendor membership, shedding light on how they can be conducive to your operational and networking endeavors.
Referral System
Firstly, the referral system at RHAWA is tailored to bridge the gap between demand and supply. Whenever members reach out to RHAWA seeking products or services pertinent to the rental housing sector, the association directs them towards your business. This natural flow of referrals not only augments your potential customer base but also fosters a symbiotic relationship between you and the broader RHAWA community. It's pivotal to underscore that our members genuinely need your products and services. Your expertise and offerings are a vital cog in the seamless operation and advancement of their rental housing endeavors.
Vendor Directory
Your presence in the vendor directories is another facet of your membership that warrants attention. Being listed in two distinct categories within the RHAWA newspaper, and up to four online categories, your business gains visibility among a targeted audience. The online vendor directory, in particular, is a valuable platform where prospective clients can explore and reach out to you. This organized listing serves as a conduit for potential clients to discover what you have to offer. It's important to note that the vendor categories can be updated or added based on your areas of expertise, which in turn determine under which categories your business appears in the vendor directory. If you are interested in updating or adding vendor categories, feel free to contact: Luke Brown at lbrown@rhawa.org or (206)905-0610.
