Sponsors

Dan-

I'd like to suggest that you add a Sticky in the Marketplace that includes all site sponsors (and links) and/or updating the Resources page to include sponsors in the Commerce section, or a sponsor specific subsection of the Resources page.

I assume that you have different levels of sponsorship, and perhaps that it why some are on the Resources page and some are not?

It could be a nice "go to" page to support your site sponsors first.

If you refresh your browser, the top banner ad will reload. It may take a few F5 key strokes but the ad will eventually pop up. That is what I do most of the time. The sponsors web stats will show that the connection originated from HB. That way the sponsors know we support their support of HB.

A short link list in a FAQ and favorites sticky post would be handy in the marketplace forum.

Good idea!

I've updated the Commerce category on the Resources page as you suggest. Some of the names are long-time supporters, some are very new to the site. The support from vendors like these have made possible HB projects like SwagFest, EspressoFest, Tamper Roadshow, Holiday Marketplace, Anniversary Celebration, Summer of Coffee, Best of Three, ... whew! that's a lot of events and contests in just over a year! So next time you're shopping around for coffee, equipment, or supplies, please consider the HB sponsors listed under Commerce on the Resources page.

Note: Be on the lookout for HB-only discounts too, either in their banner ad or Marketplace. Some of the most ardent sponsors have been known to offer a discount / extras to those who simply say "I'm an HB member." :-)
