I do not know if I can amend my own motion, but here is what I would like
to see; That AIS accept the bid for Rogers Looseleaf for 200 binders including
boxes and dye cast for $1410 plus $150 shipping to Oregon, and that these be
offered through the storefront at $20 each plus shipping. Also that AIS have a
special pre-printing price of $12 each plus shipping for those
orders recieved before April 30.
Discusion: at $12 if we sell 114 we would break even. If we would get
orders for more than 200 than we could adjust the order upward such that we
could cover the orders and still have minimal inventory. I would suggest in
that case we should order within a round number those that cost would be
covered by the profits of whatever was sold over the 114. Also we can always
decide to give a discount to AIS members from the $20, but $20 seems to
be the normal retail price, and that value should be reflected in its
storefront listing.

Re: [AISdiscuss] AIS Bulletin Binders
I don't know if this has already been done , but we've discussed it for
awhile...
If there is a motion on the floor to buy the AIs Bulletin Binders, I call
the question.
If there is NOT a motion about this I make the following motion,
That the AIS purchase an initial order of 200 Binders according to the bid
obtained by Bob Pries from Rogers Looseleaf ( $5.45 each including a $150
setup charge plus $.85 each for a shipping box). Storefront to sell the
binders for $12 including shipping.

The Daylily Society offers a coupon with a membership, new, renewal, or
upgrade. The coupon is honred by nuseries that wish to do so and on the
nurseries own terms. This gives the members a discount but also drives
business to those that honor it. It means the member can shop to see what
they think is the best value and the nursery can make sure an order placed
does not loose them money and perhaps gains extra business. I have been
suggesting to several people that we really could use an Iris nurserymans
forum that could make suggestions to the board that could help with programs
that are good for the nursery and also good for AIS. An additional thought
was that considering the amount of fraud on the internet that if this
cosortium of nurseryman could agree to a code of ethics that AIS could
promote those Iris growers that subscribed to the code.

RE: [AISdiscuss] Motion regarding purchase of Magazine Binders
I like the idea of
âAIS member discountâ. From the storefront?
Iâve been trying to
figure out how to do an âAIS member discountâ thru my catalog but it means
checking each membership?
Thereâs got to be
an easier way.
