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.

Binders
I like the idea
of “AIS member discount”. From the storefront?
I’ve been trying
to figure out how to do an “AIS member discount” thru my catalog but it
means checking each membership?
There’s got to be
an easier way.
