Mission StatementThe mission of Outdoor Product Cooperative, LLC
is to have entrepreneurs and product developers of
outdoor-related products come together for the purpose of promotion, marketing, and sales of all of the products in the coop. In representing outdoor products as a group, there is more opportunity to benefit collectively as members of the group than to promote each product alone. Each member pays an annual fee to join and remain members of the coop, and, upon reaching a certain level of profitability, the coop would share dividends with all members of the coop collectively, as one advantage to membership. Other benefits to membership include benefiting from each member's sphere of influence and exposure to the cooperative, collective marketing efforts, collective sales efforts on the website and promotion of the website, insider knowledge of community trade events and participation in various events, and the power of belonging to a larger entity when approaching larger retail organizations for the possibility of wholesale opportunities.
The Cooperative has several revenue streams including a percentage of sales from all products sold on the website, banner advertising sales on the Coop website for companies that would like to target members of the coop and their customers, and annual membership dues.
Inside Right:
How It Works
Each Prospective Member who meets basic product qualifications can pay a $300 Annual Membership Fee to join the OPC ( Outdoor Product Cooperative)
Membership Fees entitle each member to have either 1) a product listing in the eCommerce portion of the Coop website and detailed description/pictures/logo, or 2) an advertising space on the Coop Website ( If it is a service )
As your products sell on the website, a percentage of sales (20 % of gross sales ) goes back into the coop for trade show/marketing funds to promote all products in the coop collectively and to maintain the website.
Members can earn credits and commissions toward the next year's membership dues by referring other members who join the coop.
