👑 Vendor Directory: Join the Qween Bee's Inner Circle!

 This dedicated space on our website allows our community to find and connect with your business all year long. Whether you are a market regular or a busy local tradesperson, this directory provides a direct link to your services 24/7. 

• Direct Website Traffic: A permanent, dedicated profile page that steers our visitors straight to your business.
• Event Discount: (For Market Paths) Receive 25% off registration fees for every Qween Bee's Touch event.
• Community Trust: Association with the "Qween Bee" brand, known for quality and organization.

 To ensure we promote our most dedicated partners, eligibility for the Vendor Directory is based on proven commitment to our events:

1. Continued Commitment: Directory members must continue to participate in half or more of the total scheduled events during the current calendar year.
2. Website Subscription: You must have an active account and subscription to the Qween Bee's Touch website to sign in and manage your profile.
3. Required Documentation: Your profile link will go live once you have completed and returned the forms sent in the Welcome Packet (see 'Finalizing Your Listing' below).

We offer flexible commitment levels to fit your business model:

Path 1: The Reliability Path (FREE First Year)

• For: Proven market vendors who have met all Gold Standard requirements (Punctuality, Stay-to-Close, Cleanliness).
• Annual Fee: FREE for your first year! (Renews at $100.00/year thereafter).

Path 2: The New Commitment Path

• For: New vendors or those establishing a track record who want the 25% event discount immediately.
• Annual Fee: $100.00 per year.

Path 3: The Professional Trade Path

• For: Local trade businesses (e.g., Contractors, Plumbers, Real Estate, Professional Services) who are too busy to attend physical events but want the high-visibility digital presence.
• Annual Fee: $100.00 per year.
• Note: This path does not require event attendance, but maintains your presence in our community-facing directory.

To ensure we promote our most dedicated partners, eligibility is based on professional excellence:

1. The Gold Standard (Market Paths Only): Consistently demonstrating perfect attendance, punctual setup (ready before the start time), and "Stay-to-Close" integrity.
2. Professional Integrity (All Paths): All members must maintain clear communication and professional reliability in their dealings with the community.
3. Website Subscription: You must have an active account and subscription to the Qween Bee's Touch website to manage your profile.
4. Required Documentation: Your profile link goes live once the Media Release and Company Information forms from your Welcome Packet are returned.

 Directory membership is a full-year commitment. For those on Path 1 or 2, failing to meet the participation threshold (half or more of the year's events) or violating the Code of Conduct (No-Shows, late setups) will result in the immediate removal of your profile without a refund.
