AGTA Offers Members Special Pricing Incentive at GTC The AGTA GTC is extending this offer exclusively to all AGTA Members in appreciation of the support they have shown the AGTA through their 2009 Membership dues and GemFair Tucson booth fees. |
For example, if a Firm Member paid $1,000 in dues and $5,000 in GemFair Tucson booth fees, for a combined total of $6,000, AGTA will apply half of the dues and booth fees toward the purchase of up to $6,000 in laboratory reports, making the net cost $3,000. The regular price of each individual report will be reduced by 50%. Members who do not exhibit in Tucson, as well as AGTA Retail members, will receive the same Special Purchase Price package. For example, a Retail Member would be able to purchase $350 (annual dues) worth of AGTA GTC reports for $175. This tremendous Member Benefit not only adds value to their Membership but to their inventory as well. AGTA GTC colored gemstone reports are one of the most powerful selling tools Members have to increase customer confidence in the company and the product. "We know times are challenging right now, and this is our way of helping each and everyone of our Members generate more business," states Douglas K. Hucker, AGTA CEO. "It is also our way of saying ‘Thanks for the support you have shown to the AGTA." Note: The Special Purchase Prices Member program is a limited time offer and is only available to AGTA Members in good standing. For a summary of the money spent on Membership and booth fees, please contact Joan Allen at the AGTA office in Dallas at 800-972-1162 or joan@agta.org.
