Benefits of Membership

As an Made In South Dakota Authorized Vendor, you have the opportunity to reach more customers than ever before, by leveraging Internet e-commerce opportunities without a major investment up front.

Your benefits include:

• A dedicated Made In South Dakota staff member (see below) — one point of contact, to answer all your questions and address issues/concerns.
• Visibility within our easy-to-navigate e-commerce site endorsed by the Department of Tourism & State Development — and represented by official spokeswoman First Lady Jean Rounds.
• Coordinated marketing and public relations efforts targeted for current and past SD residents and tourists. Tactical executions include magazine advertising, newspaper advertising, online site marketing, full-color brochures, tradeshow displays, rack cards at I-90 information booths, PR campaign and more.
• Access to online reports and tracking of your sales volume and transaction status 24/7 via a password secure online "extranet."
• Full-time customer service and technical support for you and your customers.
• Authorized Vendor Startup Kit — including Made In South Dakota branded labels, gift cards, and other packaging items.
• Monthly newsletter containing marketing tips and online sales advice.
