Sandwich Business Group Membership 2018
The Sandwich Business Group welcomes new members. Whether you are a sole proprietor, a larger business, or a nonprofit located in Sandwich, please consider joining our group. We offer marketing opportunities, group support, workshops, and the chance to contribute to Sandwich's economic and social development, which helps everyone! SBG is not just about networking with each other. It’s about supporting and fostering the economic viability of our community as the community supports us.
We also offer an Associate Membership for businesses and organizations outside of Sandwich who would like to stay connected to us. Associate Members get a listing on the website, and the opportunity to be an advertising sponsor on the website for the same fee as Sandwich members. The Associate Membership annual dues are $75. |
SBG membership runs from Jan 1st to Dec 31st each calendar year. To be included in the brochure, membership dues need to be received prior to January 17th of the current year. You also get a discount when you pay before January 17th.*
You can get listed on the website at any time of year, so please don't wait to join! Memberships that begin in the last three months of the year (Oct, Nov, Dec) will include the next calendar year (2018). Information here about Associate membership.
The Sandwich Business Group was originally founded in 2005 as a way to collaborate on affordable advertising and marketing with fellow business enterprises within the town. We mail a handy fridge-size reference card listing all our members directly to 10,000 households in Sandwich, Tamworth, Moultonborough, Center Harbor, Meredith, and Holderness. Another 13,000+ of our full size brochure with a map have annually been distributed throughout central NH and at selected State Welcome Centers.
In order to provide a full year of membership and meet print deadlines for inclusion on the mailings, and a presence on our website, the deadline for 2018 membership has been changed to January 17, 2018, the date of our Annual Meeting. The cost of this massive advertising opportunity is covered by the low annual membership of $130; $120 if you pay before January 17, 2018. Membership also includes:
* SBG is happy to offer a payment plan if paying in full is a burden. We want you as a member! If interested, please call Don Brown at 284-6219.

Those who visit Sandwich, NH, often find themselves planning to return. Some even return here to live. What makes Sandwich such a prized destination? An invigorating atmosphere, friendly people and quiet streets. Clear waters and scenic views in the White Mountains. Plenty to see and do embedded in the vibrant spirit of an historic New England town. I am grateful to be part of this exceptional community.
