Association Memberships

[champagne]

Just a little question regarding memberships to Beauty Associations.....

Having changed my insurance to a less well known company I am considering paying to belong to an association body.....for example The Guild or Babtac.......

I am looking to become an associate member..

Now my question is do many of you do this and do you think it is money well spent??

Im insured through babtac - only because its easy for me as its been with them since year dot.

I have considered it to get the guild mag subscription but thats about it. Other than insurance and the magazine I personally do not get much else out of it. However that said they both do a lot of work trying to raise standards etc and if I ever did need there advise there only a phone call away.

You have to weigh up what you get out of it yourself. Clients don't really know who they are and what they stand for so its not going to set you apart unless you educate your clients yourself.

I was insured with Babtac, just renewed for a more affordable insurance.

I am thinking along the lines of it looking professional, using logos, recieving up to date industry, helplines & info etc.

Although clients are not always aware of who they are but it does give them peace of mind when they see it certified and on the door of the salon, I have been asked on a few occasions who BABTAC are.

Think I already made my mind up lol
