Monthly Vendor Partner Update Submissions

Vendor Partner Updates

Your participation in our Vendor Partner Updates helps us connect you with our members. Your submissions are all featured in our members-only portal. We also send out a monthly email to our communities, which highlights new partner announcements, contract cancellations, pricing updates, new product announcements, time-sensitive promotions, and newsworthy updates.

What should you submit?

Product promotions, limited-time offers, new product announcements, newsworthy content, press releases, product updates, your featured products, rebates, program information, product changes/replacements/discontinuations, or general brand awareness-type messaging. Remember, if you're out of sight, you're out of mind. We encourage you to submit content each month.

Our membership highly values information from you. We strongly encourage you to provide us with these updates and changes in a timely fashion. Please provide a brief description, supporting document such as Excel or PDF, image, or link to an article, PDF, etc. You may reference your contract for specific stipulations.

Please use the form below to provide us with your content.

Submission Guidelines

Picture size recommendation: 657 h x 438 w pixels. Please plan for this size when submitting your corresponding pictures. We will automatically include your logo so there is no need to use this as your picture.
Word Count: 100 or less
Your company may submit up to 4 products per month.
We encourage product promos and newsworthy content.
All content will have an end date. If an end date is not clearly indicated due to a promo, we will set an end date of 6 weeks from the approval date.
If you would like your submission featured for multiple communities, please select all that apply. There is no need to submit the same submission for each community.

All submissions are reviewed and proofed by the VGM & Associates Marketing Team. Each submission is also checked to ensure that the content is promoted to the appropriate community.

Best Practices

Submit content monthly for maximum exposure.
Portal content runs for one month, with the option to extend up to three months.
Lead with value/benefit. Focus on business impact—ROI, reimbursement, efficiency—not just product features.

FAQ

Are vendors included on email distribution lists?
No. Vendor partners are not included on our member email distribution lists. Our emails to our membership may contain pricing updates, pricing sheets, and content from other vendor partners, and many of the links direct to our members-only portal. Because we’re unable to provide access to only individual vendor content within the portal or the email, we do not add vendor partners to these lists.

Can I see my submission before it goes live?
Submissions are reviewed and published each Monday. We will review content to make sure that it is being marketed to the correct channel, proof for grammar and punctuation, and make sure a picture is attached. If we have questions about your submission, we will ask.

Can I log into the portal to see my page? I don’t remember my login.
Vendor partners do not have portal access. The portal contains members-only content, including vendor pricing. Public resources are available on the Vendor Partner Resources page without a login.
