Welcome to Branson Boards! We are excited to offer local businesses a dedicated space to connect with residents and grow their brand. This page outlines our guidelines and the various ways you can showcase your services to our members.
Vendor Registration Process
To ensure a high-quality experience for our users, all vendors must complete a formal registration.
- Submit Business Details: Use our Contact Form to provide your legal business name, contact info, and a brief description of your services.
- Verification: Our team will review your application for local eligibility and compliance with our community standards.
- Account Upgrade: Once approved, your account will be upgraded with a "Verified Vendor" badge and access to specialized advertising tools.
Community Rules for Vendors
Our goal is to maintain a helpful environment where members feel supported, not spammed.
- Honesty & Transparency: All advertising must be truthful and non-deceptive, backed by evidence for any claims made.
- Engagement First: Focus on answering user questions and contributing value before posting promotional links.
- Original Content: Avoid AI-generated posts; we prioritize authentic, original content that speaks directly to our local audience.
- No Aggressive Tagging: Avoid excessive tagging or "deluge" replies to every mention of a product; keep interactions natural.
