Save Big Each Year With Our Wholesale Buying Club

Many digital marketing services are often sold by agencies, media companies and consultants BUT fulfilled by another company.  The service supplier “white labels” the service so the agency, media company or consultant can put their logo on the reports and buy the service at wholesale while clients believe they did work.

The Five Star Marketing Club provides members with access to these same services at substantial savings.  We have over 200 services from a growing list of white label partners.  Members receive a discount on the markup.

Here’s an example:  One vendor will create a nice website for a suggested retail price of $2097.  They white label and provide the service for a wholesale price of $699.  This means the markup was $1398.

Silver and Gold Members typically receive a 50% discount on the markup.  So in this example, the member price would only be $1398 providing a $699 savings!  Bronze members receive a 5% discount on the markup is still a $69 savings which isn’t bad for a free membership!

We believe in transparency so we have provided examples of the Wholesale and Retail Prices on services below.  Members receive a discount on the markup.  For more details, download the member wholesale price lists in the members area.

How Does It Work?

Sometimes the agency, media company or consultant basically takes your order, buys it at wholesale and charges the client whatever they want.  In some cases, the agency, media company or consultant may provide some real value added services, strategic advice or relationship value.

In some ways, the Five Star Marketing Club is like a wholesale club like Sam’s Club or Costco where they are able to pool the members buying power and negotiate better deals.  Many service providers who “white label” charge monthly fees and require that you are an agency to purchase at wholesale.

In other ways, the Five Star Marketing Club is more like Legal Zoom where businesses and consumers can answer a few questions and order legal products without contacting an attorney.  If desired or needed, Legal Zoom will also connect your with an attorney who can provide specific advice.

The Five Star Marketing Club provides information about the various products and services available from vendors.  We take your order, gathers the required information and we work with the vendor to facilitate the completion as the project coordinator.

Like Legal Zoom, if a member desires specific strategy and marketing advice, members can use our Discount Directory of providers to locate appropriate agencies or consultants who can provide these value-added services.

The Wholesale Buying Club is great way to save for businesses that self-direct their marketing efforts.  It’s also a great way to ensure you are receiving the extra value from the agency or consultant who may be just processing your order at the full retail rate or even higher.
