Q. How big of a grower do I have to be to join BAMP Marketing and Consulting Inc?

Q. What kind of information will I receive for my membership fee?

  Q. How will I receive this information?
  A. Most of the clients in BAMP receive this information in an e-mail format. Some also request to receive it by fax or regular mail. Email would be the preferred and most timely method if you are set up this way but it is not required.
           
 
           
  Q. How often should I expect to receive market information and updates?
  A. Usually updates will be sent at least every two weeks. It really depends on the amount of activity in the marketplace. For very important issues, a personal phone call may be made to communicate this directly to each member client.
