Licensees
also enjoy visibility on an elegant, user-friendly web site; a
web-based store, filled with hundreds of items available for purchase
with the "Alpacas in the USA!" logo and slogan emblazoned on them; and
exclusive, high-quality radio advertisements customized for each
Licensee's farm. All marketing tools are offered signed Licensees on an
"ala carte" basis.
The group of Licensees numbers over 75 nationwide as of January 1st, 2008.
Becoming
a member of A/USA involves submission of the Application (click on the
picture to the right), confirmation of invitation, full execution of
the Perpetual Use Licensing Agreement (extended to new farms after
approval of their application), and payment of all associated fees
(outlined below).
The
Perpetual Use Licensing Agreement for the Premier impact movie is
required of all new participants before any other marketing tools may
be purchased, and provides Lifetime use of the original, Premier impact
movie and the rights to publish, email, display, copy and give this
little movie away to anyone you want to! This helps create more
informed buyers of alpacas, before they even have a chance to visit the
A/USA Licensees' farms. The Premier Perpetual Use Licensing fee is $750.
A non-refundable Application Fee of $50 must accompany any Application Form in 2008 (step #1).
Additionally,
an Enrollment/Administrative fee of $145 is required for enrollment to
the A/USA program and Initial Setup onto the A/USA website. This fee is
payable along with the Premier Perpetual Use Licensing fee,
approximately 7 to 10 days after the Application has been received by
A/USA and when the Application has been approved by the present group
of Licensees (step #2), making for a total cost of just $945 in the
first year to become a Lifetime Licensee ($50 + $145 & $750). No
other fees shall be required in the future other than the annual
recurring website subscription fee (currently $225/year), should the
Licensee wish to continue with subscription to the website each year,
or fees associated with other marketing tools and offerings. The
Enrollment/Administrative and Licensing Fee may be paid in one, two,
three or four installments, if desired, over one year. Once the
first-year fees are paid in full, the new Licensee may participate in
other unique A/USA marketing opportunities.
A
SECOND IMPACT MOVIE, specifically about SURI alpacas, is in the final
stages of production and will soon be released. Licenses for this particular
marketing tool are offered "ala carte" and exclusively to holders of
licenses for the Premier (first) impact movie. If a new applicant to
A/USA wishes to obtain both the Premier and Suri Licenses at the same
time and immediately upon joining, a special fee for both licenses of
$1200 may be paid at that time (or in installments as outlined), along
with the $195 first-year Application and start up fees (new total of
$1395).
