Andy is not a sponsor, as far as I know at this time. A while back, he asked me if I was a Marsh Member, and at that time I was. At that time I think he may have been recruited to be sponsor, but I can't be sure. Andy asked me why he should be a sponsor of a group that I was a member of. I told him honestly, "I don't know, Andy. I'm a member, but I'm not going to drive past your store to shop somewhere that is a sponsor." The reason why? The Marsh discount is a joke. Each time I have pulled the MARSH card out, I was told that I was given the best price/discount included anyway. And I was, save for one time at T'nT when the proprietor told me that the Marsh discount didn't iclude dry goods or RO water. See ya. I don't do business at T'nT anymore, nor should I. I already get the best discounts at Global, Fish Land, or City Pets, without any MARSH card. So I bring this to the BOD, some LFS probably won't tell you, but they tell us, they could give a damn about any Marsh discount. Each of those store owners know what it takes to stay in business, and it's not catering to a reef club, it's giving the best customers the best price and service. Sadly, the few paid members of Marsh don't stack up.
Is there anything we/you can do to change this?
Don't tell me you have a good relationship with the LFS sponsors, because the truth is, you don't.
